PMF Uph Tool fans..

Is the window new?


Does not look accessible so I hope it holds..

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Window is new. I ordered all mine without the annoying vacuum relief on the tool. Prefer the 3.5" over the 4.5". I don't think the spray pattern meets the edges on the 4.5.

 

[Mikey P]

I got the 4.5 but have not used it yet due to the glued in 2" adapter not fitting into my Flash Cuff male


meAt says the same about the spray pattern, which is a bummer.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I don't like windows. It was an issue with my old Drimaster tools. I loved the tool but was irritated when to window would fall out.

 

[John Olson]

The window option has been around for as long as PMF I believe. I used to order them in and will when someone asks but they fall out if your not careful with your tool. After seeing tool after tool with Duct Tape of the window I just stopped ordering them. Been at least 9-10 years ago when I still worked for JWC

 

[Desk Jockey]

Exactly. I had to duct tape several of the windows. It worked fine but looked like shit!

 

[Mikey P]

Yikes..


Glad I asked

 

[John Olson]

Just keep them in the bag when not using them and the windows will stay in. Its the guys that just toss them in the back of the van that cant keep the window in

"the Bag"




Those Tahoe rope bags we all bought last year are cooked...the rubber lining and the zippers dont hold up.


John, do you have some other bag to suggest?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Diver's bags work good they just don't look as cool as the rope bags.

[John Olson]

The rope bags have held up here, well at least enough they are still worth it. Mytee has a new neoprene bag haven't ordered any that didn't come with the Mytee tool yet. Waiting to see how well they hold up they are triple the price then the rope bags

When you use the same jet and the same length tube that holds the jet and increase the width of the tool by a inch that is going to happen.
I wonder about some manufacturers engineers?
Jet placement is not hard.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Prefer the 3.5" over the 4.5".

I agree the 3.5 is wide enough to get the work done without being too wide.

 

[Andy G]

I use the 4.5 and had the same problem with the spray not reaching the edge. So I ordered a new jet and removed a 1/4 of an inch off the top with a tubing cutter now I get full coverage. I also replaced the valve with the high pressure version they use on the tile tool huge improvement.

I had my uncles upholstery shop make me a bag for my sapphire tool. Top quality zipper and really cool fabric that breathes. No idea what I would have cost. Family discount.

I am actually going to go to my local seamstress gals who have kept sewing my rope bags back together and ask them to make me some bags similar to the rope bags out of another material....and just take and cut the front face of the rope bags I have ...and spent a lot of money to have the logos stitched on .... transferred to the front of the newly made bags.

Just need some time to go visit them....

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Mike just grab a nice bag at the resale/goodwill shop.

 

[Mikey P]

great idea..


hopefully a Gucci.

 

[NobleCarpetCleaners]

had those, open jet versions, plastic L shaped internal (and external), Prochem boat anchor. Can't imagine not cleaning with my Hydrokinetic and my Sapphire. I lost so many hours dinking around with chasing streaks and water squirting everywhere.

 

[Goomer]

Don't tell anyone else, but if you swap out the valve on a PMF internal tool for a 150 psi spotting machine type valve, and then crank your pressure to 250+ psi, you have yourself a handy dandy little OG hack poor-mans continuous flow upholstery tool with deeper flush capabilities if needed by using the trigger.

Of course you would also need a ball valve.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Frank I have to thank you for mentioning those ball elastic organizers. Thanks they work really well.

Can't live without those things

Once they are trimmed down to sizes better suitable for cords and hoses and such, you can never have enough of them.

You can learn a lot from a porty HACK.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I love them, use they for extension cords.

Just shows you, even a porty guy gets lucky!

 

[hogjowl]

So, you guys want bags for your upholstery tools?

Do you also have a pouch on your wand for you Fels bar?

 

[Desk Jockey]

fels bar? Hack!!!

 

[ruff]

The roo's have pouches.
And we all treat Fels as our first born.

And the people with their engineering degrees that make this stuff can't figure it out.

Wow, why didn't I think of this. Thanks, Andy! 1/4" you say. Okay, we'll give it a shot. I would really love for this to work.
