How many of you cut your teefs on this wand.
The internal flux is disappointing..

one came with the PM .
Got a couple hundred hours on them.
It's a flush monster , but too many warts to be a "regular everyday" wand.
Jet distortion on many cut piles.
Straight wand/no S-bend
The steel supply line will fry your skin
(any manufacture that uses steel supply lines should be beat with a rake handle)
Not the best for dry times
Rocks for blasting gum or candle wax out. (if your TM will make a minimum of 240)
Or a ratty chit-pit salvage rag (speeds up production in that scenario due to mega flush and heat)
not good for everyday res where a sledgehammer isn't needed and not the best dry times either
..L.T.A.

no
It's not a terribly hard wand to push like the Ti
It was a niche purpose wand on the truck for salvage rags and/or lots of gum/wax.
a glide would make it less useful for that

And possibly more useful for general rinsing?
This particular wand's (brass) flood jet was severly worn. While the soray pattern spread rhe full 12", it only had impact in the center, roughly 5" wide.
Im pretty sure they included it as a do it all wand, and maybe a (new) stainless jet andba Glide would achieve that

I would have offered to buy it, if not for all that flux..

it's a characteristic of flood jets in general when you stretch them wide from my experience.
multiple Tee and Vee jets are much better mousetrap
tile/fake wood? maybe/prob'ly??...donno
if needing a flush monster more than a little for carpet, wouldn't a rotary extractor be the better tool?

I have around 4 yrs using the Steamway wand from back in the day.
Was happy when I jumped over to the PMF 802.
It was a flushing machine for sure. If hooked up to water it was fine.
I also experienced a ton of the distortion on certain carpets.
High flow really kept the kerosene burner roaring.

Brass jet?

how many flood jet wands have you used in the "reel-world"?
are there any other wands that use a flood jet?
(PMF's 4" "gum getter" doesn't count)
and what's the difference in a brand new brass jet vs stainless?
They both start out the same and neither are ideal when spread that wide

The weight and the wand lips pinching in at the middle. The flood jet worked pretty good.
