The Keeper

[Meter Maid]

Got my second new wand of the week and it’s the one I’m been waiting for. Just cleaned my living room with it, which is where I test the plethora of wands I’ve bought in less than two years, and it’s a winner.

Anybody want a good deal on a barely used Mach 12 2”?

 

[Meter Maid]

Or a really used Bentley? Or an Evolution?

Yeah this is Joe’s version, the only thing he uses from the original dang is the head from what I understand, he gets his tubes from a different source.

The swivel isn’t as stiff as my 12 inch Devastator but a lot tighter than the Bentley.

 

[Meter Maid]

I got a short slotted glide and a large holed glide, called ultra holed. The holes are about 33% larger than a standard glide. I’m actually pretty sold on that, the holes are still large enough to pick up small debris, but it’s really smooth to push around.

How would you feel about pulling a ball bearing out of a race and letting me see it

I’ll do it if you buy my brand new Mach 12 for $700.

Here’s the ultra holed glide.

Those end slots will be a pita

Why?

Those end slots will be a pita

How?

 

[hogjowl]

They leave lines

 

[Lee Stockwell]

It seems the side cut would minimize that.

 

[Meter Maid]

I haven’t seen any lines, but that glide sure does edge well.

 

[Cleanworks]

They leave lines

Not if you groom

I just ordered the slotted version last week.

Do you ever camp out there?

Naw..


Too easy to come home to you idiots and my two ft thick mattress.

"Camping" at my cabin is enough for me

Larger holes are nothing but a drill bit away

a "standard" glide uses a 4mm hole

that glide uses a 5mm hole

Will it become board de jour when some (re)discover a 300mm slot

Apparently he’s making a glide with even larger holes. The one on top will be the hole size.

Have you ever thought about testing a hole glide with fewer but much larger holes?

slotted glide

Seems like the holes do something different though.

The pile distortion will be crazier than him.
