Orbot pad driver - Jim Cross - 11-15-2013
Is there something different than the Velcro driver. Thought I'd read that Rick was developing something. Or I could have imagined it :-)

Call Excellent supply and ask for the "dura-grip" I have it on my Orbot and is great.
RE: Orbot pad driver - encapman - 11-16-2013
Yep, we developed a heavy duty driver plate for the Orbot and named it the Duragrip. Give us a call and we can get one sent out to you. It's a lot like the stock Orbot driver plate - only the Duragrip is beefier! Considerably beefier.

The only absorbent pad that I can use is the super Zorb. It seems that any other type of cotton pad the Orbot driver wants to chew it up. Especially the center of the pad. Will the Dura grip eliminate the problem?
RE: Orbot pad driver - TheCleaningDude - 11-17-2013
That's great!
Do you have any pics? What kinds of pads can be used?
How is the plate installed?

I have other type of scrub pads. the only type of absorbent pad that I find I can use is the super Zoerb. The driver is what comes on the original Orbot. It's a Velcro driver. And it chews up absorbent pads whether the Velcro pad is new or used. I don't remember all the pads I have used but I know I have used glad pads. And it chews up about a 2 inch diameter in the center. I know a few others or at least some others have experienced similar problems.
RE: Orbot pad driver - TheCleaningDude - 11-17-2013
Yeah, I know all too well. I actually run two Orbots myself.
I was referring to the driver that Rick mentioned, would like to know more about it.

Lol. Then those are good questions. I would like no the answer myself.
RE: Orbot pad driver - encapman - 11-17-2013
The DuraGrip driver plate will run similar pads as the stock Orbot driver plate. There may be some small variations in pad wear, but the differences would be negligible. The big difference is that the DuraGrip driver plate is quite a bit more durable.
Instead of wearing out in 5 minutes, it'll last 9 minutes

I have the DuraGrip on my Orbot. It works great and you will love it! I never liked the velcro idea!
