New upholstery tool devlopment is coming along..

[KevinD]

No matter what kind of tool you develop it will have its plusses and minuses.
Some will love it and some will hate it.

Another question, is 10 ft the perfect hideAhose length or would you like more or less?

Prefer about 20 ft or more.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Prefer about 20 ft or more.

Yup. If a guy does a ton of upholstery, this is my preferred length aswell.
I run stainless steel braided solution hose inside my vac line on my SS Upholstery Pro tool. When we do large amounts of commercial upholstery, (carpet AND upholstery), without a doubt, I love having a very long lead on my upholstery tool. Still even, when doing a very large sectional, it’s nice to have enough give on the hose to complete the job. I’d never go back to 8-10’.

The tool is really coming along impressively


Two units will be in Indianapolis to play with

This is what i use to bypass on all my upholstery tools its built from off the shelf parts from a kleanrite solvent tool. It's simple and can be easily removed if necessary

How are you regulating the flow ?

Inch and a quarter ultra flexible vac hose with swivel cuff, in 10, 15 & 20' choices.

The optional brass bypass assembly will come with a protective bag for those concerned about scratching delicate floors.

And did I mention the head will most likely be made out of titanium for a 35% weight reduction?

Looking promising.

I’ll be the first to ask,

Have you decided on pricing yet?

Aiming to keep it as close to $500 as possible

It all looks good so far.

Titanium should make it as light as a plastic tool, with more durability.

The bypass set up might not readily survive careless cleaners/techs, but it seems the bag should help with this. I think the feature is worth this potential issue, as you can control pressure/flow, and I would think it should enable enough flow to activate flow controlled burners.

Will that feature be an option?

 

[Mikey P]

Will that feature be an option?

yes, and affordable and easily replaced, fixed or maintained...

 

[Cleanworks]

yes, and affordable and easily replaced, fixed or maintained...

What pressure would you say is ideal?

 

[Mikey P]

What pressure would you say is ideal?

100 to 400 at 1 flow, ymmv...

 

[Cleanworks]

100 to 400 at 1 flow, ymmv...

I can see 400 on stair risers but this is something I might use with a portable on synthetic fibers. Looks like it would be quicker than a sapphire tool in certain situations.

Can I get one for free?

Only regular posters get one for free...

If you (or Brady) come to my next Fabric Pro class in North Carolina, I will give you one.

That opening is about as wide as a Big Mouth Bass. Looks like it might pull fabric a little too much. Any optional cage like glide?

Forgot to say , the short teflon hose is there so as the jet of hot solution doesn't cut a hole in vacuum hose(and it would). The teflon hose is connected to a small orifice used inside kleanrite solvent extractors return line

Why not dual vacuum port, dual direction use

Of all the acerbic, sometimes erudite, and always on point responses I’ve seen from you Marty, this one has me more confused than most of Mike’s cryptic comments

I'll add curb feelers and a scalp massager too if you promise to consider buying one.

You can be such a square at times, especially when dealing with the human condition, my dear freind...



Think of his reply as such...

My daughter says I’m autistic.

Why not?

It seems all the rage these days

I took my wife and daughters shopping yesterday.
We went out for lunch first, then went to the mall.

As I was following my girls around (11 and 13), they stopped in one of their favourite shops.

I of course, begrudgingly, was only there as a shopping bag holder, and wallet.

As they perused the offerings in this preteen-teen store, I was looking at how strange things have become since my own youth.

I came upon the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in my life.

Apparently, the new thing now is called E.S.S.A….

Emotional
Support
Stuffed
Animals

There were every kind of stuffed animal, and they all had this ESSA embroidered, or a collar, or a harness with this ridiculous name on them.

This is what our society has been reduced to.
