Maybe I'll wait another 6 months for the "Chinese Copycat" to come out! LOL
I believe that will be the price for the kit. My local detail supply shop said 399-599. I can't imagine the tool alone would be over $399 though. Either way, I see it as having a lot of uses so it may be worth it. Everything from detailing small areas to brushing your teeth. Can't beat that. Hell, if even looks like something a woman could enjoy as well.

Prices are already out. Items available for pre-order...
$589.99 for Long Neck Kit
$569.99 for Short Neck Kit
For now, there is no "tool only" option. You must buy a kit.

It is a lot of money but if you do Lamborghini's Ferraris and high end paint correction and charge 3-5k a job you simply need this machine and will make you back your money in the first job.
When you have tools like this you can explain to your customer you have special tools that can polish hard to reach areas that the average Joe or even elite detailer don't have.
And they will understand that you have the best tools and why you are charging them what you are charging them.
This machine or kit isn't for a weekend warrior a hobbyist heck even a regular pro. (Depending on how much he charges for paint correction)
This is for the perfectionist who can and will charge more to perfect every single panel he can.

Re: The Next REVOLUTION: The BigFoot Nano w/ iBrid Technology
Out of curiosity would a 1 inch pad in rotary mode burn paint faster or slower than say a flex with a 5 inch? I'm assuming it would take longer due to the rotational speed at the outer edge of a larger pad being faster than the outer edge of a 1" pad but not sure if my thinking is correct. Also assuming both tools set at the same RPM.
Thank you
