What's your favorite stair tool?

[Dan]

I have an old Hydramaster stair tool and pmf. Kinda looking around for something smaller for wrap around staircases but not an upholstery tool.

These look a lot a like but the jets on the last one works best better spray pattern great for cleaning noses also use a small 1.5 inch whip with it to do stairs.

Had a pmf and a prochem 30 inch tool not impressed this is fast and easy.

Going to switch jets and see how that works! Both run 6 flow.

I remember I really use to like my PMF 40 inch tool for cleaning but it is to damn long. I was thinking of cutting it down. Hydramaster tool is pretty good. I would like to find one that doesn't need a whip hose.

I have two of Greenies, I like his first style the most -without the spray guard-.

Actually they are 3 flow my bad and the whip with the 1.5 inch cuff sealed with the hand is great for drying the nose. 2 inch and you better make sure you dry it well with your tool, we have a lot of beveled noses here.

I won't argue that. Just want to drag the least amount possible in and out of the job and still be effective at cleaning.

Dan, I never found one I liked better than the simple short 6" pmf tool for stairs. I take the handle off, gives me more maneuverability.
Yes, you have to be on your knees, but you actually keep your back straight, which to me is much more important. One can always use knee pads.

I could never understand those that use an upholstery tool for stairs, it's like playing with a toy.
