Also move your assist handle all the way up to near the bend. But, like you said whatever works for you. I just mail it to Tim today.( I've been so busy) and he should get it Wednesday. I included the 12ft leader solution hose leader and the 12in solution hose leader. So he can try it each way. Enjoy and have fun with it and report back. - Dave

Did you send it USPS or UPS?

This is Toms pic. So the 45 degree is at the back of the wand not the front.

So far out of three people that have tried this tool I am the only one that has bought one so far.

I know for sure that Dave didn't like the price point and felt is was too bulky. Dave C now that Royal Man has made the cleaners lounge members reduced pricing public I can tell you that I paid 200.00 for the wand-eeze

Tom liked it but not enough to buy one.

Ups delivered it to me this afternoon. I have it installed on my wand and ready to try it out tomorrow. I had to make a few tweeks to make it work but its ready to go.

Sweet!!

Let me know if you have any questions. I sent a 12" and a 12 ft soultion line so you can try each way. You can also locate the grip 2" from the end,of the tube all the way to the bend and adjust your assist handle acordingly. Remember to keep the angle around 45° . Play with it. Hold it at a,comfortable level. You dont have to hold it up higher than normal. Enjoy and contact me anytime.

by TimM Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:28 pm

the 12" hose you sent had the wrong size fitting to attach to the handle, so I just hooked up my own to make it work.

by Mo Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:39 pm

The only problem with the 12' solution is that you need to roll it and wrap it up. I have no problem cleaning with it.

It would seem to me if you're going to use a 12 inch leader hose you may as well just go with a QD at the tool??

by Davey Cracker Thu Jul 09, 2015 8:18 pm

That's my thought as well.

No way was I going to have a 12' hose permanently attached to my wand, and the 12" seems pointless.

by Mo Thu Jul 09, 2015 8:47 pm

I do need to change the way I hang the wand on the ceiling of the van the hooks didn't work with the wand-eeze added.

I think Ill get those straps at HD that Mark was talking about.

by Royal Man Thu Jul 09, 2015 8:57 pm

Connecting QC straight to the gun gets in the way. The 12" line allows you to place the QC out of the way. The 12ft line drops the weight of the QC and Shutoff valve to the ground.Making less top weight. Use it either way, Wrapping takes two seconds. Use it either way to choose your prefference. That is the beauty. You can choose monting location. Grip angle and solution leader lenght to dial in in for YOUR needs.

I just put my quick connect right on the wand with out a leader hose. It just seems kind of funny worrying about a few ounces of the quick connect and your shut off being right on the wand versus not.

by Mo Fri Jul 10, 2015 6:48 am

Yes experiment with it Tim but make sure you try it with the whip too to see what you think of it.

Go with the Quick Fist clamps.....really impressed by them on the project truck.

Thanks Mil the reason I like the hooks is that I don't have to climb in the van to remove or put the wand back

Maybe Dave is now getting use to this no "leader" way, since I'm not the only one to not like that leader hose deal.
Hopeful so, and no more lashing out. wink

It is what it is. Saving a couple ounces, when you're adding a couple pounds isn't worth the inconvenience of having your QD and shut off valve 12 feet away.

And having a 12' hose always attached to your wand. Rolling Eyes

So you liked it better without the lead hose? You didn't feel or notice a difference with out it? I haven't tried it without it.

I always think things threw, usually too much by over thinking them...........but with a lil thought it wasn't hard to know the "leader hose" wasn't for me......but I'm just weird, like the last two guys to try it, right. pirat

I didn't want to have to walk away from wand to connect/disconnect hose, or have that added hose always connected to it.......

Great, thanks!! wink

by Mo Fri Jul 10, 2015 9:00 pm

Yeah your weird but not because you don't like the lead hose.

But if you liked it better with out the lead hose and its not needed why even use it. As soon as I get some time to play with my toys Ill take it off to see if I feel any difference.
