Compact and lightweight – the Skil 1144 polisher’s design reduces fatigue when polishing large surfaces
Polishers are used for various applications and a wide variety of materials. However, Skil junior brand manager Taahir Suliman explains that the Skil 1144 is aimed at the convenience-oriented pragmatic DIY enthusiast that will use the tool for polishing vehicles.
“The Skil 1144 is designed for getting the best polishing, light cutting and finishing results. It is great for removing light scratches, light swirls, paint defects and more. It can be used to either enhance the looks, to remove oxidation or to eliminate scratches from the material,” he explains.
With a powerful 1200 W motor, it can be used on large surfaces with minimal effort. It also features an adjustable speed control for the required polishing performance on different materials. The Skil 1144 polisher is also able to maintain consistent rpm, regardless of the amount of pressure applied to the tool.
According to Suliman, the tool was designed specifically with ease-of-use in mind. “The controlled start-up feature eliminates possible splatter of the polish when turning on the tool. The rat tail design provides a soft grip for continued control and the D-shaped side handle ensures a comfortable grip in every working situation.”
The Skil 1144 polisher comes standard with three polishing pads and a backing pad made from Velcro material for fast and easy accessory change. It is suitable for sanding pads with a diameter of 180 mm or more and its M14 spindle thread accepts any brand attachment.
