What is the best wand for me to buy?

[truckmount girl]

Sapphire wands are Westpaks. Westpak is consistent and stable.

I like Prochems, CMP's and Westpaks. PMF's have great quality and consistency but are a bit behind the times design-wise.

Take care,

Does his stuff last? Or is it crap?

Never used his stuff.

Back on topic

The best wand is a wand that you will use because of performance of use,end result, and longevity of the tool.

Try before you buy I would recommend as different guys like different wands because of their height,build and different wanding techniques that are engrained in them like breathing or driving and are hard to change

Never used his stuff.

I've read some good feedback on his products about quality and from what I see its a well made wand.. and for the price its well worth it. I don't know about the other stuff they are talking about, so I guess ignorance is bliss?

 

[dealtimeman]

Well I have heard a lot of bad and I am pretty sure MIKEY just wants to protect other members from all of the previous bad history to come from this guy.

More of a warning of sorts as supposedly this guy has screwed a lot of people and In bad ways that I will not go I to details here.

His stuff is EXTREMELY inconsistent. It's like he uses a different factory for every batch of wands. I have given up trying to fit glides for them because every wand is different. Weld quality is an ongoing issue too.

PMF offers the above combination as well.

Do you think the sapphire wand for $300 or hold out for the pmf? Titanium or stainless has better suction? I'm thinking stainless because of the weight.

 

[Mikey P]

metallurgy does not increase or decrease "suction", instead pay attention to the design where the tube joins the head

Sapphire or the ones you recommended?

 

[Mikey P]

I didnt really recommend a wand in this thread.

My personal favorite is the Prochem Titanium, but at $1200 it may be a bit out of your budget.

Especially after you ad another $200 for a glide, $60 for check valves and $40 for a soft touch trigger.

Jake;

For a #36 blower, I would recommend a moderate priced 12" wand . . .

These are the two models we like . . .

larry are you really suggesting to this guy that he buy a bentley wand?

 

[Mikey P]

I think I heard that thread Bentley will finally get a new head and spray system and it will be unveiled at some trade show next year

What ever you do do not buy the old design.

 

[Mike Draper]

why would they do that if the one they currently sell is amazing and does not streak?

 

[Desk Jockey]

It certainly would match the look of the home built, and might actually be a good match. ???? I'd try several wands out before you purchase, unless your distributor has a return policy.

As many here will tell you they have several wands that they own but were not exactly what they thought they were going to be. Nothing worse than spending $400.00-$1,200.00 and being disappointed in how it actually handles.

lol..

If you consider that pos "Amazing", I'm going to have to seriously reconsider your go to status.


Other than great suction it's a base board washing, stair browning, short reach turd that seriously needs wings and a whole new manifold design.

 

[Mike Draper]

I have 2 ergo Ti wands and that new wand you like. BTW, what model wand is that? Its the ultimate apartment wand. I dont vac apartments and its great.

Be careful who you buy from on Ebay.
