Holed glide for Devastator wand

[SamIam]

It was easier then I thought to change from the slot to the holed.

Who else switched and what do you
prefer?

You are so smart! Did you ever bag groceries?

The air flow on that wand is so much more improved that the drag of the slot glide is too much for my old back to manage over extended periods. Even the holed is a bit taxing, but much improved.

 

[Mark Saiger]

My young guys are using the hole glide.

I'm still using the original short slot glide.

I prefers the slot...I only use the hole glide on CGD and some Berbers....

 

[SamIam]

At 53 I needed this easier.

And what I mean by easier, I didn't damage the old glide taking it off.

Or boil the new one to get it on!

 

[Mark Saiger]

The short slot glide mellows out after a bit of use.

It has quite a bite when first new.

The wand does scream though especially with the slot glide

You know for the 50 plus crowd and every year past that it gets harder not easier,

Pushing any wand is hard. But Toms wand with a slot glide and a 47 blower is probably something you ought to try before naming one a wuss!

 

[hogjowl]

I've used the slot with a 47.
You idiot

I'm pushing a prochem quad with a 56 blower no glide. My shoulder hurts I have carpal tunnel and my elbows ache.

And I'm 53 now.

 

[hogjowl]

Sorry Sam. Steves the idiot. Not you.

 

[SamIam]

Pushed a quad wand no glide for over 10 years Im done with the abuse.

And I'm 53 to stop killing your self you will eventually break down.

Old pussy

Hole, slot, it goes in and out just the same.

You wimp. Go back to the slotted

In my early years, I pushed a prochem quad like that with just a 36blower, and it was stupid. It was before the glides were in existence. You either need to get a glide, or get a mach15 wand. You shoulder and back will thank you. Plus, your carpet will get cleaner, because you'll push the wand slower in the first forward pass.

Don't lie, you know you're throwing it out there before you pull it back to you. That's the only way to use that wand if it locks down on carpet.

 

[BIG WOOD]

I still use that wand sometimes, because, on those commercial floors with some wavy concrete, the 15inch wand has trouble getting a good connection. So that's when I'll bring out the quad

 

[SamIam]

It is a great wand but it will kickurassukitakis on a daily basis.

You don't have to throw it just lower it.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

I'm asking because I obviously don't know and haven't had a chance to use this wand but will the hole glides defeat the purpose of the design?

 

[Jimmy L]

The quad was one of the worst wands out there. At 11 inches wide it was stupid to use let alone not being able to push it.

No. It just makes you have to vacuum.

Which is the real reason thes ^^ goobers like the slot.

Lol... We vacuum

I'm just testing more

 

[steve_64]

Yes I need a better wand. My aches are as much from working for Genny as from cleaning carpet. I did tear my shoulder up in my 30s too.

I don't want to have to vacuum

 

[Bob Pruitt]

I always vacuum but I know I'm not going to get everything out ... especially the deep soils that I would think will take pre-spray, time, agitation and extraction... so would want my wand to remove the stuff the vacuum missed. Thinking hybrid glides...or the wand just becomes a tool to cut in or groom with. IMO
Will know more after Mikey Fest since it will no longer be theory as will use someone's devastator wand there....along with everything else... except the Bently Pro because they woosed out on an honest appraisal at a show where their tool would actually get use on dirty carpet.

If you don't want to have to vacuum, then the Mach15 is the best for you. It has the biggest opening with the glides and it won't kill your shoulder. But keep the prochem on the van with you. It has the best flushing even if it kills your shoulder.

If that makes you feel better, keep using your sissy holed glide.
