Could make a great stair detailer.

If worthless I'll send it to Ladwig along with my Dang hard surface wand.

I had several of those in my upholstery arsenal back when upholstery cleaning was all I did.

Not a bad tool for light duty, I liked the light weight. They are good for someone that's going to give them heavy use. The glue on the head eventually loosens up and it swivels. :eekk: The can't take a lot of back and forth scrubbing and if you continue to do so will crack. The valve with super hot water corrodes and is just easier to replace than repair.

Despite those negatives it really is a value to have for the infrequent upholstery cleaner.

not great on stairs as the lint builds up around the internal jet. I have several of the stainless ones and love them. Best tool ever on vertical fabric blinds. will not overspray.

Yes, the tool is available with a brass valve (do not use aluminum).

We distribute for both Tony and Tom Conway.

Without your Ken glide, your Prochem Ti would have been unusable.

EZ . . . well they tried.

I always got the aluminium. But after a lot of use I tossed the tool and bought another. A better value than replace piece by piece.

Brass is just going to make it a much more expensive tool. You might as well purchase the PMF detailer then. It will last 20x longer.

That tool works best with a portable. At least thats what I used it with. :errf:

They sell some SS glides that just clip on to the vac slot.
Hated the 500 psi valve but runs better using that needle valve from dultmeier.
$30

That clear head has been available for 20 years.

People think that sapphire tool is all of that. Remember how special they thought it was to come out with a "Limited edition" clear head? HahAhaha!

I use a SS upholster tool, Mellon Head.

I have one of those dinky hide a hose things but never use it.

It's restricted airflow and clogs waiting to happen.
