Product Overview

The RUPES BigFoot Claw Pad Tool (9.BF7001) is a professional, compact, dual‑purpose accessory designed to improve efficiency and prolong pad life during polishing. One end features a precision wedge that safely separates pads from the backing plate without stressing the hook‑and‑loop interface, while the opposite end incorporates a semi‑rigid nylon brush engineered to clean foam, microfiber, and short‑pile wool pads directly on the machine.

By removing dried compound residue and restoring pad texture, the Claw Pad Tool helps maintain consistent cutting and finishing performance throughout the polishing process. Its ergonomic design fits easily into a pocket or belt pouch, making it a convenient tool for professional detailers, body shops, and refinish technicians.

Sold one tool per package.
