Anger Free cuffs.

Mikey cuffs we're melted dow and recycled into a 3/4 scale black helicopter

I already have my order in & have been thinking of what I can do with all the Gorilla Tape I use now to hold my current Swivel (LOL)twist locking (LOL) cuffs together.

The Flash ones look like they will solve allot of issues if they work as described.

after a few months of dragging the hoses threw the dirt and such.....let me know how that push button thingy still works out..........

Jim you have a point it could become a problem but I keep hoses very clean & rarely if ever just drag them thru dirt & such since I don't want to track dirt in on clean carpet.

I liked my old 2" slide lock cuffs better but the current ones we use are better than anything else even with their issues with need tape to hold them together. I will definitely keep all the old cuffs until I use the new ones for a while.

The new Flash Cuffs look like they will be a GREAT replacement without all the issues but only time will tell. Also I hope there are enough accessories for Flash Cuffs to truly replace all my old ones.

Again if FLASH Cuffs live up to the advertising they will take care of the negatives associated with my current ones. Everyone has an opinion & this is just mine sorry if it offends anyone.

Helen an I love our Cool Cuffs. Have the orriginal with the slide lock which we hardly ever use the slide. Guess we are more careful than most cause ours after years of service still work great. I know we don't do 4-10 places a day like some of you, but doing our avg of 2-3 (depending on size) per work day ours are still in great shape, the only complaint I have is my fault of not gluing them to the hose. They now and again unscrew off the hose.

 

[Ron Werner]

the 2.5" don't come with a slide lock unfortunately. Be interesting to here the feedback before I have some shipped north

 

[John Olson]

I have picked some honest no agenda folks to send these to when they come in. Mikey will get some from
Interlink for free I'm sure so I won't be sending him any so you will know the feedback is honest and true

John I used to be an avid supporter of my cuffs until the Swivel Lock that needs tape on the 2.5" although I don't think I have ever put tape on the 2" swivel Lock since I can get it to stay together most of the time. I will also give an honest opinion when I purchase mine as I have always done even when I received something at no charge just to test. Interlink especially knows I will be bluntly honest about my opinion. That is one way I stay in trouble

I have no business or personal agenda against my current ones I even purchased them with the manufacture not wanting me to have them. I have always stated even before they were manufactured they needed a Lock. But they are 10 fold better than vinyl cuffs. I also had the original 2.5" that literally fell apart when reeled up. Mine are in GREAT shape since everyone knows I am not anything close to a volume cleaner.

I pretty much have purchased every cuff accessory available in the lineup from the 2" slide lock which was the best IMO so far to my current 2" & 2.5" swivel Locks.

In the real world.... most cleaners will carry in there first 50 to 75 ft of hoses..after that everything else will lay on the ground....unless you are rolling up every length of hose you got and carrying it back to the truck sooner or later that little push button will get crap down in it....6 months in the trenches should be a good enough time for a decent test on these.....send me a few Olsen...I will pay you for them and put them thru a true carpet cleaners abuse test.....

 

[ronbeatty]

Joe just sent me the latest 2.5 swivel cuffs. They stay together and swivel, just like he said they would. !gotcha!

My hoses rotate around quite a bit because if we dual wand they never go back the way they came off & with my reducer I made I can use any section that comes off first. So I try to take good care of all hose since any section could go into the house. Also a very large percentage of our clients have Concrete Drives & Sidewalks so we have less crud issues even after 3.5 yrs of use.

I will definitely admit I don't abuse any of my equipment so I am not a good test for abuse testing but on the other side if something doesn't hold up with me using it that doesn't show very good for the item in question.

I haven't actually seen any of the new Flash Cuffs but if the button is what it looks like, it may self clean somewhat. I will know more when I try them out. Then I will decide on replacing all on truck or just a few when I see them.

Joe just sent me the latest 2.5 swivel cuffs. They stay together and swivel, just like he said they would. !gotcha!

Ron do they lock now & also seem like they will in the future mine locked at first but after use began to fall apart when no vac was present especially while reeling in. I tried the electrical tape but it didn't last that long & was very sticky so I found small rolls of Gorilla Tape which works fairly well. I also have a few extra brand new cuffs I may never use if Flash Cuffs live up to advertising.

I have purchased enough of the ones with issue so now I will try a different style but I do realize I may be back to the ones I have been using.

John, does that mean, I don't get any to try.

You are already on the list I know no matter what you will give your opinion based on what you know not what the crowd says

 

[Ron Werner]

how much is a set of 2.5" John?

 

[Doug Cox]

I think I'll stick with Joe. It amazes me that some of you will jump ship at the drop of a hat. Pretty pathetic. IMO

Jump ship? LOL

I buy products.. As long as they arn't running a kiddie porn operation on the side I could care less who I buy them from.

In this case I haven't been in that SHIP for along time so my loyalty was to the product & if there is a better product I will use it in this case for sure.

I will fault no one for loyalty to him though.

Loyalty is a two way street and it is earned not given. Joe meets neither.

 

[Guest]

I like Joe and appreciate his honesty. While I dont subscribe to all his opinions, I am glad to be associated with folks that aren't afraid to speak their mind, instead of weasels that will only tell you what you want to hear.

I guess to many folks were raised on Dr. Spock, and their personalities aren't geared for anything other than group speak and political correctness, but its the folks like Joe that innovate, then there are others that copy. I will support the innovators and free thinkers.

 

[John Olson]

Just like the owner of a mad dog will defend it even after it has bitten everyone he knows he will refuse to put it down until it turns on him. It is not a matter of if it is only a matter of when James. I know you are trying hard to win Joe over to your board and think it willbenifit your pocket book but like everyone ( Jon-Don will soon follow) you find it it just isn't worth it.

 

[Guest]

Joe has been to my board, he can post if he wants. My job is to offer quality products to my customers, Joe has always delivered. Thats all I care about. And thats really all anyone should care about.

 

[Bob Foster]

I have no problems with Joe and he has earned my loyalty. He has given me good service and been very helpful.

There's also another saying that says you get what you give.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Billy]

Ok the other cuffs have been beaten to death has anyone used the new Flash Cuffs yet? Still not available here yet.

 

[The Magician]

In the real world they won't last up north in the snow & rain. Havng enough problems with the butons on my water claw.
