You will not go wrong with the PMF Mach. I have both the big boy and the 12” Early versions. Sucks like a prostitute light as feathers. The head and wand are both one piece mold not attached like so many you see. One thing, don’t fall for the pretty colors crap. Nor buy from Rob ***…he’ll rob you blind and with a smile with his prices.
non swivel option on his website is Pmf's
Ya butt, we all know where Saigers hangs out.
Best wand is Tom's Devastator hands down. Can get it in 1.5 inch or 2 inch tubes, 12 or 14 inch head. Best I've ever used and no I don't own one yet. On the list which is growing shorter.
I own a mach 12 and it's a great wand. You need to get rid of the og glides and put greenglides on it. The og glides are too flat causing the wand to lock down. The greenglides are rounded and make the wand easier to control. No windows and no swivel but a very good wand regardless.
I use slot or one square glide. Best since it picks up paper clips, dust ballz, etc. PMF sells the glide, at least last time I bought from them. Think there’re called lips or somethings. My glide is about 6-7 years old. Should change it but still going good. They screw on.
The replacement greenglides is an internal fit. A little narrower but gives you a little more slot velocity. Great dry times.
Build quality is excellent
Heres a couple of restaurants 1 was done by someone who left a crap load of soap in it had to use a truck load of defoamer but it was clean and residue free when I left
It wasn't what i used it was what the last guy used that was the problem , i just showed up and surprise !!!
I made the hide-a-hose. I took a 30' 2" vac hose of lighter weight and had a 30' steam line made, then cut a small hole in each 2" hose cuff, either end to feed the steam line through. It makes managing the Zipper much easier and keeps those hoses together. The vac hose was a lighter gauge 2" hose so as to make it more manageable.
I would think if you tried a zipper, you would ditch that drag wand so fast it’d make your head spin. It’s just 21st century compared. Smoother, easier, easier to carry. I’m a zipper fan, but I’m mostly commercial. The Zipper is the reason I don’t buy a Dev.
That's a lot of work but as long as you're getting paid for it, good job.
I use my Zipper with a 4m blower as well as a Roots 47. Both work fine with hose runs less than 200 feet. This is the 13 inch with a 5 flow. Using the larger ones with more flow requires at least a 47 blower in my opinion.
You'll love vlm if you're picking up jobs where your truck mount can't reach. Beats using a porty hands down.
