Who has 2 thumbs & 12 inches...

[Meter Maid]

of Devastator wand?

Yep, me.

Question: I’m assuming the outside jets are supposed to be at an angle? The inside jets are parallel with the glide slots, the outside jets are at about a 30 degree angle.

 

[Trip Moses]

Yes.

 

[Meter Maid]

Yes.

Thanks.

 

[Trip Moses]

Thanks.

It’s about time you bought that wand.

 

[Meter Maid]

It’s about time you bought that wand.

I guess. It’s definitely solid.

 

[Trip Moses]

Have you used it yet? You’ll think you bought a bigger TM.

 

[Meter Maid]

No, I’m still waiting for the tapered whip. I have no 1.5 inch anything. Maybe a 2”-1.5” adapter.

 

[Trip Moses]

You’ll be glad you spent the money when you can use it. Weird the whip didn’t ship with it.

 

[Meter Maid]

It apparently comes from a different place.

 

[Trip Moses]

Are you wishing you bought the 2 inch now?

 

[Meter Maid]

Kinda... hopefully the whip will arrive soon and this little wand will kick ass.

 

[sassyotto]

thats one reason I didnt get the 12 - hated the whip hose.

 

[Papa John]

Fuk me!
I just ordered one too.
I hope i like the expensive wand.
It was really frustrating working with my POS mytee swivel Bentley wand today.
It was leaking air and practically had no bite.

 

[Mikey P]

Leave the jets as is. PERFECTION

Use an 8ft 1.5 whip

My mach 12 has plenty of bite. Mikey says this one is better and swivels to boot. I have only used a friend's 14/2 devastator on a couple of jobs, best wand I have ever used. If the 12/1.5 measures up to what Mikey and others say, I'm sure you will be happy. It will be my next purchase.

Spray the swivel with a little wd-40. It will losen up faster.

Good Lord, don't do that.

Stiff is better.



@FredC please fix his account so that he of all people can not give mechanical advise....

Stiffer sucks.

Stiffer sucks.

I would not touch a straight line like that for a week on the beach.

he's still in his 40s .....
he'll think different in 20 years when hanging a bath towel is no longer routine.....

..L.T.A.

I'm thinking about just using this 2"-1.5" reducer I just found and connecting 2" inch hose to it, since I don't have the whip, or any 1.5" hose.

There's actually a youtube video of a guy using a whip and then connecting 2" directly to the wand via the reducer. You could hear the difference for what that's worth.

I honestly have never minded 2" to the wand, but I also go potty standing up.

 

[Mikey P]

Dont do that.


Ruins the balance of that wand in more ways than 1, us a 8' whip.

 

[SamIam]

Buy a 1 1/2 inch vinyl cuff and hook your 2 inch cuff over it most possible vacuum ever who need a whip

 

[SamIam]

Lose the whip. I actually need a new whip

 

[SamIam]

Cause this whip is kinky

 

[Meter Maid]

Dont do that.

How does it lose balance over simply using a 2”-1.5” vinyl cuff at the wand opening? Even with a whip, you have to reduce from 2”-1.5” at some point, right?

That’s what I have, a 2”-1.5” vinyl cuff connected to the actual wand end. The 2” house connected directly to the wand that way.

I think Mikey is talking more about the physical balance, having a heavy, awkward 2 inch hose hooked up.
