dry master

who has one what do you think of it

It's a specialty tool. Some jobs it's a pleasure to use but on most jobs it's not worth it.

Pro's: 30min to 1hr dry times no matter what, it looks cool and different, you can give the customer a view of the massive river going through the clear tube and talk up your dry times.

Cons:It takes a little getting used to, it doesn't clean as well as a proper wand, it uses mega water, it catches hairballs in the clear tube, it's solution slots get clogged, it's plastic and breaks, it can drop grease one and awhile, the swirls are hard to rake out and require attention before the dry, bouncy on cgd and can leave permanent distortion with mega heat, slower than a wand, the skids get torn up on tack strip, can't clean corners, I'm probably forgetting some.

Great for most jobs, super fast cleaning and drying. Sometimes you just need something with a spray jet though. We keep a drimaster and a prochem on both trucks.

 

[Rex Tyus]

I have one and absolutely love it. Can't imagine using a jet again on upholstery. When I bought mine they only had the original. I would opt for the larger if I had a choice.

I owned both the drimaster floor and uph tools. Sold them both.

I keep the Drimaster and Prochem Tool (with glide) on the truck. I like them both.

 

[Doug Cox]

awkward.

 

[Bryan Irvin]

Some people love em, I hate em...As a matter of fact I have one that I'll sell for a good price. If anyone wants it just email me.

The Prochem is a POS also. It weighs way too much.

 

[Ron Werner]

had the Drimaster uph tool for 4 yrs, I wasted a lot of time on uph. Cleans well but very slow

Just switched to the Steamway Hydrokinetic with glide, slickest tool I've ever owned. LOTS of flow and it still leaves it dry.
Apparently, even this tool, some like it, some don't. I think I'll keep mine

I use the UPH tool and it does me great. Super fast drying time. Pays for itself on a couple jobs.

 

[clean one]

I have one , it can be hard to use in some places, the hide a hose style doesn't bend good, i wish it had a wider head. The small diam hose i think creates to much vac on my blower. I put some screws into three of the vent holes to keep the hose from covering them up and drilled some more <a><img></a>

A new version of the Drimaster will be out the first of the year.

 

[John Watson]

Shawn, thats what they said last year.....

Ron, I use the Dri Master Uph tool on 95% of the uph we do. I have about 8-10 other tools which are aquiring dust except for my pro chem tool which I use the other 5% of the time. I do have a glide for this tool, just haven't put it on yet (Only got it a the last MikeyFest).

When our son Jay cleaned Uph he bitched and moaned about his carpal tunnel problems in fact he started to refuse cleaning uph till he started using the Dri Master which he said didn't bother his carpal tunnel at all..

Now he is a plumber!!!

 

[steve frasier]

I was told that last November also

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

John,

You never heard me say that last year. Listen, I'll post pics a little later.

 

[John Watson]

Shawn, You are correct,

I did not hear you say it,

I said they, which refers to Hydra Master.

I was told this at the former Seattle McDowells, formally owned by Hydra Master, at their CAD party. Bryan O'halick, John Surdi, myself and others were there discussing the new features that were coming out on the redesigned tool in early 07 with the HM Rep. Scott W was even in the background..

pic would be nice. Thanks

The Prochem is a POS also. It weighs way too much.

Doug, you don't have a glide for yours, do ya? Totally changes that tool.

And John, you buy one of the coolest little tools and don't run home and play with it? Shame on you. It's seriously one of our most popular glides, it has a cult like following.

Don't forget to drill some holes in the back of the tool.

THIS was my first one, I would drill the FURTHER from the glide if I did it again.

 

[KevinD]

John, put the glide on it, it takes all of 3 seconds to snap it on.
I hardly ever used my prochem tool until I got a glide from Lisa & Greenie.

 

[John Buxton]

I have a drimaster, us products, and cfr tool. I like the cfr more than the other two combined.

 

[Steve Smith]

Why would you put a glide on an upholstery tool?

Too hard for you to move without a glide?

Are you really a cleaner or do you just play one on the internet? It is hard for me to relate to anyone that actually has to ask that question.

Seriously.
