What is the "go to" non-rotary hard surface wand nowadays?. We've always carried Gekko 4 Jet T&G wands in addition to our rotary tools but I hate the damn things. Is there a good alternative around? I'm not looking for a carpet wand that can have a brush glide slid off and on. More for a dedicated hard surface wand.

Mike's hard surface wand is saweet. Although I have nothing else to compare it to, it's the only thing I've ever cleaned hard surfaces with aside from occassional wood floors with a 175.

Should I get a spinner at some point? Or can I really clean any hard surface well with the right chemistry, scrubbing, and Mike's hard surface wand?

I hate the word “game changer,” but this Green Glide Hard Surface Tool has seriously up'd my game. Not many trades or service businesses can say a new tool pays for itself after one job, but in the cleaning industry, we’re lucky like that. This one more than paid for itself the first time it came off the van. Highly recommended.

I ordered one two weeks ago, and it arrived fairly quick. In total, it was just under $1000.00 cdn

$500 U.S. is $700 Canadian plus 15% tax on everything we buy plus duties etc . But hey we got free medical except for the fact the 35 % of the population do not have a family doctor and have no hope of ever getting one.

I wouldn't get wound up over that. That's a 50/50 good thing. I have one, I go to him after blowing a tire
in my ear, he looks in and says my ear is full of wax. Writes me a prescription for ghost drug. I was in his office for 10 minutes.

CJ is concerned about the durability of the split ring swivel, how are you all managing with yours?


Would you pay $500 more for a Devastator type (heavier) swivel?

It’s not bashing a devastatir

But there’s no need to worry about that swivel. My swivel is ancient and it works fine. I had my tile wand for several years before the 12” version came out. I just bought the head and it works fine. The only thing that needed to be addressed is the brush ring around it. Did you find a better way to prevent that from falling off? I had to tap a screw on mine

Just buy Mikeys tile wand and then you can find something else to bitch about.

My tile wand from Mike works great. The brush head does slide off occassionally but is easy to tap back in place. What's the trick to making the brush head look as clean as Nick's? Mine is wretched...
