Sapphire enters the mini scrubber market..

[Desk Jockey]

oh geeze...too cheap to buy the 20vt eh???
My 18vt DeWalts feel like bricks compared to my 20vt Li-Ion

We talked about it but I think after I bought the first one that wanted it. I thought the 20v was heavier???

Yes I be cheap! But in my defense once I unbox them I never them again.

I have the Dewalt 36V recip. saw. That thing is a beast but it is very heavy.

.

my 18vt hammer drill as well as my 18vt compact are both heavier than my 20vt LiIon compact hammer drill

tool's about the same weight, the battery is much lighter and smaller
(Even the 4ah battery)

..L.T.A.

Sure where were you last year?

Remind me to check with you before I make the next tool purchase.

I got a nice call back from Brian Thompson in regards to my inquiry. Extra/replacement battery packs list for $51.73, not bad IMO.

The scrubber with the hand piece weighs about 2 pounds (the part you hold in your hand, not including battery, which goes on your belt). Even with the long handle he says its under 3 pounds. This puts it at about half the weight of a Cyclo.

He also found a local distributor that has one in stock in case I wanted to run down and buy one. How helpful!

It does seem like a worthwhile tool to own to me.

I have a Cyclo and they are heavy and you feel the torque when using it. It does a nice job on steps but you feel like you're working mainly because it is so heavy and from controlling the torque of the unit.

I have one being sent to me now..

One of my guys likes the HotRod on stairs...I suspect he'll really love this

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'd like to see the videos of you guys using it.

I have a Cyclo and they are heavy and have a lot of torque.

they also look heavy duty/industrial that would last a contractor many many years
the new SS tool might last too...donno...but it does look a bit "homeowner/toyish" for a $500 tool
Hope there's a robust tool under that plastic skin.....

..L.T.A.

Exactly my thoughts....

It is built to last a long time and if the weight and torque bother you... then it will last forever collecting dust.

The SS does look lighter duty but then as long as it does what they say it does and is easier to operate then maybe its the better choice. Our Cyclo gets little use, they will do what ever they can not to use it just because it will wear you out if you have a lot of steps to do.

The Cyclo is basically all metal. I know of car detailers that have been using theirs for 20 years.

You pay a price for light weight.

I bet he has arms like Shorty!

I can't agree with you on this one Richard.

Delia prefers to use the Cyclo because of it's light weight and there is virtually no torque when you start it, & even less when using it.

She's uses it mainly on upholstery.

I feel that it's only downside is that it's a noisier, (rattly) machine.

Maybe she has stronger wrists' than you.

I can only compare it with the Makita which is quite heavy & does have a kick when you start it, but is a lot quieter.

 

[Shorty]

HEY !!!! , I just read this, I don't have big arms.

Stomach muscles, yes, but just a bit below average for my arms.

Actually what muscle I have left, now hangs out the back.

Hey now!

I don't its all that noisy. I mean you can hear the motor but its not as bad as the angle grinder noise.

I've seen the arms!

Its considered proper etiquette here to not promote your product in another company's thread unless your name is Larry Cobb.

 

[Nathan544]

Art, which Ron Toney tool you got? The Scorpion or the double vac, push/pull extractor? Is it against the MB rules to ask if you'll sell it (cheap, since you hate it, lol) to a fellow Michigander?

 

[Mikey P]

Hey Nathan

Good to see you here.
