Is a Swivel Stair Tool really a game changer?

For years my company has always used our butler stair tools, when its all you've ever known they seem to work fine and being included in the purchase of a new cleaning van we have just always went with what we got instead of buying additional tools. Recently since being pulled from a van to manage the carpet division I have seen many big names in the field use the PMF swivel stair tool and I would love some opinions of guys who use them daily before pulling the trigger and purchasing 5 for all of my guys.

I have it and use it when I need to in tighter areas.. I don’t use the swivel aspect of it.. I have a few stair tools I’ve been through.. anything is better than an upholstery tool on stairs unless wood on the sides..

2 jet
Glided

I own one and I ruined it by changing it to a Mark Saiger two jet. I should have left it stock. It’s better than using a straight neck tool on risers but not by much. I don’t know much about Butlers stair wand but it can’t be any worse than what we have available to us now. I’d probably keep using them.

I use the PMF swivel single jet tool. It cleans well and the swivel is helpful getting into tight areas, especially when there is a handrail on one side. Doesn't really over spray much, I don't use a glide as I like the way it gets close to the bottom of the riser. I have many stair tools but this is my favorite. Also the way the single jet is placed, it hits the bullnose squarely.

I have the PMF fixed and swivel. They are both good wands. My swivel is a Mark Saiger twin jet. The swivel saves me time and energy. With the twin jet I can maneuver it to hit all the bull nose without over wetting.
