My experience with Harbor Freight is if it's not something you have to use frequently, it's normally worth it. Pretty much all of my hand tools are HF, none of them have failed yet. I've also had good luck with an electric impact from HF. They work fine, but I don't use them very often.
If you're only going to use it every once in a while, I'd chance $60 on a HF polisher if it was actually a DA.
Fwiw, most of us go with the PC from autogeek because they have good packages to get the polisher and pads and other stuff all at once for a good price.

I know HF tools are hit or miss, but I was hoping that someone has tried this specific tool. I would get a PC but they rarely show up used on CL or eBay. I would volunteer to be a guinea pig and test it but I've never used a PC and I'm no expert on detailing so I wouldn't be able to give a fair comparison.

I have one and it works well. You'll need to get another velcro pad for it though because the diameter of the included one fits no readily available pads. At least not in my experience. But I've never used a PC either.
