Pre-ordered the Nano from ACC

[rlmccarty2000]

I saw the preorder "special" here on Autopia. Is the Nano really going to jump that much after the "special" price goes away? Wow!

That would make you pucker! I am thinking the retail value of the of all the separate parts is that price and the kit may be 20-50 more than it is now. But that is a total guess, If I remember corectly they will be selling the tool separately at some point also.

Congrats Mike !!! You are gonna love it !!! I had the chance to play with it at Detail Fest. The thing is BAD A**

Ordered mine through AGO as I had enough balance in the 25% gift card I purchased months back..plus free shipping and 20bucks off.. Got long neck for 570 shipped, not factoring in the git card savings

2. (this is more for Rupes) Was or Is there a reason they put the voltage conversion part of the ac/dc adapter at the tool end and not at the plug in end. Ergonomically I would think it would be better at the other end with its size. My guess`s would be either running the DC current up a cord is troublesome or inefficient???? other reason would be maybe the weight helps balance the tool same as the battery does????

I can answer this one. (I`m not an electrical engineer but I play one at work. Oh wait, that`s right - I am an electrical engineer. ) For DC power transmission, depending on how much current is needed, the cable between the DC source and end point becomes very important. If enough current is needed, the cable will need to be thicker and/or shorter to minimize the power loss by the cable - given off in the form of heat (i.e., it gets hot). As it is thicker, it becomes heavier, stiffer and more expensive. (Note - The same is true for AC but to a much less degree.) It is more efficient & cost effective to keep things AC as long as you can except for low power situations.

Same reason it is AC to your house instead of DC. Thank you Nikola Tesla.

my guess was close, i knew the reason we have ac power grid just wasn`t sure how much it would effect a short distance.

[mjlinane]

Depends on the current needed. Could have been too short or stiff to be practical.

2 now that just showing off.

Was hoping you could purchase extra batteries too lol

Luckily i had built up a little over 2500 rewards points so that was 125 off.
Thank you connect!
