Do you find yourself using both or one over the other (nano vs pxe)?

Well, as you know, use the biggest tool that can easily get the job done, which starts with the CBeast for me. But for the smaller areas, I’ll use the PXE with 3” pad where I can and move down to 2” if it still makes sense to use the PXE. The Nano is only for smaller areas that the PXE can’t do, which means 1” or 2” pads with the Nano. So yes, I’d choose the PXE over Nano if there is an option. The PXE is more powerful and the battery lasts a little longer. The Nano (long-neck) has a smaller diameter body but that really doesn’t influence me.

Just got my Tornador Max today and was able to use it on an inside detail. Absolute Game Changer!

Yeah I want a nano but can’t think we’re it being a little smaller would make more sense for me. Maybe front lip of car…

I invested a good $2k into a 240V 60gal compressor and electrical upgrades to handle it. Best decision I ever made.
Using air tools has sent my business to the next level this year. The Tornador blow gun is my money maker. Hammered mini van interiors are no big thing anymore.
Velocity Vac is also great.

My modest 240V 60 gallon is on the way, big change for me! I’ve had compressors and air tools for 30 years, but without adequate flow (volume), there’s only so much I can do (efficiently) — waiting for the 20 gallon tank to top up every 90 seconds of wire-brushing parts gets old in a big hurry!!

It’s not from here, but I couldn’t be happier with my wheel detailing stand. I don’t often have to detail wheels off the car, but even if it just gets used when I change all our cars' tires every spring and fall, it will pay for itself in personal satisfaction.
