Rupes BigFoot iBrid HLR15 Kit Reviews

I've been waiting for this 15 for quite some time and man is it great. My recent go-to polisher has been the Milwaukee M18 and that is what I am mostly comparing it to. First off, the Rupes just feels so much lighter and balanced than the Milwaukee. It feels very familiar to the previous Rupes 15 polishers, but having no cord is definitely nice. I definitely love the lack of ‘wobble' that I experienced from the Milwaukee as this is so smooth and easy to handle. I could easily maneuver the Rupes around and it didn't feel heavy like the Milwaukee. Also, the sound is noticeably quieter which is definitely nice. I tried several pads from the Rupes yellow, the new blue intermediate and also the Yellow wool pads. All were great but did notice the foam pads were a little easier to move around vs the wool pad. One minor drawback is you do have to take into account the position of the battery when you are on certain panels since the backing plate has a lower profile than previous Rupes polishers. There were a couple of times I bumped the battery on a panel, but it's rubberized so no issue with any marks, etc, I bought the package with the polisher, pads, polish, batteries and charger and definitely recommend this kit as it is well put together. All in all, this is by far the best cordless polisher on the market today and I absolutely love this thing!

Great polisher! I've been using the Milwaukee m18 polisher & even though it's great it's heavy to me after a long day. This Rupes just clicks all the right buttons for me weight being a major issue & runs super smooth. Great product.

The Rupes 15mm cordless polisher exceeded my expectations. The lightness and balance is better than expected. When the 21 is available (tool only) I will order it immediately! Very happy with it!
