TI Wand question

[Louis]

I am using a ti wand that I borrowed from another cleaner for a big job and he is selling it too. It seems heavy. I think the tube is stainless. Did they make a ti wand that was not all Titanium that was cheaper.
I have never cleaned with a ti and only looked at them and wished I had one.


Thank You

I dont get it.

He's asking if the Ti wand came in stainless


And the answer is no.

As for cheaper, I bought mine off Joe Domin when he stopped by one of our local distributors in that big straight truck they have all the units in. That was not long after they started selling the TI wands, though, and right before a rather sizeable price increase.

I think they are around 9 pounds. Any pics.?

it is my understanding that they did make some with the tube out of stainless...It has been a few years sense I have been in my local Interlink but I remember seeing one there....made it cheaper and raised the price..........and it is much heaver..........

Actually there are some Titanium wands out there with steel tubes and Ti heads.


They had issues with them coming apart so don't.

It's about 10lbs. I guess after 9000 sf of cleaning everything seems heavy. I use a pc quad all day so this was nice to have today.

The welds look good, but the tube feels heavy.

i too was going to buy a stainless tube titanium head wand and was advised by many not to. :wink:

At 10 lbs, it's not any lighter than your Quad jet. Put them both on a scale.

I assume it has a glide, same as your quad?

With a glide and some checks, a "regular" Ti wand is about 10 lbss, are you sure it has the SS tube?

A Greenhorn only weighs about 10.5

I've never seen a Ti wand head WELDED to a SS tube, always just three little screws.

 

[Louis]

no screws at all. All welded. Damm my quad is a boat anchor. Put them side by side, the ti is huge and is so much lighter.

So what would be a good deal for this with a real gg hole glide on it?

I've got 2 ti's and one of them has a very thin stainless tube, no screws. The end where you hook up the hose gets bent slightly when dropped or closed in a door. The heads and jet manifolds are identical but the tubes have a slightly different bend, they are the same length.

 

[Greenie]

Hmm......sounds like Prochem found a market for all the Bi-Ti wands they took back.

Does Your SS one look like they cut off 2" of the bottom of the tube, and stuck it back in the head, and had it welded?

ie: is it 2" shorter?

 

[Louis]

I put my quad next to it and they are the same, except the ti is taller.

 

[Greenie]

How bout you Jess E?

your Ti a bit short as well?

I just looked, and the stainless tubed one is shorter. I always thought it just had a different bend, which it does just slightly.
