Don’t burn up your polisher!
Your favorite polisher now has a 16 gauge, 25 ft. power cord! Reach far and wide with the Porter Cable 7424 HD Plus. With a 25 ft. cord, the best dual action polisher just got better. The 16 gauge cord is 2 ½ times the length of the ordinary Porter Cable 7424’s cord. This is not a drop cord – it’s wired into the polisher to deliver maximum power and performance.
FACT: A low gauge indicates a larger cord width, a high gauge indicates a narrower cord. So a 25 ft, 16 gauge cord costs more than a 25 ft, 18 gauge cord. If you use a drop cord, it must be a lower gauge than the cord currently wired into the machine to avoid burning up the motor.
The standard Porter Cable 7424 comes with a 10 ft, 18 gauge power cord. The cord is specific to the power requirements of the polisher. Therefore,
the 25 ft cord on the Porter Cable 7424 HD Plus is 16 gauge to maintain the optimum current for optimum performance.
We call this polisher “HD” because of the heavy duty 16 gauge cord. In the world of power cords, a lower gauge equals a thicker cord.
The HD Plus model has a 16 gauge cord to give the current a wider path so it can make the 25 ft journey faster.
You will not lose any power by using this longer, thicker cord. Likewise, you will not overpower the machine. You’ll get the same performance you’re accustomed to and you can take it farther!
It’s “Plus” because you get a full 25 feet of cord to work with. The regular Porter Cable 7424 has a 10 ft cord, which keeps you on a short leash. With 25 ft of cord, you can move around any size vehicle more easily.
The cord on the PC HD Plus is 2 ½ times the length of the regular 7424’s cord.
Same polisher, new cord. The
Porter Cable HD Plus is otherwise the same polisher you know and love. It still has 3.7 amps and all ball bearing construction, plus a variable speed between 2500 and 6000 OPM.
The spiral and bevel gearing provides for smooth operation and efficient transfer of power. The speed dial is on the end of the motor, out of the way, preventing accidental changing of the speed. A handy slide switch prevents hand fatigue when the unit must be run for the extended periods of time that polishing operations require. The random orbit action of the special six-inch polishing pad provides a smooth, swirl-free finish. An included side handle fits either the left or right side for maximum comfort.
With the addition of this 25 ft power cord, this machine is a detailer’s dream. It allows you excellent maneuverability around the vehicle without sacrificing any power.
