At $200 less than Saphire, with a stainless glide instead of plastic, it seems like a good purchase for a dual slot enclosed tool.

But there are others like it; Rotovac and others. So what have you used and what do you recommend?

And who has something they’d like to unload for a song?

I'll preface by saying I'm not a fan of Mytee products in general
Maybe they've upped their game in recent years, I don't know
But I've always seen them as a "lower tier" or budget brand/knock-off manufacture with a reputation of "less than" quality/durable machines


I have a Sapphire Upl tool I might sell for a reasonable price
Has maybe 50 hours use on it total

I would get the SS Uph Pro.

It has got to be my biggest time/labor saving tool on the truck.

Mine is about 7 years old, good as new.

Feel free to PM me on how you define “reasonable.”

Meanwhile I’ll case out the next liquor store for this weekend’s budget meeting.

I wish you were closer. I'd pay you to haul a few away from this place.

Hey Richard, I’m game.

I may need manly advice on how to convince Herself that I wasn’t having a good time, though.

I, like Mike want a tool with a handle.

Not a dial with continuous flow.

The SS tool offers choice.

Get a ShearDry

I faithfully promise you it will be awesome. The tool is weightless. Its very good at flushing. Dries Über dry.

Price can't be beaten and the replacement vacuum shoes are cheap but last ages in their own right.

Can't go wrong with @Rotovac 's tool.

Grant, how are you heating that water? Also, have you figured out a way to insert chemicals into the water supply line? I thought perhaps a Hydroforce sprayer left back by the machine might serve.

Nailed it.

Buy an HF for chemical injection.

Mount the bottle on the 360i. Use a nice

peiece of sealed wood or plastic to set it down onto when doing upholstery.

Take the gun off the HF. Put a female QD there instead. Now you have an end of line chemical injector.

If you want you can put a male QD on the gun and you can spray your acid rinse on pee spots etc.

I have a 2400w inline heater on my porty. Its HOT. For big jobs I have diesel heat.

Did I mention I love the ShearDry?

You did! I’m guessing that you have 220v there.

I will buy a Hydroforce and gin up a harness to use, or just put inline back near the Ranger. I have been wanting to inject Saigercide or rising agents, but couldn’t.
