CFR will last for years unlike the plastic/nylon type ones, have had mine about 5years and always being borrowed by another cc so it get plenty of usage. The kleenright is good but powder coating comes off.

Geoff apart from trigger and hose repairs the tool treated with respect should last a lifetime. I have like Colin the 3 and 5" heads and use both on every job.

I use the 3inch. I think it'll do a better job at getting in to the nooks and grannies and the edges and curve bit on the front of the arms.
The 5inch is wider obviously so will cover a bigger area i.e. do a quicker job.
Never used the 5inch so might be ok for the nooks and grannies too.

use the 5" and when you get to a tight area hold your finger over some of the slot to reduce the size of the slot, easy,

Thanks for the advise! Bought a new cfr which was delivered yesterday, and I have just the suite to try it out on in the morning!!

well done and you won't regret it unless you're a girl and complain that your wrists ache!!!
when you've got used to it consider changing the nut that alters the vac release for a 'wing nut', much quicker to use than having to dig out a spanner,

What's the difference between CFR and Drymaster?
Apart from price.

I think that they work in a similar way but the cfr has a conventional trigger and interchangerble heads. 3, 5 and 7"

I started with a 5" and did what Colin suggested when it come to curves on arms etc.
In the end I bought a 3" as well.
Sometimes I use the 3" on the whole suite except back and sides.

i have to say that i always use the 5" but to be fair it takes around 5 seconds to change from the 5" to the 3" so the if you have the both you can swop very easily,
