If there’s no power and the customer isn’t patient, then put on an old wore out slotted glide or look for a cheap aw29 with no glide.

I have a 10 inch wand I bought from Brevick like 25 years ago. He claimed it was a Prochem wand. It has no lips on it like a Hydra Hoe but the single tip is very close to the carpet and is very easy to move on all types of carpet. I used it to clean wool rugs. If you mean new wands, disregard my response.

Seriously? You can’t figure out what “no lips” means?
Check yourself home boy


A Conway/Dang, FMT or Joe wand will have flat 1/4' aluminum exposed=unusable

A PMF wand that has the REMOVABLE lips taken off will have rough 1.44mm sheet metal exposed+unusable unless you want to pull only in an effort to fluff up matted poly

A Glideless Westpack will all have rounded/folded fully usable steel or titanium exposed

A EVO will have a 1.5" flat aluminum block=unusable

A SharpShooter will have a mess plastic blob block= unusable

An (retired) Prochem Quad or Ti will have cast (huge) lips that are usable


I could go on but the only choice in a new wand with the option you're looking for are Westpaks, which is what I told you when you brought this (stupid) idea up with me on the phone

A little positive feedback for you on the flat front slotted glide Ti wand.

It grabs the carpet much more than the previous green glide, which I think is good.

The only reason you're feeling a grab more sensation is because it's new. the interface is exactly the same but as a GG wears in they become easier and easier to push as the Teflon essentially glazes over..
