HALLOWEEN CONTEST - Scariest Wand Used daily

[floorguy]

thats a

Dads weekend T-shirt XXL

Its been scabbed/pimped out....

Had some brackets welded to it, so that I could add a 4 jet manifold...you can kind of see where the holder was for a single jet wand, 6" up off the ground.....

i think its a 70s or 80s workmaster wand...

one of our customers came in yesterday with this wand so we quickly replaced the batteries in our camera (that is why the date is incorrect) and took a picture of this wand. Just when you think you have seen everything in this industry something always surprises you.
customers quote "can you fix this wand or put a on a glide"

You didn't let him leave with that wand did you? That thing should never be allowed on carpet again :shock:

I can only imagine the damage that guy is doing..

 

[Steve Lombardi]

the guy took back the wand because he need to finish up his flood job. He was cleaning a concrete floor with that wand.

I got the story from Greenie. Some people have no sense.... :roll: Did you at least tell him there where better options to clean up a concrete floor then to ruin a $600 wand?

 

[Mikey P]

That's just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen on this board.


Man oh man.










Well I guess BBGary's boner was a bit more shocking.

 

[John Olson]

Just imagine what that person would do to a green horn! :shock:

OK, Here is my wand. All you guys with 2 or more jet got it made I wish I had some of those the wands. I use a rx-20 for most of my jobs so I been putting up with this wand to edges with. I feel like it is going to break on me if i push too hard. Notice how it has a nice arch to it and I just had to have the handle rewelded. Not too happy how that turn out if I dont win I am going to buy a new handle for it before I cut my self on it. I would love to get a sweet wand just can afford it now.

Thanks

I remember digging through the water truck at "elite" cleaning taking worn down nubs of POS wands out of there before the dunderheads used them on a berber for water extraction and pulled out all the rows.

Hey Lisa....

Well, I broke down and bought another 14" Greenhorn from Steamway this week in Denver Colorado. They had their floor model there during a Barry Costa Water Damage class I was in. Told everyone that it was the best wand I had ever used....so I bought it on the spot while Barry was doing a demonstration on the first day in class. We were in a wand and extractor tool hands on demo the 3rd day and Barry asked "where is that 2 inch wand we had....everyone of course pointed at me. Told them they could have definately used it but it was on the way home to MN.

Also told everyone in the class that I believed in it so much, I bought a second one so my 14 year old daughter would quit stealing mine while we are using two trucks!

I bet James Cooper calls Barry Costa at home tonight to tell him that Joe can get him and the whole class the "same" wand for less.

Steve;

Is that really a ProChem wand ???

What kind of poorly designed vac chamber is that ??

If it is...

ProChem should pay the customer to have it melted down for scrap.

Larry,

That is a prochem quad jet wand that was used on concrete.
The jet vac chamber, jets and the tube have been worn down to scrap.

Here's the wand that we actually use with every cleaning. 11 inch Hydra hoe, NO glides .... ICK!

 

[B&BGaryC]

That's an adorable little girl.

 

[Brian R]

Yea, you need to use her in your ads.

 

[renegade_cowboy]

Thanks guys, she is my oldest daughter(5). She really wants to help me with my business when she gets older, she already wants to go out on jobs for me. That is the wand I use everyday and she wanted to help me win a new one. I do have video of her cleaning our carpets. Shes good.

 

[Larry B]

Now come on Brent, using a little girl to win a contest judged by a women.




Cheater.

 

[renegade_cowboy]

I'll post the video of her cleaning our carpets is I can figure out how.

 

[Chads]

I figured since everbody else is cheating I just put this wand on the truck today as my everyday wand so there. LOL I have to win something on this board. And I dont have that cute kid yet,

I don't care about the manipulation. Let him win. The wand is a pile. A new wand would make him happy and his cute daughter as well. Heck, I feel like sending him a new wand.

And yes, use her in your ads.
