Now that we are done with the fluff, Mark :winky:
Which tool do you like better- The Shear Dry or the SS?
Advantages and disadvantages of both, please.

My impression from the very short time I played with the Shear Dry was that it flushed better than the SS tool (not even sure I am right), yet it slowed one down due to spraying out once not in contact with the fabric. Did I get it right?

Actually, I have not pulled my SS off my truck since about June I think...

I like both tools...

the SS feels good too, cleans well, but sometimes leaves 2 lines in certain fibers....

The Shear Dry, feels better, and is easier to trim out certain things...and I think can sometimes flush better....I just end up going to that tool the most as I like how comfortable is feels for me...and seems to spread the water more evenly....but yeah...you can get sprayed if off upholstery if you have the water pressure up...

I just learned how to run the shear dry and got so used to it...I also like the hose better....the SS is just more rigid and heavier to me....

Both tools will not perform well if you DO NOT CLEAN The junk out of them...the shear dry has 2 holes the size of pins holes on both sides too I find if you don't clean, can cause some funky stuff....

So now that you brought this up...I am going to make a point to get the SS out on the next job and use it with the Shear Dry to see what I am feeling between the 2 units....

Both tools good...I just have been liking the Shear Dry more....lately :)

I liked the shape, although it looked suspiciously close to the Sapphire....with cheaper valve and trigger. I liked it until Ofer sprayed me in the face with it while showing me the stream that seems to shoot out beyond the vacuum chamber.

In my personal opinion the Sapphire is a much better tool. But if it comes to a budget, I'm sure a cleaner could make due with the Shear Dry. It's got to be better than that box cutter with the dial valve. :oldrolleyes:

Pardon me. Moi?
Or was it another one of your imaginary adversaries.

Your memory my friend. Oy vey. Reminds me of Tom Waits'- Time:

"And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget"

If memory serves me right, you haven't exactly cleaned a single sofa with it.
Right?

I was.
And you've been absolved my friend.

All you have to do now for it to be finalized is hang out with Marty and obtain his signed approval.

Bawb's wife has been a little ill recently. It's just drained him. :errf:

He isn't feeling very bawb like. He doesn't always show it, but he is lucky to be emotional. Which is great when things are good but hard when things are a struggle.

Whether he likes it or not, believes or not, I'm praying for them both.
