Best new toy I've bought in a long time.

[Mikey P]

the PMF edge tool with a MB designed Delrin glide.


The glide makes it able to move back and forth and baseboard/paint friendly.


Just watch..

Nice! I believe I would run that tool slightly turned sideways to cut a little wider path. My wand won't clean that close to a baseboard.

There is a definite angle it needs to be run at due to the angle of the glide. It wont really clean more than half an inch unless you also cut it to the side but then it doesn't move smoothly.



I'll get the price soon.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Kick ass tool, thanks, Mike!

I got the short version x3 but to do this standing up? Yeah!!!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Gotta have that!

 

[John Olson]

I'll check my current price on the booted easy glide Mikey thinks I'm off so I'll check Monday

 

[Mikey P]

That's your price sans glide, you better talk to Curt

 

[bob vawter]

that's sWeeeet....beats my "crackin' the wand" technique.....
whurrt THAT come from....havn't even seen one?

how can one live witout that?

 

[dgardner]

Yeah, that's what I meant. If you run it a little sideways you would get a wider path, but you would probably have to do pull strokes only.

Hey Mike,

What are your thoughts on edging tile with it?

 

[Mikey P]

I'll try it again, after they messed up the glide on the tile at M10F, I've been affaid to try it again.


Tackless does it's far share of damage as well.


Should work killer though.

 

[Mikey P]

I think a group buy is in order.


How many of you want one? It should be under $300

 

[Desk Jockey]

I still have a couple of those upstairs, used way back in the 70's. We used to edge the room prior to HWE with a 65-lb drag wand. (low PSI)

Ed York sold them as part of the Vapor Vac package.

 

[Brian H]

We had a crew make one similar to that a while ago. All you need is a standard Hydramaster wand and a Butler truckmount;. Back the truck over the wand near it's head and voila!! Who would have know we could make money doing that.

 

[Vivers]

That is an awesome tool and I'm in for 1 Mikey depending on price

 

[daniel@procarpet]

I have that exact crevice tool and the hand tool. Only problem is it cleans such a thin strip. If you are going to edge clean, you should invest in this tool as well.

[Mikey P]

The thin strip is all I need..


The glide is the key to protecting nice baseboards and is new to this tool, especially the angled cut.

 

[joey895]

So is that strip enough distance for a rotary extractor? I would think so but I don't' have much experience with rotary extractors.

Saw that today at Truck Mount Cleaning Solutions today. Customer appreciation party.

Talked with cleaner that loves the new crevice tool on soil filtration.

Didnt hear the outcome but he needed a few of those glides. They wear out.

Let us know if they can be had separately.

I love PMF tools.

Yes, for the Hoss and RvXL anyways

I've got one, but it's an older style. I bought a boot from some catolog (Sun Belt), glued it onto my old crevice tool, and works pretty, pretty well. I have a hose with a connector instead of a solid fitting. Been using it on T&G edges and corners.

I've had the shorter hand tool version with my own Teflon glide. Handy fer auto's and RV's even residential stairs. Tried it many times on long runs in homes but jaaaaazus that hurts. That stand up version look real handy. Run into homes now and then with candle and incents soot that I end up shampooing by hand with encap. Rinsing standing up seems less sucky.

 

[handdi]

we have had one for years turn pressure down or it will really distort the fibers

 

[What A Difference Ky]

Isn't there a 3" or 4" version of that? It would help get that edge that a spinner tool doesn't.

They used that tool at MF. On the hall. I wasn't really impressed. I would rather have the small gekko head. Or the gekko corner tool.
It would be great for carpet. But on tile it sprayed water everywhere At 800 psi.

[John Olson]

Ok I lied sorry, with the 2" adaptor welded it is $259 delivered without I it is $229

 

[jwfoulk12]

Is the glide available for this by itself? I've had the edger for a few years now and it is nice but I wouldn't mind trying the glide to gain the ability to go forward and back. I do like the ability to turn it at a slight angle tho to take a little wider path.

 

[John Olson]

Yes you can order the glide from me. The one shown is a different angle then the original Price is $30.99

 

[John Olson]

So everyone is on the same page PMF has had a booted easy glide for years. The one mikey is showing has a different angled glide 45 degrees and it will come with a 2" welded flair or you can order it at 1.5" the 45 degree boot is available and will attach to any of their crevice tools. These are not standard so what you seen and used before is not exactly the same animal as the one featured. PMF has always been willing to build anything I have asked them and a great reason besides the fact they are an American manufacturing company. Also just so you know they will build any of their wands in Titanium for me so if you have a favorite tool of theirs and want it in Titanium let me know and I'll get you a price

 

[tmdry]

Is this tool still available?

What was the price for it?

Thanks.
