Clearly??

Not too clear to me.
Torrey seems like a straight shooter as far as I can tell.


From what I've gleaned , Shane and Torry have written each other "love letters" in the past on another boRed .

Shane comes off as "just what, who and how he is" and nothing more .
(like you in that regard)
Not too sure about our new friend Torry though


i can tell you about the Bentree wand, Torry.
It's a very good to excellent cleaning wand at LOW pressure (300psi and under)
It's stinks above that cause it sprays/splashes all over it's self and streaks and/or jet distorts many cut piles at TM pressures



..L.T.A.

Did you know Kemp Waterfall regularly cleans at 1500 PSI with his Aerotech?

I have two PC titaniums.
Great wand. Only problem is the tube is so thin that the area where they welded the valve holder develops cracks. And then you have to find a special bracket which is annoying for a wand that expensive.

If they could find a way to strengthen that weak area, it will be perfect.

Just one has it, the other one does not get used as much.
It is about 5-6 years old (if memory serves me right).

It is a great wand, though not as durable as my legendary Hydra Hoe.

I just got the Bentley XL swivel head wand yesterday and its pretty cool. I got the modified one from Cobb and it works like a wand should. The swivel feature is pretty cool and useful.

I think a wand comes down to personal preference..

it was an issue at the manufacturer. The trigger didn't hit flush on the tube causing stress tears at the weld from people gripping the trigger excessively tight. Ofer I can get them fixed for the cost of shipping. PMF has now gone to a valve hangar to eliminate the stress point. Ill post pics but if anyone has one and the distributor doesn't know how or who to call call me.

John,

Is the titanium tube thinner on the newer wands than it used to be? I've seen a lot of ti's but have never seen that issue. But most of the ti wands I see are older.

Take care,
Lisa

I've had to tell several customers to send their Ti wand back for that very reason.

Not excessive failures,

but unacceptable at that price point

Not sure but the issue on these is how far from the tube the trigger was. Some how they changed the drawings or something and there was a 1" or so gap between the handle and the tube those with a strong grip on the trigger caused the TI to rip at the weld. I am not sure just what all changed but these TI's just came in with the bracket instead of the welded on holder.
