New Clear Top Upholstery Tool

[Larry Cobb]

At least one manufacturer knows how to design a clear top on their Upholstery Tool . . .
22 Jets and Dual Vac Slots . . . Comfort Grip

 

[FredC]

When will you be putting one up for raffle?

 

[FredC]

and have you figured what the Cobb version will need to fix to make it a "top cleaning tool" according to your "testing"

 

[Mikey P]

No trigger.
The designer of the Cutie must have dreamed that up.

Dry Strokes will require shutting off the valve...lol

And a potentially patient infringing spray bar?

 

[FredC]

Maybe Larry's version has a trigger?

 

[Mikey P]

I wonder if Studebaker saw the irish sqian coming?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Are there plans to make a version where the valve is not in the way?

I like the design other than the position of the valve.

I saved Larry some trouble and prepared the image for his site.

For what its worth,
The trigger on my SS uph tool stays locked on, and i always wished I could have a parker flow valve somewhere OTHER than the fookin END of the tool.

 

[Jim Martin]

I set my needle valve to what I want it...locked it...and I have never touched it since I bought it...
as far as I am concerned all it does is save me from going out to the van and adjusting the PSI so I don't blow out the valve on the UPH tool...

 

[Mikey P]

So you

So you dont dry stroke?

 

[Desk Jockey]

At the very least the valve could have been put on the side like the Prochem tool. Still out of the way and with in reach if you're someone that likes to mess with the flow.

As it is, it looks like a toy for porty users, or for those that rarely clean upholstery.

Someone that doesn't know the issues of putting a valve in the way of processing.

I look forward to version 2.

Nope, I hack out upholstery as fast as I can, even with the greatest uph tool of all time, its painfully slow enough, and is an ad-on I wish I never offered.

Damnit, I just want to clean carpet (Tiles ok)

 

[Mikey P]

And you are the moderator of a cleaning forum?


Jebus...


I hope you know your fabrics...

Mikey I dont know SHIT.

If I have my way, Ill never set foot in another house, and keep doing 10k+ commercial jobs nearly every week.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Commercial upholstery is almost error proof...almost. You can seriously train anyone to clean commercial upholstery within minutes because the fabric is generally more durable and color stable.

They will still need an attention for detail and a working knowledge of spotting fabrics but much less concern than cleaning special care fabrics in a home.

Nothing wrong with that if you can get it.

I thought most guys learned not to do that when they were 13.

[dealtimeman]

As most new tools I want to try one before just saying it doesn't work, so I think I will order one of these new cobb upholstery tools as I can't find one elsewhere, and try it my self.

Totally agree.
Get the freaking valve out of the way. I can already count all the snapped fibers. Who's the doof who gives these guys advise?
And do get a trigger. Some of us do not like working with continuous flow.
I'll be happy to try the tool and the RV one too.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I never said it won't work. It looks like a good tool....some dumbass just stuck a valve in a bad spot.

Seriously it looks good but that is a flaw I can see in design.

Will it get in the way all the time? It might.

If you don't clean that much upholstery maybe it won't frustrate you but if you clean a lot of upholstery you likely get tired of the nuisance of dealing with it.


I'd shoot the fool that positioned that valve.

You're the first person I thought of when I saw the picture. You're always complaining (rightly so) that designers don't get enough input from cleaners when designing tools. This is a definitely a "toe stub".

"Build and learn!"

 

[steve_64]

i like the looks of the tool but prefer my trigger on the side. i need a trigger!

i wish i could find a good upholstery tool.

Richard;

How are your orders for Clear SS tools coming ?

Oh that's right . . . they refuse to give cleaners the design everybody wants . . .

 

[FredC]

Larry,

How much is a replacement top for that tool?

How old is the oldest one in daily use in the field?

I have no orders? I never bought into the clear head craze.

I don't own any or care to at this point. The standard blue tool works fine for us.

 

[ruff]

That's not good enough Desk Dude.
I second Larry.
Larry:1, Desk Macho: 0

 

[Desk Jockey]

I have no dog in the "clear head" fight.

When he wants to argue on the position of the stoopit valve I have my opinion on it.

Just direct me to the fooo that designed it.

 

[ruff]

Good try........

But unfortunately, no cigar
