Title: CFR - nipple and coupler parts. Bad design
Post by: Carpet Dawg on July 05, 2013, 10:48:01 pm

Is it normal to change the nipple and coupler on the cfr hand tool once a year?

I seems to be a stupid design! The natural droppyness of the wipe hide-a-hose forces the valve (nipple and coupler) to bend badly and forces a malfunction.

I use the hand tool quit a lot to be fair but still. Been a nightmare last few days.
