Default Hitachi/Makita Vibrations?

Can anyone compare the vibrations between these 2 machines?

As you all know Im not a fan of HD rotaries, I prefer the Metabo, however, lately Ive been using the Hitachi more and more, and I seem to like it more and more.

But after using it, I kind of feel the tingling feeling in my hands like the old PC days. Anyone own both?

If not, Ill have to order a Makita and find out for myself.

I never got that feeling with the Makita...or the Porter Cable..or the DeWalt (wow I am a real rotary breaker aren't I) I never owned both...but I don't think they have much vibration.

Sorry for the marginally useless reply.

Well you need to make sure the pad is centered on the rotary...but other then that you should shouldn't be getting any vibration...I know I get no vibration from my Makita nor Metabo but if I don't center the foam pad properly it will vibrate a bit.

Oh I've never tried the Hitachi so I can't compare

Not really a scam, Ive purchased a couple of things from them and got the order.

But a lot of people didnt, so its sort of a hit or miss.
