Prefered spinner tool for T&G

[Lee Stockwell]

Then let's see a spinner and a tile wand (a good tile wand) side by side at the MF.

We see it all the time Matt. Lots of experience with various Geckos too.

Very green, some seem to be.

I wouldn't be without my tile spinner. Had my Sx12 for 11 years now. Still going strong.

 

[BIG WOOD]

No they're not.


You're just too new to know.

I'm not too new. I've been in this business for 15 years.

With that aside

I've used a P.O.S. Mytee spinner that dixie steamway in Marty's beautiful inbred state screwed me on, and with my tight budget at the time '06 I thought most of the spinners were all the same after that, so I bought a tile wand, and used it since then.

But, you've got me thinking about the spinner again, so I'm debating about the 15" or the 12" that you suggested. Whichever has the lowest design and best extraction, I'll be getting very soon

12" Turbo Hybrid. Low design for getting under most toe kicks and around toilets usually. For residential.

Funny how they pretty much disappeared

I use a spinner tool, a grout brush, and if needed, a cobra hand tool. The spinner is great for large open rooms.

Seemed like a great deal and I've been booking a fair amount of tile lately so I finally pulled the trigger on a spinner.

Last tile job with my Gecko tile wand today and I about chucked it in the lake. Not sorry to see it go. Can't wait to get the Turbo Hybrid.

The Cobra is a turd unfortunately
Too many cleaners, like Matt think they can get buy with just a tile wand. A big surprise is awaiting them.

Turbo hybrid is better than Sx. IMO The tool is just built better. Performance might be close to the same. But the sx12 just feels like 2 pressure washing guns screwed on to a 1.5 wand. The SX12 will dry a bit better. But it is barely noticeable. The 15 inch version of both aren't that great. They are just not very maneuverable.
The turbo hybrids are "throw in back of the truck" tough.
Honestly it is just silly to not have one on the truck. Hard surface wands are great. But magic happens under a spinner.
Personally I believe that any real professional should have at least 4 turbo hybrids on the truck at all times. I'm looking at you Saiger . No 17 inch turbo hybrid= hack.

You might have a couple extra (or 4) spinner tools....

But my extra Zpinner tool is an SS Zipper Super Spinner!

That get's used .......(back at ya )
