Hit me up and you too can have my ergonomic wand valve.

[Royal Man]

Just trying to gage some interest in a new product I'm developing. ( You know I have been talking about this for years.)
It's called wand-eeze. It's a conversion for 2" wands that I designed out of necessity several years ago because of my FORMER chronic arm issues and having trigger finger on most of my fingers.
It changes your trigger hand into a more natural " saw the wood" motion. That allows you to clean standing upright with longer strokes and more effortless cleaning.
it will help those that want to clean easier and wa...nt a little relief on your entire body including: your arms, shoulders and fingers. Even if you don't have physical issues now it may help so you and your staff don't develop them later from repetitive motion. This is the only truly ergonomic wand valve on the market. It also has several other proprietary features that that you will enjoy. Estimated price should be around $150. You can easily retrofit it onto your favorite 2" wand. Please pm me with your contact info. If I get enough interest ill call my manufacturer and get out a run this winter and you will be at the top of the list to receive one. - Thanks Dave Yoakum

Dave I'd like to try one. Put me on the list for the valve.

 

[hogjowl]

Ask him for two and send the other one to Boyle.

Back when I was still cleaning I made this with a pressure washing gun handle. It made the last 2 years bearable with the wrist and arm problems I have. I still use it today in the rug shop.

 

[dealtimeman]

If it will fit the prochem ti I want to try it.

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

I have a Ti wand and will try one .

I'm guessing it's not a valve but something like David showed that is more ergonomic like the "Ergonomic Shovel" that's uncomfortable to most people "kind of like a wheel chair" and won't sell to the masses.

Oh I'd love one.....

Are you asking for true beta testers ... Or is this a Brokum pay to play proposition

It's a gunvalve system. But, Not like the one shown by Gargan Which is not ergonomic. His still makes you tilt you wrist downwardwhich leads to an un-natural and a shorter stroke. ( Tilt your own wrist downward ( Fingers down and curled up ) and see how it locks up the tendons in your arm and limits motion This is one of the major flaws with wand design.)

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Seem more like you never had a wand sized correctly to your stature Dave?

Imagine if they only made size 10 shoes.

They don't. Wands need to be tried on and sized as well.

 

[FB7777]

Get one of these , some duct tape and a couple tie straps and you've got yourself a Brokum Wand ease

You'll even have enough money left over to hire a helper so when you're 55 you aren't running a scrub wand every day for the rest of your crippled existence

 

[Doug Cox]

So I was right on the mark?

 

[dgardner]

Dave - why don't you post a pic of your new product? Might help folks to decide if they want one.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Would it help if I prepay you the $150.00?

Dave, I hate to break the news to you, but simply installing a handle that solves " tilting your wrist downward" solves one assumed problem but does nothing about repetitive motion and your " shortened wand stroke" due to the angle of wrist is ridiculous.

If you get tired, switch sides while wanding, or get a zipper, or better yet a rotary jet extractor

There is nothing " ergonomic " about wand cleaning , it is a repetitive motion for gawds sake

The best way to prevent repetitive motion injury is to grow your business

 

[Desk Jockey]

I agree getting off the wand would be the goal. An R.E. is also a great investment too.

 

[dgardner]

Someone still has to run the wand. If it can be made less tiring and reduce injury I'm all for it. C'mon Dave, show us a video that demonstrates how your mod helps! Few people want to buy sight unseen.

Yes Dave, it will make cleaning less tiring, reduce injury and even more productive with longer wand strokes that you can perform while standing straight up. Pics and videos to follow after the new year.

 

[Desk Jockey]

PM me your address and I'll cut you a check.

If it does work out to make the first run we can work something out....your first born?

 

[Able 1]

I'm interested! I'll buy it if it works for me, if not I'll ship it back..

Thanks, for making an effort to make my job easier! This is how innovation works!

 

[Desk Jockey]

if not I'll ship it back..

 

[Ron Werner]

I made this one up years ago to solve my wrist issues.
A chiropractor helped my wrist as well. Been showing this pic around and asking if someone could make something like it to attach to any wand

 

[Royal Man]

From these crazy pics of mods to make wanding better it's obvious you guys are in dire need of a better solution. I'lll call my manufacturer after the holidays and get the ball rolling.

Tell Earl and the boys I said hello...

That is the coolest machine shop! I used to have a tiny old lathe that was driven by a leather belt - the old shops had a single power source that drove everything via shafts and belts rather than each machine having it's own motor like today. Neat.

Reminded me of a naval machine shop aboard ship.

Just how OLD are you Dan?

 

[dgardner]

Not THAT old - the lathe I had was an antique. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.... Recently turned 56 actually.

 

[dealtimeman]

You are old but not ancient class yet.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Recently turned 56 actually.

56!

Damn you're nearly a fossil!

I'll be 57 next month.
