Am I correct in thinking there is a market for an all metal 4" uph-detail tool with a GreenGlide, full spray shield and ten ft internal whip hose?

[Mikey P]

I think so...

 

[hogjowl]

Yes
But don’t let it go to your head

I wasn't really asking, I know what smart cleaners want, and need.


and you NEED a Chosen Wand.

 

[sassyotto]

not continuous flow tho

 

[hogjowl]

Who said anything about continuous flow?

 

[Cleanworks]

Maybe for cubicle dividers or church pews.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Make the 1 1/2inch hose available in an 18-20’ model, stainless braided internal solution hose, and I’ll buy one…
Very similar to the SS, better needle valve though, and make sure the vinyl/velcro enclosure actually works….

 

[hogjowl]

No, it needs to be hand held so risers can be conveniently done

 

[Mikey P]

yeah, no way

Custom Hide@Hose lengths are do-able

Is a window important to you?

 

[MarkieMark]

The sapphire tool is so good. What would this benefit over the sapphire upholstery tool...

Until I used the SSUPH, I didn’t realize how much it matters…

Sturdier
The ability to mist/spray fabric
Teflon Glide vs hard plastic
Hopefully le$$
No flow valve to mess with

Window is nice but not necessary IMO

 

[BIG WOOD]

Internal jet. You know enough people who can design one with a glide.

NO thanks, we already have the SS UPH Pro and the RV Shear Dry.

 

[hogjowl]

Nope

The window comes in handy when your valve isn't working right or the jets are plugged. It let's you see the flow instead of guessing.

 

[hogjowl]

Salt is good for a sticking valve I hear.

 

[Mikey P]

The one and only reason for a window, once the novelty is over, is to determine if you need 4 or 20
swipes to get a dark colored micro-suede rinsed thoroughly.

 

[hogjowl]

The only “window” that’s ever worked for me is the clear tube on the RV.

 

[BIG WOOD]

NO thanks, we already have the SS UPH Pro and the RV Shear Dry.

I’m not fond of either of those designs because they’re terrible at edging compared to the pmf design.

It is good for a sticky heart valve.
I use softened water that probably has salt in it and it's better for the whole system imo.
So yes you are right.

Will you be including a bypass system like the original PC Upholstery Tool?

Otherwise, what will you do about pressure adjustment and flow to keep a reasonable amount of heat in contact with the fabric?

Before the Upholstery Pro came out, my favorite tool was the PC tool with a glide.

The lack of wetting control could be compensated by the operator keeping it for synthetics and trashed naturals, and otherwise relying on VLM systems for hyper-sensitive fabrics.

It might be a nice detail tool for areas that the conventional low moisture tools don't easily reach.

[Jim Pemberton]

bypass included...

So you're pretty much going to make the same style tool as the PC tool?

The only other thing to consider might be this:

The PC tool and Upholstery Pro had a swivel on the internal solution line by use two 1/8 quick connects. If you use a swivel vacuum cuff, this gives the tool a 360 swivel, which is nice when doing detailed areas.

The downside (other than cost) is that if the quick connects aren't lubricated, they can seize up and cause the longer solution hose that runs the length of the vacuum hose to twist and rupture.

I think this tool is a great idea for you to consider.

The PC tool ended up being used for stairs as well, due to its flexibility

The difference being there would be a spray shield with some form of vacuum relief to deal with microfiber backsplash which we used to deal with by drilling holes into the back of the head of the PC

And the Glide may provide protection for the spray shield as well

And they welded head will be lighter weight and less expensive to make..

Care to speculate why some don't?
