Can't Understand the Fascination with the Swivel Wand

[Joe]

Weird you ask.
I've received orders for 5 Custom VT-14 Wands already this week. 3 shipped today, DUO Joe (his brother wants one like made Joe a few years ago, the VT14x1.75), Lee from Affordable, NC (replacing his EVO16s which just bit the dust), and a guy from Islet, NY who just bot a Judson (Les referred him to me for a 10 flow). Last week was crazy too but that's behind me. Lee just called back and ordered a second VT14 Lonnng ... my guys really liked the last one.

All these guys will be asking for the WatchTower with banana swivel in a couple years according to the Prophetic one.
Go to the back of the line Brevik.

I still do not have a wand. This whole wand thing has me totally in dismay. When i was posting on MB i used to make fun of the guys for paying $1400 for a ti wand and thinking they were getting value for there dollar spent. And to think that now there is a wand on the market for $1700. I will normally look the other way on price when it comes to getting the best of the best but dam $1700 for a wand is freeking insane that any builder would have the balls to look a custy in the eyes and ask for that much money for such a simple tool. I asked on face book why he does not come on and explain where the value is and what makes it better than all other wands made. One of his cronnies replied that he does not want to deal with ---------------------- ---------- carpet cleaners. So i guess we should all just have faith and believe what we are told without input from the builder.

It took me a while to get used to it, But in crowded furnished residential I couldnt imagine life without it.
Getting around weird corners, behind doors that will only open 30%, 100% under beds without moving them.

It KILLS my wrist if I use it in wide open areas and try to keep it straight. But I have my trusty VT-14 for those situations or my Zipper.

@Joe should just put a simple lock on one to only swivel when needed. Seems easy enough in my head.

2 screws can lock it in place if you don't like the swivel, but it sure comes in handy for getting in some of those tight spaces. I love this wand.

Why would you want carpet in a bathroom and especially near a toilet? You can keep the swivel wand if that's the jobs that come with it, lol.

I have heard that some guys don't like the swivel because over time it becomes loose and you have to constantly adjust the angle you are cleaning and it starts to wear on your wrist.

My brother, a master mechanic, made a good point to me about wanting a 4 wheel drive truck. He said, sure you can have it, but remember everything fails and requires maintenance. Less parts, less maintenance.

I saw several swivel wands at the experience last week in Clearwater. The ones I picked up were real heavy. I've never used one but sounds like it would take a lot of getting used to and for the amount of times it would be needed I am not sure it is worth the cost for me.

If you're in houses with furniture it absolutely is a game changer I can clean under most beds now without moving it
