Re: Mytee wand Assist Handle

Maybe we can pool our money together to get 20.00 to buy one and then will auction it of to the highest bidder like the SS Tool Very Happy

Did I say carbon fiber? My bad I meant structural plastic.

Dave by the looks of that pic do you think Joe's handle angles back towards the user more?

by Davey Cracker Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:06 pm

Yes, I think Joe's is more angled.

So there's no Carbon handle?...........Damnit, you had me excited! laughing

by Mo Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:48 pm

You know they'll becoming out with one now don't you.

I was on the Mytee site this and saw aluminum handle for a 1.75 inch wand for eight bucks and now its gone. So they eyes are upon us Shocked

by Davey Cracker Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:06 pm

Carbon, I'm sure is only a matter of time. This industry only seems to be couple years behind, so how much longer could it really be?....Since carbon is used in just about eventing else now.

Yo my buddy DP did you get a chance to order that Mytee handle?

http://www.cobbcarpet.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=4995

I ordered one. I know it would be better that the regular VT wand handle I have. But just curious if Joes is better that way you guys can order Joes instead

by Davey Cracker Fri Nov 07, 2014 11:13 pm

I was cleaning today and thought about were a good position for the grip to be in. It does look like Joes design has the handle pointing towards the user more than the Mytee but I can't tell.

Mytee also make a aluminum handle for their bently wand the handle doesn't look very comfy though

Dam good idea with the auto tilt option Rob.

Ken, Call Joe to get his handle

from what I can tell in the picture....I think Mytee's is bent back a little bit more...
which is the same one Cobb is selling...Mine has been on my wand since January of 2012....made of light weight carbon....

It looked like to me from thee pic you posted? Mytees handle is also a plastic material. I wonder where this "carbon" stuff is coming from??.............a carbon handle would be a lot more than $20! wink

Yes for sure. Which is one of the best things about it, it's stealth racy look. dancing

Ok, ordered one, and about lunch, I'll pay lunch if my $ 36 debt is forgiven, lmao.

by Davey Cracker Sat Nov 08, 2014 12:16 am

Nope sorry, I owe, you owe! LOL

Lunch will be every man for himself laughing

by Mo Sat Nov 08, 2014 9:10 am

You guys always argue about who.s going to pay at Taco Bell Very Happy

I ordered the Mytee one I should get it next week. Ill make the comparison with the VT handle and Mytee handle and weigh both to see what the difference is there

by dp1 Sat Nov 08, 2014 9:53 pm

That's the problem, Mr. Cracker always want to eat at 5 stars restaurant, he's a high maintenance cleaner ! LOL
Alright, I'll pay if we eat around whittier Razz

by Davey Cracker Sat Nov 08, 2014 10:28 pm

See, that's what's called sales!.........now he's willing to pay for my lunch! laughing

by Mo Sun Nov 09, 2014 9:18 am

You have Taco Bell sales skills Dave. He took me out to lunch were the waitresses were smoking hot. DP was that actually a restaurant Very Happy

by Mo Wed Nov 12, 2014 5:12 pm

I received the assist handle from Cobbs today. They sent me the wrong size. I think this one is for a 1.5 inch wand. This thing is huge compared to the stock handle. I doubt if its going to be lighter. Ill see if I can put them on the scale tomorrow. It definitely angels back towards the operator.

by SCCC Wed Nov 12, 2014 11:17 pm

Boy that looks awful BIG and kinda bulky looking, I thought it would be a little sleeker looking than that.
Look forward to your review on it though it maybe more comfortable and I guess that matters but it just looks awful big to me.

by SCCC Wed Nov 12, 2014 11:19 pm

Is that really 1.5 handle

by Jim Martin Thu Nov 13, 2014 4:16 am

I have been using mine for a long long time and it is a much nicer handle...the curve back makes a difference when holding the wand...

it is lighter then the metal handle that I replaced it with......

by Mo Thu Nov 13, 2014 8:02 am

I have a 2" tube I couldn't get it on. I didn't take the other one off so that might be why it looks even bigger.

Take more pics of both later.

Dave have you received the loaner that DP bought to compare it to Joes handle

by dp1 Thu Nov 13, 2014 8:27 am

I haven't received it yet Mo, I think I might have to send it to him since we both are solid booked now.

by Davey Cracker Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:45 pm

I don't have it,

DP is it for a 2" wand??

by Mo Thu Nov 13, 2014 9:09 pm

I think we could all agree the Mytee Ergonomic handle is bulkier than the original stock VT handle. I suspect it would be more comfortable then the stock handle. Still need to weigh both handles. Which one do you guys think will weigh more?

I know the stock crap handle is 15.7 oz.....and I'd guess they mytee is slightly less.

Mo, do you have a food scale to weigh them?.....I know Joe's is about 4 oz lighter than the stock even tho about double the size.

BTW looks like your solution hose is about a foot too long! LOL

by Mo Thu Nov 13, 2014 9:22 pm

No I don't have one. Ill take it ti the supermarket then.

How much does the Wanders handle weigh? If the Mytee handle only weighs slightly less it better more ergonomic. Im all for using anything that will help reduce wear and tear on the body. Unfortunately I won't know until I get the right size.

The solution hose fit better when I had it tied down with velcro. Call Wanders and complain Very Happy
