New Clear Top Upholstery Tool

[dealtimeman]

Has anyone tried the trex jr?

If not then we can start talking about how bad it cleans as regular programming.

 

[FredC]

lol...look at Lockhart....already trying to protect his secondary market

 

[Mikey P]

Hes going to ICE.



Doesnt want to be fostracized..

 

[dealtimeman]

I am married and no longer on the market my friend.

 

[dealtimeman]

Doesn't look good for me going to ice this year again , don't get me wrong I want to go as I like to go to different trade shows and form my own opinion of them.

Not everyone thinks the same way and being able to step back and have the capability to try to understand what others appreciate and see as worthwhile has a certain value, doesn't it?

 

[Mikey P]

No worries, you'll have two whole chances to go to the new iicrcA show this year.

 

[dealtimeman]

When are they?

 

[Mikey P]

Soon and later.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Do I think this new tool is the answer, no, but another has to be a good thing for the market as it will push for the better product and the market will decide.

Buy one, I'm sure it will clean well.

I'm also sure the valve will get in your way at some point in time too.

 

[Mikey P]

Of course it will clean well, Studebaker/Sapphire designed a great spray/ glide assembly for them


But will it melt olefins and will it turn you into a non dry stroking hack?

 

[Desk Jockey]

shhhh let Lockhart find out on his own.

Maybe he will see it differently.

Mikey you keep saying it will burn fibers at 240. Who the hell cleans upholstery at 240! 180 and 250psi no matter what tool your using. As far as the rest of the debate going on I'll stay out of it but will say the spray bar looks exactly like Keith's which makes it better already then the Rotovac knock off. Hopefully Keith and SS have the patent locked down

Ruttt row!
Lockhart you better get the tool before they get a cease and desist order.

 

[Mikey P]

I also asked Larry to test at 200°


I cant recall what truck I was using when I had the Drymaster but ive never ran more than 220° as a rule.

Was the spray block Aluminum on the DM?



The mytee looks like steel which would conduct alot less heat..

Looking foward to Lockhart's and Larry's non bias findings

You know, I've never once locked the trigger open on the SSpro.

In order for it to flush well the spray needs to spittle out about two inches from the head.


You could do that with the triggerless DM or you'd make a mess and or constantly be messing with the valve underneath.

The very reason I have zero interest in the Mytee.


That and the bad juju associated with ** knowingly screwing Studebaker, his supposed great pal. Just doesn't sit right with me.

 

[Cleantechsk]

Some features I like about it for sure.
Maybe the valve will be loose enough to be adjusted with your thumb on the fly? Have to wait and see.

I also have the clear ss (which I love!)
Might pick it up at ice since it will be $220? At the show. Great for a backup at least.

A change out for the metal could come down the line too? I see they are bringing out glides for the trex head now.

I really don't see a problem with having no hand valve though. I clean the entire top of a pillow then go back for a dry stroke I'd needed.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I think most issues will be when cleaning the inside arm. There will be a propensity to rub against the inside back pillows. I'd also have some concerns with the valve scratching wood arms.

The CFR tools we have have a vacuum relief on the top and its always a concern for snagging. Its just bad placement.

Someone should have consulted with Ofer before manufacturing the tool.

 

[dealtimeman]

Chavez is just trying to remember a few decades back of how he used to clean in the late 80s and early 90s

.

this is what i was wondering about.
what if we could have one that always sprayed but also had a trigger for flushing when needed?

Calm down Encino MAN!!!!

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

Go blow your money on it and then we'll talk.

Well, you'll talk and I'll laugh.

 

[dealtimeman]

Jerry Valentine has a couple of months testing time on the Mytee Dry prototype . . .

He states that the fingertip flow adjustment was intuitive for the people that tried it . . .

Much faster than any other tool flow adjustment . . .

I am looking forward to operating the Trex Jr. . . .

I think it will be a big hit at the show . . .

I so remember these machines and these days

Pinching off a fatty is intuitive too.

Doesn't mean I want to do it 800 times per sofa.

When a so called friend completely rips off the idea of another so called friend my intuition is to say fvck you and stick that thing up your ass.
