There comes a time when you are just hurting too damned much pushing & pulling the glided wand, the awkward rotary such as the Rx in my case.
I just cant do the daily routine of pushing & pulling with the wand. The RX is so friggin awkward.
The show of tools is great with the customer.
The Zipper in residentail is awkward also, sure yeah, we can adapt. The new handle would put me back to where I was.
Screw it, the walk behind is less fatigue on my body, it takes longer and it's by no means 35% faster in residential. Yeah I know, kinda like the airpath 10 minute dry times - Blow me!
I'm liking it cuz I have to so I'll make it work and charge more. It's faster than the RX and just as good as my greenhorn but the wand has taken it's toll.
Did a repair after I zipper cleaned a dog urine soaked nasty. The knee test was dry, great!
Did the repair of the first room after the cleaning. My knees were soaked. The customer was happy cuz she felt no moisture with bare feet but my knees were soaked?
The sight tube is a groovy thing on the zipper & if you feel a need again like when you first started put it back on your wand at the connection point.
The zipper has not negated my airpaths as I hoped it would even though a quick knee test is dry but it's much easier than my greenhorn wand.
Last year I refused to take the RX upstairs, the zipper is pretty easy to carry even for my old bastard helper of 60. Once I listened to Erik & put the hole
glide up front & got rid of the slot we have been banging them out with it's really nice to have a piece of equipment not made in china or mexico but what the hell do I know, I'm a bigot and not a global citizen co#kS*ck$r
