Are any of you using inch and a half wands anymore?

[hogjowl]

I am interested in seeing how many of you use just 2 inch wands and how many still see the need for inch and a half tubed wands.

 

[floorguy]

ifn you classify a stair tool under that, then i do...

i took a pmf 802 and cut it down

 

[Desk Jockey]

1.5 in 70's and 80's, by the 90's we had moved on to the 2-inch wands.

 

[Dolly Llama]

I couldn't vote "accurately"
cause our back up wand is 1.5".
we've only used it a couple/three times in the last several years


..L.T.A.

I can't help what I was born with...oh wait a minute.

I can't remember if we ever used 1 1/2 wands, maybe in the early portable days... but I do have one in my truck as a back up to my Ti wand.

 

[Doug Cox]

Most of the time I use a 1 1/2 wand, but I also carry a 2 inch wand also. At my advanced age I just like the smaller wand.

 

[Ken Snow]

we have some 2" wands but most of our people still prefer 1" & 1/2

[Curtis Pennington]

all 2" on TM's.... prtys we use all 1.5

 

[daniel@procarpet]

1.75

 

[Ryan]

1.75" I went ahead and voted 2"

 

[John Buxton]

I'd like to go to 2" but the ol butler wand is still working for me after 18 years. If anyone wants to take it, and a truck water softener on trade I may bite.

 

[Art Kelley]

Grinding out production I use the Ti wand on most jobs, but once or twice a day I find it more convenient to use the 1 1/2" wand with a 25' whip in an upstairs room or a busy room with lots of breakables around and tons of furniture in the way. It's also easier to use that floor wand when I'm hacking out stairs as opposed to the larger Ti wand.

WHAT??

 

[Erik]

ALL OUR WANDS ARE 1", MUCH EASIER TO DEAL WITH.

 

[Mikey P]

Cobb's 1.75

 

[hogjowl]

That male QD looks like it came over on the Pemberton ship.

 

[rhino1]

Used to use only the monster Greenhorn, the drying times were great but damn that thing was heavy. Switched back to the 1.5 to save my shoulders and back. I sold it to a friend for $350 who does mostly commercial and he tells me every time I talk to him how much easier I made his job.

Still looking for a better 2" wand, the EVO was not the answer for sure.

 

[Mikey P]

Marty must be a pro at buffing his males

 

[Joe Bristor]

break this survey into two separate surveys if you want to get to the heart of the matter... OOs vs multi-truck
You'll get vastly different results which will apply to most areas related to performance.
Company expense vs tech friendliness.
Who's paying the bills .. the OO or the budget conscious manager?

 

[hogjowl]

Stay out of my thread, doofus!

 

[Joe Bristor]

Sorry.

 

[hogjowl]

It's my thread, and I get to make the rules. shiteatinggrin

[Ron Werner]

Only time I use a 1.5" wand is when working with a porty

Very happy with my Greenhorn

 

[Shorty]

Moved up to 2" wands in the EARLY EIGHTIES.

Only 1.5" I have is my stair wand.

I am thinking about another 1.5", either an Evolution, or the new Sapphire to work with my new porty; to be. :wink:

At my youthful age, I still have no problem swinging the slow speed CMX-20 or a 2" SS wand around when hooked up to my vintage liquid ring vac; (which incidentally, runs at about 60 Db's quieter than a V ).

Ooroo,

:roll:

 

[Eric Valentine]

I have 4 tools that are 1.5": My backup wand, stair tool, upholstery tool, and a Mytee spinner. I was halfway through a small 3 room carpet job today, and the TM's throttle came un-locked. The damned thing was IDLING and still recovered more with a glided bentley wand than a 1.5" aw-29 glided wand could hooked up at full throttle!
