Will the Ibrid cannibalize the 75E? Is the 75E significantly faster in terms of power/cutting?

Big price difference, so doubt it

I see the Nano for use in very tight spots where the 75e is too big. The Nano is definitely the go to tool for motorcycle detailing and interior spaces. I use my 75e in spots where the 21 or 15 is just too big. As grandpa always said the right tool for the right situation". I havent preordered mine yet because Im lazy.

I have some technical cars and bikes coming up so I may go for this, the only thing is time. When is it actually going to be at our door step.

Well, I have them both now but I honestly say the 75E is far more powerful.

if you detail all the time, I`d get both. planning on getting a full size rupes, mini, and nano.

Yeah it is. I like my nano, but I think it could use a little more power.

Or a Kompakt. Since I bought my Kompakt I have used the 75e the least. I just love how smooth the mini rotary is.

I see the need for both so no, I don`t think it will. The LHR75e is using 3-4" pads and the nano uses 1-2" pads. I feel the Nano has plenty of power on rotary and 12mm mode. The 3mm does seem slow but I`d have to compare it to my TA50 before saying it needs more power.

Mostly I just love the cordless function of the Nano. I did notice a little drop in power from a freshly charged battery to a few minutes in, but it still had plenty of power IMO.

I`m with you- I was thinking I would still need the LHR75e (and not that I don`t) but I think I can get by with the Nano for a while now... I plan to buy a Mark II before the 75e.

I am very satisfied with my purchase

I have all the machines at this point except the duetto, they definitely all service a purpose. The 75E is the best for tight curved quarter panels and tight bumpers. I would use the nano for Fog ducts and grill/grill outlining. At this point the only other two I have are a G21 and a PE-14-2. Those are probably the only other two machines I`d use (At least as a weekend pro, I tend to avoid anything that requires hardcore sanding like show stuff/Not possible in a weekend).

I can quickly remove P2000 grit sand scratches with the Nano. The biggest issue I see is that people immediately put pressure on the tool as if it were it a 7-inch pad. This gives it a surface area of approximately 38 inches squared. A 1.2 inch pad has an area of 3.8 inches squared...

If we put 10 pounds of pressure on a 7 inch pad, we literally have .2 lbs per inch. If we put just 5 pounds on the small pad the force goes up to .71 lbs per inch, or over 3 times as much... When I put the Nano in people`s hands I have amazed and how hard they will push it into the paint. Light-to-no pressure is perfect when dealing with such a focused tool and will allow it to work much more efficiently.
