Toro Revo vs. Toro Revo NaCl

[Scoot]

Is there a difference between these two reels? ...I mean, other than the marketing, pretty color, and $20?

I hear the NACL has a lot stronger gears. Mine will be on my doorstep today I hope. I'll let you know how it goes. Oh also Abu does not make the revo toro regular anymore the NACL replaced it.

I was told they have the exact same gears. Not sure of fact from fiction about this. The more I hear, the more I question if there is any difference other than what I mentioned in my first post.

The only difference I could spot is that the NaCl has an "X2-Craftic" allow frame and sideplate, while the regular Revo Toro only has "X-Craftic".

Just gotta figure out what that '2' in 'X2' means. Not much I suspect. Except I think it stands for '$20 more'.

Hiya -

Different alloy in the frame, and the handles are different. The NaCl has round EVA foam knobs vs the flat paddles on the Toro. The EVA knobs are actually pretty sweet. I like 'em anyhow.

The NaCl also has one additional roller bearing but that isn't likely something a guy would notice performance-wise.

I have both, like 'em both. It's a pick-em other than the knobs. And the 'purty' factor...which means zilch to me personally.

Also the NaCl is available in the 5.4:1 gear ratio - the original Toro is no longer available in 5.4 only the HS 6.4 or the Winch.

The extra money is worth it for the different handles alone. Sooo much more comfortable than the old ones. I wish they sold just the handles I would buy them and put them on my other toros. BTW they come with two. So if anyone wants to sell their extra handle I will buy it!
