Tony came by a few weeks ago and gave us a 4th wand in exchange for the prior three he had us test.

And once again it's a fail.

While there are some improvements such as no more rivets, no heat shrink wrap, a tube that's the proper size so that trigger hangers and assist grips actualy stay put.


But the swivel is a fail, again. Undersized bearings are jamming up upon themselves making the swivel action notchy and getting worse everday.
Tony says he'll send a new head and outer bearing race but the inner race is welded to the head so it's sort of ******.

Meanwhile our 4 year old Tom swivel keeps plugging along...

No reason to buy a $1800 wand just because it has a swivel that has been on vacuum cleaner wands for 30 years.
