Jim Martin Limited Edition Westpak Low Profile Wand

[hogjowl]

my what.....TI wand....it has nothing to do with this....this is strictly westpac wand deal....

But..I will let you know that I just gave up my Ti wand to someone here on the board who is going to get me a 14 inch with hole glide on it when they come out at the end of the month...........and just trade me straight across..........I never use it anyway....well worth it to me.........

I may be totally out of the loop here, but I THINK both of us offered to trade our Ti wands for this auctioned wand, with the winner.

That's certainly what I had in mind.

Straight trade.

I would think that if you work something out with anyone on the board who wants to do that it is up to you....

Good grief ... I was just trying to be polite.

 

[Jim Martin]

Some poly's don't seal well no matter what feels like your wand is running ant at airflow no bite, with the quad or the ti.

It you want more bite from your Ti go with a slotted glide or no glide.

I tried different glides...( the while reason why I have different ones that come with it )..it did not make a difference at all which one I used.....
westpac was still way better....................

hope you didn't hurt yourself.........

 

[hogjowl]

It was a stretch, but I'm flexible.

Asswipe...

 

[Mikey P]

Most hyped auction to date.

 

[dealtimeman]

If it is Jim Martin approved and endorsed then by all means!

 

[Jim Martin]

For years I have been saying how great this wand is...good to see westpac on board...........

 

[Shane Deubell]

Wow, that went up fast!

They might need to do a 2nd one...

 

[CraigT]

These are 4-Jet wands. The winner will have his/her choice of wand. I think I'll throw in some extenders with it as I forgot to mention those. We will have to get the glide in stock and I will work with the winner to work out the details.

Looks like a cmp14 wand

I have 4 Prochem titanium wands and would not use anything else. Easy on the shoulders. The Ti wand with a glide bites into the carpet just fine as long as you have a truck mount with sufficient vacuum. The weight of the wand has no noticeable effect.

 

[Jim Martin]

Vacuum has absolutely no bearing on how that Ti wand sits on the carpet unless it is a extremely high pile or there is no glide on it...big blower or small blower..the glide keeps it elevated and the lack of weight will not allow it to plant itself...because of the weight of the westpac...it will set itself in...not on top.......

The TI wand is a nice wand...light weight is what put it out front until most were seeing that the lack of weight was not the best answer to better recovery.........

 

[ronbeatty]

Jim, I beg to differ. I have been swinging a wand for 39 years with every truck mount made. An extra pound or two on the wand will not make it seal to the carpet any better. The vacuum seal is created by the airflow threw the wand.

 

[Jim Martin]

Correct..but if the wand is gliding the top and it is to light it is not setting and it is hurting the recovery....

some will disagree........but the vast majority have found out different..........

 

[dealtimeman]

Ron, those prochem ti wands are only good for scrap,I tells you. Please don't convince these guys other wise.

 

[SamIam]

Its like anything you gotta try to know, unfortunately the carpets that don't need a PC ti wand I use PC quad wand. I carry both of these on each truck. I figure with $1500.00
spent on 2 wands why drop another 8 to 9 bills to see if I like something?

If one gets stolen or lost it might be a great replacement wand but I'm not replacing to replace.

Some of you guys buy everything just to have it put some of that money in an IRA and plan for retirement.

Says the guy who bought the dwell pro and just got back from a Hawaiian vacation...lol

 

[SamIam]

Hay I got an offer for $2500 for it and my wife says that's a good move!


....

 

[Mikey P]

Stupid move.

I bet your first job would have been more than $400

 

[SamIam]

Well I know one thing I can't replace it for that much! It is heavy !

[SamIam]

Jim what are the differences or improvements of this wand compared to the cmp used to make the greenhorn?

the only wand that I can compare this with is the Ti wand.......I did a bunch of testing for myself on all types of carpets....

 

[Jim Martin]

[Shane T]
