Overview
SEMA 2015 brings it’s first big announcement, the Rupes nano BigFoot iBrid! This small polisher, which resembles that of a large electronic toothbrush, packs a big punch it its little frame. We do not have the exact specifications on this high torque motor yet, but watching it in action at SEMA leaves us excited for the iBrid. 15 minutes is all you will need to charge the battery and each 15 minute charge will give you 30 minutes of run time. Do not have time to charge? No problem! The iBrid also has a cord attachment for continued use. 1″ and 2″ pads fit perfectly on the two backing plates this polisher comes with and their are two throw options, 3mm and 12mm. With the small silver piece (pictured below) you can easily change out backing plates and take advantage of the larger or smaller throw. You can even change from DA to Rotary in just seconds! This makes this buffer extremely easy to control and maneuver in various tight areas on the paint, near headlights, side skirts, wheels, etc. Any tight area you can think of really benefits from the iBrid!
