I got tired of the westpak tile junk wand. And my uph tool needed to be upgraded and we all need an extra stair tool.
Thanks PMF for the awesome tools

That is about the badest ass stair tool ever. I got the straight one, 1530, I gotta check that one out you got. I use it as my vacuum before my greenglide destroys it.

You would get use to it after a couple of days and never go back if the position is right.
I like to blast concrete floors
The standard 1200psi wand triggers aren’t enough for a hard surface wand

That tile wand looks interesting
It impressed me enough to order it. I think they’re upping their game on competing with the flavor of the month tools.

The upholstery tool is one of my favorites but have to say, I am loving my sapphire upholstery tool.
What is the part number on the hard surface wand?
W15904DB-SV with high pressure CAT valve

I use to have the hard surface wand
I could make a handsom profit selling it.
Have they moved the manifolds out of the head yet?

The wand trigger on the Stanley wand is rated at 5000 psi.
First things I've had to do to these tools to make them perform:
-Remove the rubber lips on the tile wand. It prevents proper extraction because it pushes the treatment away from the tool
- Order the high pressure valve (due to truck mount heat damaging the stock valve) with the upholstery tool and goop the hell out of it all around the holes from the valve and where the jet goes inside of it. PMF...you really need to redesign this tool to prevent air leakage. I know this because my old internal jet tool doesn't use the internal valve setup and the hole that the jet goes through is designed smaller to not affect any vac loss. If you look at the picture of the upholstery tool above, you can see all the open leak areas I'm talking about

I still haven’t even got it out of the trailer, so I wouldn’t know. I might give it a go when school starts and see if I can do something with it
We’re janitors over here, after all.

Now I got the DBL plumbed up and it is just awesome.
My tip would be ditch the handles on the PMF1530 and DBL
BTW, PMF haa the best cuffs and joiners. The joiners are stainless and no air leaks, black soft rubber cuffs. Stay together and are simple. Stainless joiners are precision.

I agree with the cuffs and joiners. Nothing's better than those
I wasn't saying they were a bad product. I'm enjoying the tile wand after I adjusted it. And I'm a little disappointed with the upholstery tool, but it cleans great now. I was more frustrated how they were trying to compete with the plastic tools from HM and SS by making the valve more internal. It just seems like an unfinished product they decided to put out in the market for us to deal with
The internal valve option on the upholstery tool is a joke. It leaks so much air, causing terrible cleaning and dry time. I tried gooping it, then had to replace the valve with a high pressure/high temp because they didn’t listen to me when I said I use a truckmount. When I replaced it, I broke the jet trying to screw everything together. So I said F@$? It and just ordered another one that wasn’t internal valve.
Don’t get the internal valve model. It leaks air
The second pic is the external valve model that works properly

How's the long term fatigue from that style tile wand? Also why did you goop the jet hole I didn't personally feel like mine leaked enough there to matter. I don't see where you gooped the valve portion. Am I missing something?
I gooped the valve portion also. The goop wasn’t there when I took it apart. If the valve portion was sealed up better, there’s be no need to goop the jet hole. It’s just an incomplete design. Or better to say unfinished. It has potential, just needs more than just a quick cut in the metal for the valve.

Oh yea I remember you explaining that now. You're right weird design on that one for sure. Love the pmf tools they're great. Appreciate you're recommendations on them bro.
