What’s the Difference?
I am glad you asked. Though these variable speed polishers are similar, in detail, these tool differences are what make them great for specific jobs. The significant difference between these tools is who they were intended for. The PE 15-20 RT is for the automotive and finishing market. On the other hand, the PE 15-30 is for heavy-duty applications.
(PE 15-20 RT)
The Extra High-Torque Variable Speed Dry Polisher has a no-load speed of 300-1,900 rpm, 133 in-lbs. Of torque and 13 Amps. A soft hand grip, rubberized cover, and the rat-tail handle position create maximum ergonomic comfort for day-long polishing. It is perfect for the shop that needs to work on detailing or working out those rough spots on their car or clients.
The PE 15-20 RT can make car polishing more efficient than hand or other polishers. With a grip that feels natural, you can go from car to car all day without worrying about discomfort. Only taking 13 Amps, this device will not be any reason for a power outage in your shop.
(PE 15-30)
The High-Torque Variable Speed Dry Polisher has a no-load speed of 800-3,000 rpm with 13 Amps. Along with an adjustable loop handle for optimal control while in use. It is powerful enough to help strip any impurities or scuffs on concrete to get it to a smooth surface, ready to apply a polishing coat.
The PE 15-30 can easily adjust to a day’s work and quickly shift from grit to grit with any hook and loop pad you need. Going from cleaning to buffing in one tool is no significant upgrade, but having comfort is one feature you cannot ignore. With an adjustable loop handle, you can hold or apply pressure as you need without worrying about meeting the surface or the high-spinning pads.
Nothing could be worse than losing your grip on your tool and having it fly out of your hands. Other than ruining your work by catching yourself and putting marks on your surface. Sure, it might be small, but that means more time is wasted fixing a small mistake, which is always the worst.
What do they have in common?
PE 12-20 RT and PE 15-30 comprise VTC electronics (vario-tacho-constant)-Metabo’s exclusive technology. This technology helps maintain RPM under load while protecting the end user and extending the tool’s life. Both also have overload protection, protecting the machine from overheating. This preventative measure will prolong the tool’s life, and the soft start allows for a smooth start-up.
Metabo has also included restart protection. This technology would prevent the tool from starting independently if there were a power interruption. The last thing you want is the polisher starting up when it is not on your intended surface.
The polishers are equipped with electronic winding temperature monitors with LED displays to save you energy. That way, you can see if the tool is close to overheating. You are giving yourself time so you can ease off a bit and still work without interruption. With that in mind, both devices have a lock on the trigger/ switch to run the tool for extended periods. You will not have to keep squeezing the trigger or switch to get the hard spot. The locking feature reduces the number of daily hand cramps.
Final Thoughts
You are meant for the trades professional who needs more power, comfort, and reliability. The design of the tools, the technology inside, and how much it can adjust its RPM can make polishing concrete, steel, or metal easier. When shopping, you pay attention to which one you need.
