Upholstery Tool Recommendations
« on: November 22, 2012, 11:27:32 am »
I've been using a Kleenrite Upholstery tool for the last number of years until it finally disintegrated yesterday!

I've bought a new “Easy-grip” stainless steel upholstery tool from prochem so I could be back in operation for Christmas.

My questions are as follows -

Can the Prochem Sapphire Upholstery Pro Hand Tool be used with a portable?
Can anyone recommend what upholster tool do they use?

Thanks

The sapphire can be used with both tm's and portable, brilliant tool.

I still use my old Drimaster but I hear the Sapphire has the added advantage of lockable trigger ....... so best of both worlds  ;)

I like the CFR 3"... very versatile and well constructed, you can buy additional nozzles to suit the job you are working on.. i use this tool a lot, i also have the 5" version too

Just looked up the CFR. Looks nice if a little expensive.

I have the drimaster and a cfr

Gotta say I wouldn't be without either but the cfr is more versatile

I've had the sapphire and didn't like it IMO it didn't clean deep enough.

Is the CFR the same as the Drimaster with the
exception that it as on one vac slot whereas the
DM has two?
I have the DM but to buy new the CFR is considerably
cheaper for the omission of a vac slot.
