The Rupes BigFoot LHR21 MK V is the ultimate dual action polisher, delivering unmatched cutting power, smoothness, and precision in a professional-grade car polisher.
The Rupes LHR21 MK V takes everything detailers loved about the BigFoot range and pushes it further, cementing its place as the flagship da polisher for tackling large, flat panels. Featuring a massive 21mm orbit paired with a 150mm (6") backing plate, the LHR21 MK V maximises correction speed and surface coverage, making it the tool of choice for professional body shops and detailers working on big jobs.
At its core, this Rupes dual action polisher uses innovative POLYSYNTHEC™ composite gears, engineered for strength, reduced wear, and lower energy loss compared to traditional gearing. The result is smoother, quieter performance with drastically reduced vibration – ensuring long sessions are easier and more comfortable. In fact, noise levels are cut by nearly 50% compared to earlier models, protecting user comfort while maintaining exceptional power.
Another breakthrough comes from the PrecisionPro backing pads with a rubber safety edge, designed for balance and stability across a variety of pads while protecting paintwork from accidental damage. Combined with the new lower centre of gravity, 13mm lower than previous generations, the Mark V offers unrivalled control, stability, and precision, even on complex panels.
Built for demanding professionals, the LHR21 MK V is more than just a car polisher, it’s a flagship buffing machine that combines cutting-edge ergonomics, advanced engineering, and legendary Rupes performance.
