Our techs always leave them at customers houses! So all we carry on the truck is some white out just in case they scratch the corners of walls. (which is NOT often) .
I have 4 orange ones, however I find them useless therefore I don't use them. I don't drag my hoses around corners and I tried using them that way (dragging around corners) and they definitely don't stay. I may use them when someone seems picky just for the show.
I have 4. I use orange for visibility. The customer doesn't miss them and will often comment on them. Even if you don't need them, they put on a good show for very little effort.
Honestly you can have a brand new rig and machine sparkling clean out in the drive, and you will get more comments on how "neat" the corner guards are. It's in the details.
I have 4 on the truck and wish I had at least six on a service call today. Would you use them on furniture when its placed near a corner where it could be vulnerable to the hose?
Only if your dumb enough to keep pulling the hose and you know the furniture is there. Helen and I never have marked a corner or corner post to our knowledge not using them.
I believe single manned trucks would need them more than 2 man crews working together.
We are going to start using them just for the Hoopala it creates and just continue to be different that the other guys..More horse and pony show....
I quit using corner guards because they never seem to stay in place and don't work well in a stairway corner, they seem like a total waste of money to me
I have 8 on board plus 3 of the new bulkhead/wall protectors. The corner guards never stay put, so there only for show. The bulkhead protectors work great.
Marketing on them is a brillant idea. They do get noticed by the client.
