The skinny on wands!

[Kevin. McCreary]

Hi guys new and old!! I've been out of the mix for a few years. Mostly focusing on working on the business and not in it. I've kind of lost my technical advantage from not being on the boards or being in the truck.

So tell me what's new in the world of wands. We're still using glided Prochem TI wands with the check valve jet extenders, the westpac valve and 6 11002 jets. I'm thinking about purchasing a couple of new wands in the near future and I would love to have some input.

I've seen this dev pro wand. I'm skeptical about the zipper. Also the Sapphire wand as well as the new pmf. We normally like to stick with the 2 inch wands and 13-15 inch cleaning widths.
So give me the skinny! What have I been missing??

Hey Kevin

Not much has changed in two inch scrub wands.

The Zipper is the real deal when it comes to commercial. Some even love it for resi work.

The lots of new lightweight titaniums available from Westpak, PMF and Sapphire

The radical all new Devpro is almost ready to be unveiled so your timing is good.

Who makes that Devpro?

Does it have twin headlights....backup mirrors....cup holder..........and assorted temp and rpm gauges?

 

[Nate The Great]

How's your Accelerated TM doing? Did that spot in the rental ever dry?

Hey Kevin, good to see you back!

Zipper and RE, use your TI wand for edging when needed.

Hey Kevin, good to see you back!

Zipper and RE, use your TI wand for edging when needed.

Bingo! That's it, that's all!

 

[hogjowl]

Bingo! That's it, that's all!

He already thinks everything here is all about HIM.

You're NOT HELPING!

 

[Desk Jockey]

I keep telling ya, it is all about ME.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Hahahaha! Come on Marty! He gets it right sometimes, ya just gotta give him props!

So, is this new wand from Tom going to be a swivel wand?
I met a fellow cleaner tonight who has a swivel and I fell in love with it! I don't wand very often anymore and I have a great one, the Prochem TI Ergo wand, but that swivel is amazing for getting into awkward spaces.
If there were a swivel wand with the ergo handle like mine I think it would be the bees knees of all wands. By wands I mean wands....not Zippers! That of course is a whole other animal! But I was blown away by that swivel!

 

[Mikey P]

Yes, it will have a swivle option

And you thought this thread was dead, but after nine years, the FNG wants to know:
Is there anything new in the world of wands? Seems some guys like a heavier wand and some don't.
Is titanium the way to go? I'm definitely doing RE and will look into a zipper before I actually need it....but will still need a decent wand for edging.
2 jets or 4... or 6? Flow ratings? If there's a better thread on this I apologize, I didn't see it.
Is the Evolution worth all the dough and did it live up to the hype?
Thanks fellas!

The Devastator Swivel and Sapphire Titaniums are the pinnacle these days.


The Evo flexes way to much and when no S bend is a step backwards.
