New DriMaster?!

[Russ T.]

I just heard back from my boy Marcus at HydraMaster. He was calling to let me know that they are shipping my new upholstery tool very shortly. I think it might be called the DriMaster 3 but I'm not sure. I just wanted to acknowledge the level of service they are giving me. I struggled with the DriMaster 2 through several frame rebuilds because those metal lips just don't stay put. I'll keep you guys posted on my impressions of the new HM Upholstery tool. I'm really excited to move away from that DM2. The guys at HM admitted to its design flaws and seem committed to supporting their products.

The new DM3 does look miles better than the DM2 and it's dismantle-able really easily.

I am sure Doyle Bloss is driving these improvements. I sure hope this will fix the ongoing issues. It has been my favorite tool for many years.

I consider the original Drymaster tool to be one of my worse purchases ever. Just a too delicate, to finicky a tool.

For those of us who do a lot of upholstery cleaning, we need a hardy, dependable tool, that can withstand the harsh inner van environment
We need a survivor, not a tool that we have to babysit.

That's why so many here still love their PC upholstery tool.
You were done with the job, hammered in some nails with the tool, banged with it to fix the dent in the door and threw it in the back. Next time you needed it, you dug the tool out and voila, it worked without a hitch.

I hope the new DM-3 will be more like that.

No way the original was awesome! I loved that tool, we have half a dozen of the white and maybe a couple of black ones. (1) of the Drimaster II, its the one I didn't like as well. Too many sharp edges, the original would still be the top dog had Sapphire not came out with a better tool.

All those attending Mikeyfest (and my upholstery presentation) will be among the first to see and be able to use the new DM3 tool. I think you will like it.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Will it be for sale too?

Sheesh. I'll sell you my white original one. I can not ethically stand between a man and the awesome love of his life.

I'll trade you for a Dodge Hemi, only lightly driven on Sundays and with a brand new tranny.......again.

Is that

ZZZzBest

deal you're willing to offer?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I might be able to trade a few hundred prostitutes but there again they might not go for two cleaners shows in a month. Maybe next year!

Richard, what's with you & these "trannies" ???

Like, I know you talk about prostitutes every so often, but really, transvestites ??


Getting back on course, I also sold my BLACK DriMaster, but KEPT my original WHITE one, which I mainly use for fringe detailing, (not very often now).

My main tools are still the HydroKinetic & SS tool.

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL
I'd like to try Hydrokinetic. It looks a little blockish but lots of people like it.
What do you use it on Shorty?

 

[Shorty]

It's great for all flat fabrics, big areas, even curved arms on upholstery.

Great for office partitions, etc;

I really like it for microfiber as well as cotton prints and mattresses.

I find it actually gives me a drier finish compared to the SS.

At first I thought it was going to be heavy and awkward, but exactly the opposite, bear in mind I'm not a big guy, but I find it very comfortable to use.

I can use it all day on major jobs with little fatigue.

Upholstery tools are a fetish for me, I love getting a good one, & the above two in my opinion, are head and shoulders above anything else I have tried.

I can't justify buying each and every new tool that comes on the market, there are not many that make it down under, so I have to be careful what I choose to buy direct from the 'states.

Does anyone have pics or any info at all on the new DriMaster?

There's things I loved about the drimaster 2 but I just couldn't keep lips on it. Was a waist of money for me. I hope the 3 is much better. My sapphire is working well for me now but I do wish it had a clear sight glass like the drimaster.
