    Corded PXE or NANO on steroids?

    I really love the PXE But wish there was a corded version. Or even an option like the Nano did. I have only read incredible love stories on the PXE.
    But do hear the only draw back is the 20 minutes a charge or under powered.
    I like what Rupes did with the corded option. And the tool is so SEXY! And has it's place in the mix. People love the agility in hard to reach areas. But drawback is being under powered on 3 inch pads.
    I can see a refined version being a Nano on steroids!. And a corded PXE or a plug in battery option.
    If both tools addressed these issues, that would be a tough call. would boil down to Benz or Beamer at that point!

    Sounds like a Griots G8 would fit your corded desire.

    I have one. I love it! I was just thinking out loud. I still see allot of cars where the PXE and Nano would shine. I was just looking yesterday at the new vet. Allot of deep tight spots!

    I have no issues with the PXE as a 3 inch polisher. Has plenty of power. Same goes for the ibrid as I have it as well and I primarily use it as a 1 inch polisher. Both are great to have and both have enough power to correct.

    What about the Rupes pneumatic machines, the LHR75 or LD30?

    Re: Corded PXE or NANO on steroids?

    If I wanted power and chorded I would take the g13 over the g8. Still a 3” but has a 13mm throw vs an 8mm. You would get more cut and most mini’s have a long throw.

    Most use the PXE as a 3” and have read good results with 12mm adapter. I feel the PXE is best considered as a 3” chordless vs a Nano competitor.

    Nano seems to work better with smaller pads and can fit into tighter areas.
