When Prochem puts their name on a swivel, then I agree with you on it being the industry standard.
I know PMF makes prochem's wands, but I just don't see it being the industry's standard that soon. But I do look forward to seeing what Tom has to offer with his wand in a couple weeks.
Forgive me for speaking too soon, but when I see a repair kit for a swivel, just like there's a repair kit for our trigger valves, then I'll agree on it being a standard selection for all wands.
But from what I've seen from Bentley and Tony's swivel, it will be much farther than 3 years from now

Bentley's swivels have a brass bearing sleeve and hard anodize in their design .
Tom, I believe is going to use a needle bearing.

I have Tom's first attempt. Great wand.
First week, I hated the swivel. Almost sent it back.
Second week, I thought: "It's not that bad."
Third week, I thought: "I can never go back to a non-swivel wand."
Year later, still feel the same way. Can't wait for Tom's new design.
Mainstream, probably not, who cares. Glides will never be mainstream either.

Time is the killer. Most guys will clean a couple of jobs and make a decision. Three weeks, you must have patience!
I used a Dang one in Atlanta. It looked nicely built I was unimpressed in the short time I used it.
Maybe it was too loose???

Your right. But I think it's like that with every "out of the box" design.
I remember I hated glides the first week, but Greenie kept telling me to try it longer. I was an early adopter of the Zipper, when it was getting trashed on the forums, and I almost passed on it, but that second week was when it all came together for me.
Tom's swivel is super tight. I would hate it if it was loose. At first you fight it, then you just get it and never fight with it again. Fluidly going around impossibly tight corners and angles and under furniture without even thinking about it.

I think my techs are too conservative to give it a fair shot. Frankly between the Zipper & RE I think a standard wand is good enough.
It was tough enough getting them to buy into those tools let alone one I don't quite see value in.

The only tool I can remember liking immediately is the Rotovac XL. (Not with the brush head!)
Zipper ... took some time and I'm still not a huge fan on residential.
OP machines are worthless.
Mexicans can cook.
Californians should stay in California.

I told you for years to get an XL. I hope you thought of me as you ran it.
And if you did, I hope I was saying I TOLD YOU SO!

I can't cook to save my life. When I was divorced it was frozen food, canned tuna or the salad bar.
