Orange Bat QC vs Bison
Two dual-spindle platforms sized for different work: Orange Bat QC stays compact; Bison adds a larger pad, frame and drive interface.
Compact platform
Large-format platform
Bison
8.25-inch pad · 5/16-inch drive · 1.22 kg
Start with the glass area, then the drive hardware.
The larger tool is not automatically the better tool. Pad seating area, frame clearance and compatible drive parts determine the practical fit.
01 / Footprint
A compact 158 mm body or a 210 mm frame?
Orange Bat QC
Orange Bat QC weighs 0.692 kg and measures 158 mm long, leaving more options when working space is limited.
Bison
Bison weighs 1.22 kg and measures 210 mm long, creating a larger, more substantial platform.
Check the vehicle first. A larger frame needs suitable clearance; a smaller frame gives up the Bison pad size.
02 / Pad size
Six inches or 8.25 inches of contact area?
Orange Bat QC
The 6-inch pad presents a smaller footprint for passenger glass and tighter or more curved landing areas.
Bison
The 8.25-inch pad needs more room and is intended for the larger-format Bison platform.
Pad diameter is not a load rating. Surface condition, curvature and correct seating still determine whether the cup can hold.
03 / Drive interface
The bits and hand tools are different sizes.
Orange Bat QC
Orange Bat QC uses 1/4-inch hex winding connections and matching drive hardware.
Bison
Bison uses 5/16-inch winding connections and the corresponding Bison-size bits and hand crank.
Do not treat the kits as interchangeable. Match every drive component to the platform.

Choose the platform that fits the panels you actually see.
Orange Bat QC emphasizes compact placement and lower tool weight. Bison emphasizes a larger contact footprint and its own larger drive system.
Orange Bat QC: compact placement
Choose the smaller pad and lighter body for passenger-vehicle work, tighter landing areas and the 1/4-inch drive ecosystem.
Explore Orange Bat QC →Bison: larger working format
Choose the larger pad, longer frame and 5/16-inch drive when your regular work provides the surface area and calls for the Bison hardware set.
Explore Bison →Both still demand the same setup discipline.
Seat the pad correctly
Use clean, suitable glass and stop if the manual vacuum indicator shows inadequate hold.
Use matching hardware
Bits, hand cranks and related drive parts must match the platform and its spindle size.
Control the winding path
Keep the fiber line feeding as instructed and stop to resolve binding rather than forcing the drive.
