I am trying to get some input on Hard Surface Spinners. I currently have a Hydro-Force AW-42. I am wearing out the Brush bottom ring (due to a lot of concrete floor work lately on fire damages) Wondering if I were to look at buying another spinner what insight everyone could give me from their experience. This one seems a bit light duty for me.
Thanks!

Mark, AW42 is the part number for the Turbo spinner tool. They used to be sold by HydroForce but no longer made. We do have replacement brushes available.
The current version of the Turbo spinner tools has a lower profile by about 1 1/4" so it gets under the toe kick and other low places. The Turbo is designed to move side to side like a rotary machine.
The newest version of the SX-12 is lower than in the past, but still not as low as the Turbo. The center of the SX-12 has been reinforced to keep it from uscking down to the floor. The spinner valve on the SX-12 can be rebuilt instead of replaced and the spinner is an expensive part when it needs to be replaced. I think the valve on the SX-12 is a
superior product to the one used by Turbo. The handle on the SX-12 is intended to be used in a forward and back motion like a vacuum cleaner. However, both machines can be manuvered in either fashion. The handle on the SX-12 will flex more than the Turbo when moving side to side. Some may see this as being not as strong, but really just a different design. The SX-12 has two vac hoses compared to the Turbo's one. This gives
superior vacuum and less chance of loss of vacuum from a vac hose getting plugged up.
In my experience, those who are used to using a rotary or side to side swing machine tend to prefer using the Turbo. Those who have not used the swing machine find it easier to learn to use the SX-12.
Properly used, the Sx-12 will require less repair of movinf parts and hoses, but it can be damged if it is thrown around or has other equipment piled on top of it.
Your distributor should be able to let you try one out before you decide.
