We know everyone is very anxious to receive their new Rupes iBrid Kit (including Mike Phillips! :laughing:).

The good news is that as RUPES' largest distributor in the U.S., we have more headed our way than anyone else. :dblthumb2:

The bad news, if you would like to call it that, is the shipments are coming in small batches. Today we received a handful of units.

We appreciate everyone's patience - the wait has been killing us as well. We received a lot of pre-orders for the new iBrid System, and we will be fulfilling them in the order that they were received.

A few of you will be receiving a shipping confirmation later today. ;)

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
 
Not yet, I think maybe Wednesday. Over 2000 miles to Pacific North West.

3248.9 miles

I wonder if I will get one by the end of summer if I order now... or if I should just wait until AG has them in stock and put the money towards a new extractor for now.
 
I got mine today
Having 2 issues

1 I thread the counter balances till motor moves, followed by the backing plate..turn on and whole things comes off after a few seconds
Only does this with the counter weights
Backing plate stays attached to counter weight and counter weight untreads while machine is running

If I screw green adapter and brush, it stays attached

Other issues is the direct drive button doesn't engage/stay down
With red counter weight I can push button down, but it doesn't lock in and just pops up when I release pressure
With blue counter weight it won't even let me push button down..
This is with it on off position

Did everyone that received theirs have 2 empty circles in their case too?

Are you using the spindle lock button to hold the rotation and tightening the eccentric down with the included wrench?

Not sure what you mean by 'direct drive button' - do you mean the spindle lock? That is only to be used when attaching/detaching your eccentric set and it is spring loaded so it only stays down when pressed. [/quote]

Where were these 2 circles? If under the tool cut out space in the case those are supposed to be there.
 
It's been a month since I've ordered mine. Sure hope I get it soon. The anticipation is killing me.
 
Does anyone know when the 1 and 2 inch pads will be available? Also will they offer all color pads?
 
i want to see some one doing work with this thing, lol i want one so bad
 
Well I recieved my ibrid today. Unfortunately my kit is missing backing plates so I can't use it. Definitely not what I expected when paying this much for a tool. Hopefully AG or rupes can send some soon. Other than that it seems nice. Light weight, and powerful. Case is really nice as well.
