Wands
« on: September 14, 2014, 08:38:19 pm »
Im thinking of getting a new wand to improve the ease of work and mainly my dry times. I have been considering the following.

The Wonder Wand

The Mytee Bently Wand

The Evolution Wand

The 2 Jet Westpack Wand (sold by solutions)
and

The 4 Jet Westpac Wand  (sold by both solutions and cleansmart)

For those with experience of any of the above what would you get?

I think that wands are always a personal choice but I have the Bentley wand, a 13 inch evo wand  and both Westlpac wands.  I personally use the evo wand most of the time but have pimped mine out. I have replaced the black Teflon glide with a green glides and added a 5 jet spray bar instead of 2. I use this wand as it's light and due to having shoulder and hand problem ( broke most of  bones in right hand) find the 1.5 size a lot easier on my body after a long days work. I get good dry times. The only problem is it marks up something terrible. The Bentley wand is nice and light as well but I found the original spray manifold a joke and ordered a different  spray bar from America. I stopped using the 2inch wand due to it aggravating my hand to much due to the larger grip . I did not like the weight or balance of the 2 jet westpac tbh. The 4 jet westpac has great recovery although I have a green glide on it. Again I found the original spray manifold to be a bit useless and leaked something rotten.
I've never used the wonder jet tho but have been told it is a bit heavy and sticks to the carpet if being used with a tm.

Cfr wand is rubbish on a tm as stayed above, I have a mytee wand and good but it's not made for tall people it's quite a small wand which is a shame because it's quite nice. The Evo wand would be my choice but it's not cheap.

I have three westpaks and as I am near to 6ft 5 its ideal for me ! My back used to ache like msd when I used a standard swan neck twin jet

If you have 2'' bore hose then my preferred wand is the Ti wand with teflon glide, light and my workhorse.

I use a portable so I suppose I'm looking for the best possible wand for a portable.

Another option is a stryker wand. I have the sapphire upholstery tool which is great but haven't herd much about the stryker apart from what I have read on TMF where they hate it because they say the jets clog easily. Has any one tried the stryker wand?

I didn't get a new wand in the end I just got a glide. All I can say is why didn't I get one earlier? Its probably the best purchase I have made this year.

The Evolution Wand is the best IMO.

Since I bought an EVO wand, I hardly ever use anything else.

He gets the metal made in his native Vietnam ( but hey , westpak is made in china )
... the valves are DAM ..
quality ... same as whatever ashbys etc has to me  ...

shipping ... email for quote , also ask for usps quote if u are in no hurry .

Thanks john
In regards to glides for their wands would a standard green glide fit these as I know they supply glides but not sure which ones

There is no such thing as a 'standard' Greenglide .  Each glide is made for a specific type of wand.
