If they could just make it with a 2 inch tube so we don't have to switch cuffs.

Yes I have one I don't use. PM me if you are wanting it. i am across the water from you
The sapphire tool(upholstery) has a ten foot whip hose 1.5", I have to unscrew the 2" cuff and put on a reducer to use it. Take 20 seconds, kinda dumb and a pain...
Just stick the 1.5 cuff in your 2" cuff..

I may have posted the wrong one.....I'll check later when I can see it bigger... but I used something very similar on my 2" cuff to 1.5" upholstery tools

Yes the SS upholstery tool does hook to either 1.5" inside the hose connector - 2" hose slips over the connector...
@anon I've had a vac attack adapter back when Greenie was around..... It basically seemed like fence post pipe that was glued into a 1.5" cuff.... They did have a bad run of 1.5" cuffs back then, but I've had cuffs laying around so I just shoved the fence post pipe in it and called it good....

Maybe you guys should think about using a 1.5 in wand. I went to a 2in for a while and found that my drying times were not noticeably different. If your lucky, maybe 1/2-1hr better. It wasn't worth the hassle of fighting with the hose, particularly in tight areas. As you get older and get more aches and pains, you appreciate ease of use over increased drying times. I see the benefit on tools like the zipper and rotary tools but as for wanding, I'll stick with my 1.5 and switch to my upholstery/edging/stair tool with ease, thanks.

Hey Ron, how long is your 1.5" hose?

I vary between 10 and 20 ft. I like 10 for regular wanding and 20 for stairs. The 20 reaches the top of an average 13 step staircase. I don't bother changing in homes but when I do multiple staircases I go with the 20ft.

I don't have to switch cuffs for any tool. I fix an adapter which enlarges the tube and the connector fits right on. My 1.5" stair wand go straight into my 2" vac. I put a permanent 1 1/2" to 2" rubber coupler on then Joes fitting.
I'm going to patent the idea and under cut Chavez by hundreds.

Too late, I just did.

Next stop, Tahiti.

I found a couple of these in my garage and tried them out - it was miserable, was constantly wanting to come off, had to adjust it all the time... The part that goes on the wand doesnt seem long enough to stay in place, I had to grip it while cleaning to hold it in place.

Not what I'm using. The only tool I still have left that needs an adaptor is my stair tool. I glued the correct hose cuff on it first then the outside diameter is 2". All my tools have Joes 2" starter. My hose has the female on the end. I tried the male straight over the tube but it locked down so hard you couldn't get it off.
