Huh?

The tufts are 1/8th, this mock up is a $3540 cheaper way to figure out if a wand has what it takes to do the job.


In most situations the tufts have better recovery than a spinner, a carpet glide or a shitty HS tool.


The upcoming Dev wand may do a bit better.

Yes, but don’t short change yourself.. That wand is the most sold (given away) wand in the industry.. That has to amount for something..

Build it and they will sell! How soon, idk.. Selling a glide that costs the same as the POS wand is the kicker.. :lol:

I used the glidless AW29 for years till
I reluctantly accepted Lisa's offer to try a pimped out Greenhorn which
I loved from the 1st second I used it.
I laughed at those that didn't have one!

I use mine if I only need a little more hose to get started. Shove 12 ft of 1.5 into the 2 and get started, or tight spaces. Although I used it yesterday when my truck was down, and my backup truck was down when I put a new pump on and got to busy to set everything back up. Grabbed a prochem porty and the AW and 360. As soon as I set it up I remembered I won the monsoon raffle last year and had a monsoon. Thankfully it was just my moms carpet in her new empty house. 3 plus hours for a 45 minute job with the truck.

I’m just saying that glide without the tufts is probably going to recover a lot better. Just have to be careful not to scratch a floor

I took my Promaster into the dealer today for repairs. In the Dodge showroom they had this C7 Grand Sport Corvette sitting there. Only 20k miles. What a beauty. They also had a Jeep Gladiator Mojave there. I’m happy I got my Tundra. The family would have been really cramped in a Jeep.

I will try to get one of my local distributors to order some. He is selling westpaks version of the aw29. Is there any difference between that and cmp's model?

It's a cheap ass wand. The glide is more valuable than the wand. They were probably suprised they were made for the low end.

I got the pos off of amazon.

Not only has it been used based on the tack strip damage but the machining looks like it was done by a chipmunk.
