    For those DIYers who don't recognize every mini tool, could you please tell us - left to right - what tools you are showing.

    Thanks.

    In my experience with both the RUPES Nano & the Flex PXE 80 12-EC (PiXiE) it’s not so much a size difference, there really isn’t much in it between the pair. The PiXiE feels more like a polisher in hand & without weighing them the Flex feels lighter & more we’ll balanced.

    In terms of performance - night & day difference in my opinion. Whilst the RUPES Nano is capable in rotary configuration, it just simply doesn’t work in free spinning DA mode. The Flex however - DOES.

    Then we have the comparison between swapping out configurations too. Fiddling around with tools to change the RUPES Nano from rotary to the two free spinning DA options compared to the tool-free quick change system of the Flex PXE - as a detailer/shop owner, time is money & well, it’s just so mush easier.

    Thanks for getting this Aaryn.

    Normally I do list the tools, I could have been in a hurry for a hot deadline when I wrote.

    I've added the left-to-right list to the first post in this thread.

    I saw my original picture on the AG Facebook page and one of the first questions was,

    Where's the RUPES BigFoot Mini?


    When I took the original picture, I simple forgot to grab it and include it in the picture. So to be thorough, I re-took the picture today and updated the first post in this thread.

    Yeah.... I can't believe I forgot about the RUPES Mini when I took the original photo.

    My picture was shared on the AG Facebook page and someone asked "why" no picture of the RUPES Mini?

    So because I like to make everyone happy and consider myself and

    Equal Opportunity Exploiter


    I simply lined up all the tools and took a fresh pictures.
