Which Rupes do you have?

[The Driver]

Just curious to see what everyone is running, you can post why but definitely vote which.

You can vote for more then one machine!

I have a 15 and a 21. As I get more comfortable on a rotary, it`s my tool of choice, though. Love the Rupes, though. Wish they`d release a rotary here in the US.

15 mk2 and mini. cant see myself spending that much money on nano yet.

 

[Zelfiris]

15 LHR and Mini. Also own a flex. With the volume of correction I do (and the price of nano), I cannot justify buying a nano

I bought an original style 15 because I wanted to try something other than a rotary. It works well, not as fast or as smooth as a rotary, but it exceeded my expectations at first.

The 21, 15, and mini. Waiting until Autopia to get the long neck nano in stock or drop the price of the short neck down a few hundred. Lol.

I went from a 15 to a 15 Mk II.

The difference is significant, and I`m glad I did it. I was able to upgrade for like $15. Don`t ask me how...

I don`t see ever needing to upgrade from the Mk II.

The should sell just an electric powered Nano for like $250 with just the rotary head. No batteries or multiple heads.

Prolly would sell well.

 

[rlmccarty2000]

I haven`t gone to the MKII yet. I just use the 21 for the horizontal panels and the 15 for the vertical panels and the mini for difficult spots. I really want the Nano for interiors, wheels, mirror housings, and all the places I couldn`t get to before. I would love to have both the short and long neck versions, but that is crazy money. I am glad I waited until they worked the bugs out of the long neck version though. I hope I get the new and improved version.

Soooooo, does anybody use the MT300 from Megs? I know The Guz had issues with it, but aside from that, I don`t hear much about it!

 

[JBM]

I use a zentool, works as advertised.

I`ve used it once since I had it repaired after the second failure and it made it. It still has it`s uses but it`s not my prime polisher. I was turned away by it`s failure that once I went with the Rupes I won`t go back. The Rupes blows it out of the water. The MT300 is a good learning tool for my bro when he comes over to assist.
