Abstract

A hand-holdable apparatus is provided for polishing and buffing shoes. The apparatus is comprised of a housing, the upper side of which is provided with a handle, and the lower side of which is provided with a channel through which the spindle of a rotary brush or buffing wheel may be inserted for releasable engagement. The housing encloses an electric motor and gear mechanism for driving said spindle. A releasing mechanism operable from a site adjacent the handle effects removal of the spindle when a change of the brush or buffing wheel is desired.
