$400 - $500 for the kit is not too bad.

450-500 sounds about right.

No, obviously not. But it serves a similar purpose and since it does it is directly its competition. My point is why would someone buy the iBrid if it is double the price or more of a Kompakt? Because it is strictly convenience of being wireless? C`mon man. Maybe it is just me, I have a tough time spending $500 just for the convenience.

That is one seriously sweet machine... Wow
Todd, I want one and at the same time I am afraid of the additional time it will add to my detail. There are just too many new places that I can now clean and polish.
Any chance of a SEMA open box special. Lol. I can dream can`t I?
It will come with a rotary, a 3mm and a 12mm eccentric set. You will be able to fit a 30mm or 50mm backing plate on the 3mm and 12mm sets. OR it will come with 5 sets, a rotary a 3 mm set for 30 mm pads and a 3 mm set for 50 mm pads, and a 12 mm set for 30 mm pads and a 12 mm for 50 mm pads. The tool is still in prototype form so not everything has been finalized. Sorry for the confusion, it is my fault. ]
Yes Ron, you do.
The pads are going to be 30 mm (1.2 inch) and 50 mm (2 inch). Again, my mistake for a typo. `
1.2 in and 2 inch pads.
Yes!!!
No, not yet.
With your skill level, I am confident you put it to good use.
Tell me about it. TY!
Initially the tool will be offer in kit form only, but individual parts will be available in time (of course). No idea about a cheaper, battery-less kit, although I will certainly suggest your idea to the powers that be.
No, pricing hasn`t been released yet. The tool is still in prototype form so there are some costs to work out.
The Mk.I tools will continue on, in Apple fashion, at a much lower price point as well. So those who want a low-cost, but high-quality option into the large throw market will be able to go with genuine RUPES products.
Probably more.
Not sure, but getting closer I would think. Keep in mind this is a completely new tool that pushes the boundaries far past what has been available previously. A lot of time and engineering went into the development of this tool.
I am quite confident that this tool will pay for itself in both time savings and the amount of work now possible to carry out via machine.
Technology and innovation is not cheap either, particularly when you consider this is completely ground breaking technology.
Perhaps, I really don`t know.
And a cord, and 18 pads, and compounds, and brushes, and eccentric kits, and a bag, etc etc etc...
While you can put extensions on any rotary and use a small pad, we feel the value in the BigFoot Nano comes from its ability to go into places, at angles, that no other polisher can, in addition to the versatility of having multiple movements and the option of powerful hands-free operation.
Good problem to have!

zero chance. This tool is not in production yet so it will not be sold at SEMA. Sorry
Yes like mentioned above, the small head and narrower design will allow for easier access to smaller areas, sort of reminds me of a Palm air ratchet I had , and this alone has me pretty sold on it and willing to accept the battery addition. Thanks for the reply Todd ,really keeping my eye on this one.
Am i the only one thinking that it should be called the Littlefoot?

You`re comparing a stand alone tool with a single movement type and single input power type to a tool with 3 different types of movement, 2 power supply options, and a lower vertical profile. Not to mention the kit will also include a selection of pads, compounds, abrasives, and brushes, PLUS it will include a dedicated carrying case with custom cut foam for transport.
Its a lot more than just convenience - its a completely different segment of tool, one that hasn`t existed before.
The body is quite similar to some pneumatic tools from the USA, However this is certainly a very nice tool
I like the changeable sets. Excellent idea regarding corded and cordless. Thanks for throwing rotary in there too
Price in Australia next year for it might be too painful to bare. Bigfoot was 700 here thus why I didn`t buy it.
