Rupes 15 III vs. Gear Driven DA’s

[Mike Hoekstra]

Thanks so much for the help. I did look at the G9 too but had read longer throws are more friendly for beginners due it dissipating heat better?

There's a combo pack out there (can't remember where I saw it) with the G9 and G8 for less than $350. Are the, "minis" needed (as @JustJesus) had suggested?

The heat is a non-issue really with a random orbit. New pad technology, and the G9 being cooled as it is, won't affect anything you are planning to work on. You will be OK with the G9.

I was going to suggest the same. Or even "find" a new GG6 so he can get a 3" plate and pads.

I still see the GG6 for sale on the big "A".

I will say this: I would NEVER get rid of my GG6!

I can't imagine if anything is needed in detailing. I'm not looking around, but 350 seems pretty good for the two tools.

The big GG also has them. I do carry my GG6 as a back-up tool on my mobile jobs! With both backing plates (5" and 3")

I didn't know that. Didn't see that on the site.

annnnnnd....they're gone. Huh, it wasn't that long ago that I saw it. Good price, too.

I'd recommend anyone reading this thread to go over to the A and grab one before they are gone as well.

(I'd never recommend Amazon over AG/GG, but if that's the last place that has them for sale............... )

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I found a few barely used GG 6" locally and reached out to see if they're still available. They're all sub $80 so likely will still pick up a G9 with the savings!

EDIT: Found the GG 6" on AG for $115 and applied a coupon code! Y'all the real MVPs. Including AG.

Great machine, and built to last forever. NEVER let it go! Lol

Wow I'm glad I checked in on this thread. I just used my G6 today because I couldn't find my G9 in the garage mess and it came through Again! . My saying is tools have advantages for each users experience. If you have an autobody shop or pick and pull junkyard, ask them for a sxao trunk or hood or buy a used trunk lid off a car that has damaged but is still large enough to practice on.
