Dangnabit..

New Cal Tools swivel wand will only rotate a 1/4 inch now.
Bearings seized up. Head has lots of play.

The inner sleeve of the swivel is welded to the head so no practical fix.


and of course, typical of knock off companies, he wont respond because my review was not positive. Rather, I was acuused of putting sand in the races....

Looks like the boys will be getting my Devastator..

Maybe bearings is not the answer..

 

[Jimmy L]

See no need for a swivel

 

[Mikey P]

Maybe bearings is not the answer..

The problem is too many undersized steel bearings in aluminum races. They're stacking up and jamming.

Not sure who is the bigger idiot, Tony or his RnD guy, Rob.

My guys will quit without one.

Prima Donnas

yep,

they've always had the best of the best in equipment.

I was able to record RA video this time, so I can upload it when it goes missing again when things start to fail......mmmmm oh shoot looks like I need to upload it already

 

[Cleanworks]

yep,

they've always had the best of the best in equipment.

Can I come and work for you?

 

[Mikey P]

Your old ass and that Kenadian sense of humor think you'd do well hanging with millennials do ya, eh?

Yeah, maybe not. They'd be on there cell phones anyway.

Tony for giving you one. Paint peeling non-swivel POS.

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah, maybe not. They'd be on there cell phones anyway.

Not my guys..

 

[Cleanworks]

That's good to hear.

Toni posted a picture Larry Cobb and specting one of his junk swivels today at the Vegas show
I look forward to see if Larry's exhaustive scientific over the top testing will show what a t*** that thing is

Really? Larry's specialists have had no problems with them.

if i were building that wand...
i would use cylindrical roller bearings
instead of ball bearings....

it would distribute the load
over a wider area.....

ya i'd press steel races in as well...

jus sayin!

 

[hogjowl]

It's dadnabit or dagnabit

Stop trying to talk like us

Nylon sleeves that are adjustable for tension.

Too much heat moisture and chems around for bearings.

Puleeze....Cat pumps, rotary extractors, and such ring a bell?

 

[steve_64]

Puleeze....Cat pumps, rotary extractors, and such ring a bell?

But they get greased and oiled. For a simple maintenance free swivel I believe a nylon sleeves would work best.

I thought it was your motorcycle that is in heat.

you can't have 2 different metals working against each other and think for a second that you are not going to have any problems.....he is putting a hardened steel ball bearing against a much softer material.. ...and using the tube and the swivel for a race...so the ball bearing is going to start to pit the softer metal and then it is going to bind up...if you look at your typical bearings..they are in case in an outer and inner race made of the same type material so they do not work against each other....people have been warned..so they get what they get..Rob did his normal 20-minute field test evaluation and is once again going to sell them..I give it less than 3 to 6 months and the complaints are going to start pouring in again just like all the other times.....take it for what it is.......

#1 had no bearings in the races, eventually the aluminum failed and the head separated (fell off)
#2 is still alive but crusty and jiggly, anodizing is crap as is the powdercoat. Valves and handles wont stay put. Bearing design

#3 locked up in two weeks.


Tony should stick to AW29 knock offs.

I think i have great swivel idea...revolutionary!..Not likely.. but a good idea at least for the zipper

 

[ronbeatty]

Uhhh whuts she look like?

Do you REALLY want to know????

 

[Nomad74]

Can I come and work for you?

I'm hiring. But I don't want to talk about trailer park boys all day.
