Sapphire uph pro all the way!

I've owned most of those and even a several others. Back in the dinosaur days lots of funky upholstery tools were sold.

yep...PMF internal jet tool..
it's the greatest in the history of the world.
If an operator knows how to adjust PSI, there's noting it can't clean as well or better than any upl tool


ergos of the Sapphire Pro are better (matter of fact, best ergos in the history of the world) ...but that's all


..L.T.A.

i dont see a bane there?

and to answer your question, no.

besides the bane which is what i use, i have a couple others. i would like to try some out in florida.

SS for productivity.
PMF for much better detail and control. Priced much better.

I'd love to try the Shear Dry and Mytee's new one.

Hated the Kleenrite tool. Hydrokinetic & HydraMaster tools too cumbersome. Prochem's too heavy and I don't like the spray head outside.
Never tried the CFR.

The Kleenrite upholstery tool, which isn't pictured, was my favorite since early 1981 when I first got it. During my Bane years I never ever used the Bane "upholstery tool" which I viewed as ancient and crude even then.

You have a KR Drapery tool pictured. I wasted well over $300 on it, having used it 3 or 4 times before deciding it yielded poor results on most drapery.

I like the SS tool now, but it could use tweaking, which I'm sure is coming.

You'd like the CFR tool but the vac relief is in the way and poses a snag hazard.

I loved the KR tool for many years. The drapery tool didn't work all that well but then dry cleaning didn't either. Not to mention it was a bit sharp when you removed the pleat insert.

so, you lost the plain insert too?

"What a Difference a Day Makes!" was the tagline then for the class with Murray Cremer. So true it turns out.

Don't miss Jim Pemberton's presentation at MFE. It will make a similar difference in your career.

Make a very secure place to protect it on your truck. No point in needlessly breaking a very fragile tool.

The HK tool isn't there. If they made that tool out of a plastic so it was lighter I bet there'd be a lot more guys trying it
I've tried the SS tool, used the KR tool for years, switched to the orig DM, then bought the HK. I'll get years out of that tool.

We think this top cleaning SS tool was the "value leader" at ICE at $239 :

Smooth head on top of the tool

I have that tool. Bought it replace a PMF handtool that got drove over.
I find the trigger too low to be comfortable. Other than that, seems like a good tool

 

[Desk Jockey]

looks like a cheezy pmf tool. I think you'd be better served paying more and getting more.

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

Sapphire followed by my CFR combo that's not pictured.

 

[Desk Jockey]

How did the new Mytee tool handle? The was more talk prior to the show????

 

[Bjorn]

old school dri master before they fuc#ed it up

 

[Cleantechsk]

situational for me depending on what im doing but finer fabrics and lighter/medium soiling really like the SS clear
for trashed i reach for the prochem flood tool with a hole glide
and car detailing the pmf 4" internal jet or a combo of the 3 depending.

got to try out the kinetic in vegas with some cleaners. Nice production tool which I really think could benefit from a view window

 

[Desk Jockey]

That was a great tool in its day.

 

[Bjorn]

still is

 

[Desk Jockey]

I prefer the Sapphire. Trigger option, lighter, smooth vacuum chamber with no cracks or sharp edges to be concerned with.

 

[Bjorn]

you like the trigger when was the last time you cleaned anything

 

[Desk Jockey]

This morning I cleaned three divan cushions. They came in wet from a water loss. Not really dirty but I was trying to keep it from a water stain.

It looked good wet but I think Monday there maybe some visible differences from the saturated and just cleaned areas. Oh well I tried!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Distilled water Richard

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'll try that next time. Hopefully it dries better but when I last looked it appeared to have a faint line.

 

[Nate The Great]

SS tool followed my the HK close second....

Upholstery tools are like women, it's a personal preference... I like them all, some more than others....
