He did 2700 ft and 3 staircase of wool wtw while I slung my SStudebaker hand tool on 15 plus pieces of REAL expensive furniture .

Tomorrow we go back for a garage floor, 100 plus feet of slate and some wood as well.

praise the lord Keith Studebaker came out with his ultralite uph tool.

I would have been miserable with any other.


The Vortex ran nonstop for over 9 hours, not a break, not a glitch, we were shocked when with just one chair frame and 4 steps to go the tank finally filled up and shut down


Good thing nothing was real dirty.



this satin had some funny blue lines that caught me off guard for a sec. I thought I caused it as it took me so long to notice it.

Upon closer inspection the wear and blue threads were quite prominent


Strange..

Just finished almost 400 student and office chairs last week with my trusty old PC upholstery tool. It was pre-spray, a little agitation, extraction, and wiping down all the non-fabric parts.....assembly line style. Oh, and throw in almost 20,000 sf carpet tiles. Lot's of Advil consumed.

Robert you just made my elbow hurt. I love that PC tool and it will still be around long after I'm deep in the ground (probably still making my elbow hurt) but it's too damn heavy. I can clean with the Sapphire for hours and not get sore like the heavier tools. I cleaned all the upholstery in my home last Saturday I love the light weight and easy cleaning of the Sapphire. Although I cussed the High Heat Butler a few times, when I got the boiling hot lava solution on me. That dude smokes!!! My upholstery never looked better! :icon_cool:

Mikey, your lead hose on your upholstery tool looks like 1.5" . You might consider 1.25' hose with cuff that fits 1.5" tool--I find it much lighter, flexible, more maneuverable.

I've been in and out of thousands of homes and have never rung up a resi bill anywhere near that. That's a great day at the office in any line of work, great job!
