Garage Rupes The Claw Tool - Polishing Pad Cleaning and Removal Tool

The Rupes BigFoot Claw Pad Tool is a two-sided tool that allows you to clean and separate pads from your backing plate with ease. With the ever-changing technology and the introduction of larger throw, more powerful polishers in the market each year, the hook and loop backing on pads and backing plates has been getting stronger. This stronger grip helps keep the pads attached and centered onto the backing plate much better than before. However, when you want to remove the pads from the backing plate, it can be a challenging task.

The BigFoot Claw Pad Tool features an innovative wedge on one end, which is used to create separation between the hook and loop backing on the pad and the hook and loop face of the backing plate. This not only allows for easy pad removal, but it greatly reduces the risk of accidental tears and damage to the pad during removal. The other side of the BigFoot Claw Pad Tool features a brush with semi-stiff nylon bristles. These bristles are designed to help you clean your pad safely and easily, regardless of whether it is still attached to the backing plate or removed and ready for cleaning.

This handy tool can fit into a pocket or belt for quick access during a job. The Rupes BigFoot Claw Pad Tool is a versatile tool that can help extend the life of your polishing pads. By reducing the risk of accidental tears and making it easier to clean your pads, this tool can help you get the most out of your investment in polishing equipment.
