Power tools?

I was a bit unsure but I had heard all these wonderful stories about the shine that the buffer would give the polymer clay beads. I went out to buy one on Wednesday and nearly fainted when the salesman told me how much it was - eeep - could I really afford to spend that amount on this thing? What if I was dissapointed? What if I kick myself in the b**t because I have wasted money again?
Well I got the contraption home and only unpacked it on Thursday. It smelt like oil and tools - not the kind of aroma that I enjoy. I got a bead out and buffed it and the shine was 1000 times better than I ever expected - it is amazing. Now I am kicking myself in the b**t because I did not buy it a long time ago. LOL
