There's a 2 inch stair tool in the middle of all the wands. I would sell all of these. Some dont have valves.
In the other picture the stair tool on the right is by far my favorite.
I see the upholstery tool has the valve on the bottom.
I would sell any of them but the stair tool on the right.
They all made me hurt.
The 2 jet wand pictured by itself is my daily wand now. It flushes goo gone just fine.

I hope Pemberton will interpret that for me.
Lets see if this helps..




I’ve got four different stair and upholstery wands, but I keep going back to the same one I like best.


The worst one I bought was the Butler stair tool. It cost a lot and was way too big and heavy. Then I tried a small PMF tool. It stands straight up and down, but the head is too tiny and it doesn’t have side covers, so it sprays water all over. I still keep it in the van and use it sometimes on short carpets in RVs and tight spots.


Next is another small PMF tool made for stairs, seats, and cars. It’s got a clear plastic head, an inside jet, and a valve that always lets water flow. It works great for car cleaning, but I don’t really do that anymore. It’s too small and weak for dirty stairs.


Then I got the Prochem stainless tool for seats. I got it for free with Legend rewards. I made a small change to it so the water keeps flowing at the head. I liked it so much I got a second one and did the same thing. I don’t use my old Steamgenie 3" tool anymore (had it 43 years!). It’s good for seats but not for stairs – I kept hitting my knuckles.


Everyone kept talking about the Sapphire Scientific plastic tool, so I used my Legend rewards to get one. I added a metal swivel to the hose so the valve lays flat when I wrap the Velcro around it. But to be honest, I don’t like it much. It’s hard on my wrist and hard to use in small spaces. I used it four times but never on stairs.


I’m giving it to a buddy in Sacramento in trade for his old stair tools and worn-out wands. He’s happy to take it. I plan to drive over next month and grab the last five Dri-Eaz AirPods he saved for me last year.


So yeah, I’ve tried a lot of tools. Some I keep. Some I give away, like the Butler one. I’m not stuck in my ways. If I think something might work better, I’ll try it. If it doesn’t, I either fix it, save it for later, or give it to someone who needs it.

Get Dwain to a Mikey's Fest to try out a glided wand..............:lol:

Ol' coot!


BTW did your rx20 parts come in?
The major problem with switching my process after 48years is it's what i do to set myself apart from everyone else. Which was advertising 101 iicrc carpet cleaning class . What makes you stand out from a crowd?? With me it's the fact that i first clean n dry with a rotary then rinse n dry. With a drag wand. Now you can take one of my customers and clean there carpet, but even if you did clean then rinse they would find it hard to believe. Because with me it's 2 completely separate processes with 2 completely different wands. Its easy for them to see the difference ( even if there isn't any). Ive had customers from time to time get their panties in a knot and get another cleaner because i didn't get back to um in time or whatever. When i get um back the next time i here the same story they showed up in a big impressive truck BUT....... so changing my process probably will never happen unless something really industry changing happens
