Well - end of day 1

If you watched the video - you heard me say,

“The announcement of these three new cordless tools will be the BIGGEST announcement in the car detailing world at SEMA”


Now that day 1 is over - am I right? Or am I wrong?

What trumps cordless polishers from FLEX?

Hmmmm, stay "tuned" I guess

A replacement for the XC 3401 that addresses all the niggling issues that people have been complaining about for years? Either corded or cordless. Just a guess.

This appeals to me.

Whenever I see a scuff, or paint transfer on a car in a parking lot I give them my business card.

The owner always seems genuinely intrigued or interested in getting it repaired but life happens. People get busy and forget.

With one of these things in my truck when the customer asks when Can I get it done my answer will be NOW!

Excellent example Joe! I see these more a niche tool (like the Rupes Nano) vs. a use all the time tool. Perfect for busting out for quick touch-up, or as you say, doing a 'teaser' section, but not for using for a full correction.

Is there a soft rubber bumper that comes with the tool to cover the battery pack to help prevent accidental damage of the battery pack upon hitting or touching a vehicle's surface or is this as an accessory? Thanks.

curious as to how long the battery lasts, and as the battery depletes how power is handled and if there is a decrease due to power diminishing does it under the polishers speed/motion.

It will probably last a while in the beginning then drop off. I could see why mobile guys might want thins but I dont think anyone with a garage would bother. I know I wouldn't. Its not like having a cord is some major inconvenience and you dont have to deal with batteries dying. The corded tool will always have more power over the long hual. Maybe Im wrong but I dont see a lot of people biting on these.

I asked the exact same thing on the other thread, when batteries are running low how is it possible to maintain maximum performance.

Most lithium battery powered tools maintain perfomance and then just die

[fightnews]

Li-Ion batteries (which is probably what they used) deliver same output until they are out of power. So there's no decrease in power but it will die suddenly so you have no way of knowing when it's close.

The way I see this is if the battery lasts long enough to go through 1 or 2 pads, then it's great. You'll have a charger nearby already charging another battery and as you swap pads you swap batteries too. If the weight of the tool didn't get crazy heavy due to the battery, I think this is a winner and will set a new standard. Everyone hates cords.

No they dont everyone hates when batteries die

I think that is why the battery is rotated 90° from normal. This gets the battery up out of the way and less chance to hit the vehicle
