    Re: Don`t scratch anything with the metal housing on nano!

    Physics eh? lol

    It actually saved me from scuffing the underside of a side view mirror once already. aside from that...

    While they will probably solve it, I feel it would be a while before they release an update for this tool, there is very little room for improvement here... (at this time anyway)

    A plastic/rubber housing/sleeve
    Variable speed trigger (not likely, I just don`t think they see this is much of an issue since the mini sells so well)
    ... nothing else? lol

    They also have no incentives to update, there just isnt any competition.

    The incentive would be to avoid having a competitor come out with a product that does have those extra features, and losing sales. Also, many customers like yourself would probably upgrade to an updated version even if the existing tool still works.

    Mebbe they listen to their customers? (unique concept)

    Re: Don`t scratch anything with the metal housing on nano!

    well.. im not saying they wont, but logically speaking, if there is no competition, they can take their sseet ass time to update.

    and.. no i wont buy another one just because iphone 8 came out.

    i would be really surprised if they came out with an update in less than a 2 year product life cycle... but then again, what do i know? obviously none of the unique concepts nor upgrading the same product over and over again for minimal changes...

    Re: Don`t scratch anything with the metal housing on nano!

    Will this make the head get hotter at the gears because of holding the heat in like a pipe insulation ? I just got the long neck and live in a hot climate South Florida. I really like the idea but do not want to over heat the tool.

    Re: Don`t scratch anything with the metal housing on nano!

    the heat is from the motor (handle), i wasnt aware of any real heat generating parts at the head. just gears and shafts and bearings.

    Also i dont think this is a tool you will be running over 6-10 minutes at a time.. if you are a bigger tool would probably get the job done quicker thats what i think anyway.

    Any insulation will increase heat retention, so if that is a major concern (I don`t think it should be), then don`t wrap or coat the Nano. The gears should handle a small increase in temperature just fine, as should the grease/lubricant. I honestly don`t see the wrap causing a problem.

    Interesting thoughts...

    I recently did a vehicle that felt like I did the majority of the vehicle with just the iBrid long neck nano.
    So much so that rather than using the batteries I used the A/C adapter (a/c is recommended by Rupes)
    There were LOTS of small areas, tiny curves, long curves, spoiler, under the spoiler, deck sides etc.
    Yes, there were times when the handle did get a little warm and I was a a bit surprised at that?

    For those of you that have run the iBrid without the shroud via rotary...I`ve done it close up in DA mode.
    BTW - It can be pretty scary with that flying around near the paint. Yes, I am looking forward to the tape!
    Thank you Raymoche for the excellent idea!
