I love mine too ..it's looks similar to your Cobblet tool
The large one is a Greenie tool..it's a good tool, but I personally prefer the smaller 22" tool

I have the Prochem stair tool with 1 jet... The newer ones has 2 jets like yours...
I still like Able's one that he chopped a Prochem TI... But I just run the RV360i on the treads to get the them filthy one clean...
I even have one of those swivel ones that Mark Saiger showed in his hose management video... I never did use it, but after watching his, I may give it a try... It came with some equipment we bought..

I can tell you and send or post pics of it as well. I had it changed out to a 2 jet system (real easy to do) and it is a good wand now...Fast too!

Down in Orange County somewhere.
Idea and designs stolen from here but built in Vietnam.
Erik from Zipper caught Tony photographing his stuff at ICE when he thought no one was looking.
Ask Lisa about him.

Mikey;
We look for value in equipment . . .
wherever it is found.
The majority of the current wand designs came from Bill Shero . . .
Century's founder (now deceased).
Those workers evolved into CMP, whose wands we also sell.
CMP's low-profile 14" design predated most low-profile wide wands.
Nearly all wands & glides on the market today, have come from previous designers.

LOLL, Art
Those were new 5-6(?) years ago
I don't know what country of origin the small came from, I DO know it's a well made solid "forever" tool
I don't know if it's the same as Cobblet's ..I bought mine for down right cheap (like a $100?) from some chic on e-bay ..that wasn't around long ...maybe the Asian mafia got her??....i donno, but do it's a damn solid tool

Here is one of our 2 stair tools with swivel head. They are terrible with a single jet in my opinion, but with (2) 80015 jets, a Hybrid Greenglide and soft pull trigger, we do love this tool.
One I had built by PMF the other I got from John Olson. The first one I got has 1/4 inch size jets, the one from John Olson has 1/8 inch size jets with adaptors. Both work great. I am thinking about ordering 1/4 size for both and then experimenting with check valve extenders as well. Just on my "To Do" list and haven't got to it yet.
Flushing out Red Iron Ore from steps (not really easy all the time)
Before new jets were replaced for this worn out jet (we took the pic to get the correct jet number at the time)
Link to the video mentioned where Jeremy was cleaning a set of steps with it (brief looks at that at :25 seconds and :44 seconds.)

Any of you guys have any videos of your step cleaning process? I see everybody using these bigger wands for step and that just looks like a bear. I use a much smaller hand tool, sure it's more bending over but it enables me to get the nosing and the risers very well. Anyway just curious as to what process everybody else is using.

I find those short tube stair tools to be absolute back-breakers. I like to stand while I'm cleaning stairs.
Someone actually posted a few vids awhile back , was thinking Mikey might have posted one of his Son, FRED Fetch : )
It is exactly as you would imagine. To clean the faces you gotta flip the wand over and Man Handle it : )
First set is always the worst, you get better. Watch the ceilings if there are any.
You follow the nose around and off the edge coming from the top, then ya flip an pull up so your removing the agua.
It's not for the limp wristers thats fur sure. Alot of one arm work as the other stabilizes n works the magical lever
I don't even have a stair tool. So far luck has been with me upon turning n landing so....

I bought the prochem stair tool with the 2 in mouth the smaller one paid a pretty penny for it.
Couldn't stand the thing my local distributor bought it vac off my for $50.00

I prefer one where I can use a 1.5 inch hose for maneuverability and to pipe the bull nose.
I love a vinyl cuff for that.
Not that I mind paying the 100% mark up on all prochem tools, I have lots of their stuff already.
