[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

I bought the 3 inch CFR handtool earlier this year and I really like it.

I understand that there are also 5" and 7" interchangeable heads. I was thinking of possibly getting both,

What do you guys think are the pros and cons of either of these adaptions? And would I also need to get new jet heads a well?

Your thought please, both positive and negative.

Thanks in anticipation.

PS Ribald answers are always enjoyed although they may not particularly solve my specific question

If you do buy the 5" and 7" heads make sure that you buy the nozzles that match as the spray pattern will be wider.

Have the 5" excellent in conjunction with 3", speeds up job.

I have always used the 3" jets with 5"tool with good results, but i think you can buy 5" jets.

i also got the 3" in with mine and then later i bought the 5", the 3 has hardly seen the light of day since. the 5" is so much quicker on larger areas without losing the moverability. can't give any advice on the 7", i'm happy with my stair tool. the 3 & 5 are interchangable without needing new jet heads.

Yeah

I'm thinking a 5 but a 7 wouldn't get used much.

I think I've lost a little red o ring on mine, is it important as it doesn't seem to make any difference?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Lucky Billy doesn't get on here often with a statement like that.

Mike, o rings just to colour code the jets instead of reading the number on the end,

I use 3" and the 5" need the 3" for ends of arms etc on upholstery. recommend both, 7" to big for upholstery imo

I use correct jets though, 95 degree for the 5" 65 for the 3

Thanks Craig

Shaun I think Billy would settle for 5" with the current climate 

[Buster Ingram]

Interesting posts guy's how much are the 5" attatchments, I had a copy made in 4" as you can see from the picture!

Looks like you need to get a wand glide the right size too!

[Nigel_W]

I have the 3,5 and 7 inch tool cfr hand tools. The 7 inch only gets used if I am cleaning very large areas of stretch fabric walling or cleaning very water sensitive carpets on my hands and knees. This is hardly ever so I would stick with the 5 inch which gets used nearly every day.

Lovely tidy van mate.

I have the CFR 5"
Just a little too big for the end of arms of settee - probably need a 3" as well for that.
7" would be good on those long pub/club type seats.

[Buster Ingram]

Jim your eye's are playing tricks mate, what you thinks a Glide is really a piece of ally angle that stops the wand sliding out the van

 Jim I saw an old school photo of you the other day here!

[Jim_77]

Oh I think there must have been some sort of error on that site, it said it found a photo but I'm not sure it's the right one
