I agree with the Pmf. I have learned to balance the pressure with the vac relief to compensate. Still leaves deep vac marks on microfibre or velour. I usually bring 3-3 upholstery tools in. Different sizes and capabilities. They're small, easy to carry.You are right Ron, it's just that most of the time I am not willing to bring in a bunch of different tools. Though I always have a bunch of upholstery tools in the van. So usually one tries to make the most with the tool you find most convenient and that does the job well. And you compensate for it's shortcomings. How else would you explain people using that wrist breaker called HydroKinetic
Ron, I agree that the PMF (used it as my main tool for ages) is the best detail tool, it just that the delivery of water is uneven compared to the other tools and it does leave more marks on fabric with nap direction.
Richard, the trigger on the SS tool is as cheap as they come, including the little plastic cap that comes off and they didn't even bother to glue it on. Still a great tool. Cheap bus-turds, for that price they could have sprung for something a little better that does not bend and does not have an exposed sharp end.
Especially the little 3.5 inch.I admire your devotion. I'll work on mine.
The PMF also works best when you need to deal with buttons that you don't want to wet, yet you can get very close and under without pulling the button, and all around detail.
If you use full vac you can lift the fiber off the foam cushioning while doing your wet and dry passes, which helps with very fast drying. Definitely the best detail tool. Unless you're an Aussie
We carry both the Sapphire and the Prochem upholstery tool in our buckhorn totes. I still love the design of the Prochem, it's just heavy. It excels on olefins and flushes well. Extremely hot if you open up the bypass job.That's the problem with upholstery tools, everybody has their freaking damn favorite
The PC tool imho is the best combo tool if you're an upholstery cleaner and a construction worker.
Does the HK clog with hair or fiber like the SS tool and require it to be dismantled to unplug?
Would like a side by side video comparing the two and telling of their faults honestly without bias.
