Has anyone tried the new Pac Bay Quad Dryer? Any comments on it? Who carries them? Thanks, Marc.

Hi Marc,
We have used it and it's nice. The only complaint I have is that I think the motors are to slow of rpm, but then I wouldn't use this Quad dryer for applying coating just for transfering over from my faster drying motor. I am a supplier of these

Thanks Neal. Are you saying that it's too slow for applying, but a good RPM for turning while the finish is curing? Thanks.

Hey Marc,
i have several of the old single Pac Bay dryers and i now have one of the newer quad dryers, had it for a couple of months now. The old singles used more metal in the chuck jaws, etc. the quad dryer is almost all plastic.

Having said that, i bought the quad for space saving so I could dry 6 rods now in the same space I could dry 3 before. In that sense it works fine. I do have to wrap some tape around the outside of the chucks so some types of rods don't work themselves free and fall out. But then I had to do the same with the single dryers made of metal in the past.

For the price, I thought they were worth it. And yes, i use them for drying only,

Why not think about building one and putting it say on the wall. This way you can upgrade it so rods don't fall out.
