    Re: How much do you think the BigFoot Nano will cost?

    That`s what the Ferrari salesman tell you to make you feel bag about asking for a better price. Depending on the car you can or can`t get a better price.

    I hope I can get the rupes for a decent price. I love their other stuff. I was thinking about this machine as I struggles to get some wheel weight adhesive out if the barrel of the wheel yesterday. If I can justify the cost when it`s released by rupes I`m in. If not I will wait for the next version that someone is already working on I`m sure after seeing this at SEMA. I thinks the price point released is too hi for the mass markets and the uber high end detail community is not big enough to consume a large number of units

    I hope rupes surprises U.S. And me

    Now before anyone balks at that, you might want to understand the full scope of what the kit is to include:

    • Bigfoot Nano tool (long or short neck configuration - this is not interchangeable)
    • 2 batteries
    • Charger
    • Powered adapter
    • 3 movement heads (12mm orbit, 3mm orbit, rotary)
    • Specialized wrench for head changes
    • 2 hook/loop backing plate sizes
    • sanding interface pad
    • 150ml Coarse (Zephyr) compound
    • 150ml Fine (Keramik) compound
    • blue foam pads in 2 sizes
    • yellow foam pads in 2 sizes
      • NOTE: pads included are sleeves of 4 or 5 each color and size

    • sanding discs
    • multiple brush attachments (4 or 5 if my count is correct)
    • The custom foam lined carrying bag

    For an Italian made tool, plus everything that comes in the above kit: $500 - $600 is totally reasonable. I would have been surprised if it retailed for anything less.

    Is it too rich for my blood? Heck yeah! But I can appreciate an innovative tool commanding a premium price.

    During the detail I did yesterday I kept thinking about all the ways this sucker would have come in handy. Maybe if I start selling off my extra detailing odd & ends now, I`ll have enough $$$ for an iBrid come March
