I talked with Mike today and discussed the upcoming Las Vegas event and just shot the shiznit. In that conversation our wand was brought up and how things were going with it....it has come with a hefty price tag of DRAMA.
But I love the wand and I offered to send a new one to Mike. He said that would be awesome as he will be doing a bit of work next week.
So as my day went on I kept thinking about our conversation and some of the things that have been said back when I started working on it....so...
This maybe the first time as far as I know that a product is going to be sent not in "NEW CONDITION!!" Nope this wand was built sent out right after ICE , abused beyond belief and sent back to me for a full refund no questions asked.
I cleaned up the wand and have been using it ever sense to see what was wrong with it???
Mike made the statement here on this board of course saying lets see how long it lasts.
Well not out of any disrespect of any kind what good would it do to send Mike a brand spanking new wand that NEEDS to prove itself, there is no way in a weeks time he will put a dent in a brand new wand.
So I cleaned it up, replaced the old style solution lines, added my modded valve, all done with high flow in mind, put the newer manifold brackets and manifolds on it, addded the famous MYTEE comfort handle. So it should have all my improvements that I have been working on.
Tested it for any leaks at 1300 psi it all checked out okay.
Added some new oil to my oil filled swivel so it should be good to go, boxed it up tonight and will send it off to Mike in the morning.
Now there is one concern I have that is a fairly new little mod I am doing, I am making my own solution line ends, they have a brass insert but the outer crimp is of stainless steel, I am trying to get rid of the internal rust that forms inside almost all of our solution lines, this is the only thing that has not had some real time put on them, but I have a hyd hose crimp machine and I believe they will hold up okay.
So Mike I am doing this not because I am on the cheap or out of disrespect, but because I want you to see and use a swivel that has some time on it.
Now Mike can choose to keep it, or after he is done with his trial donate/auction it off to the members here.
So enjoy the wand and thank you for letting us be here,
This is my new hose ends
