I use a wider upholstery tool 4.5 inches I think. It's steel with a clear section at the front. I love it for checking dirty areas/have made enough dry passes.

The only thing is I find it sprays a lot of water even with psi turned down. Its an external spray so this might be why!?? Not sure whether internal or external is mostly used/recommend for stairs...

But the size is decent anyway

When you say rubbish, what do you mean they are quality stainless steel and well made.

Awkward to use, uncomfortable to handle. Expensive mistake for me, so soon went back to the bog standard tool everyone uses.
You'll probably find the majority of ccs say the same.

I use an old Prochem upholstery tool, the one that comes with a blue whip hose.

I wish I could use a stair tool effectively as it would save a lot of time on steps.

ive got a brand new h.m. tool  when you put the hoses on the hot water hose is lower then the tool head so you cant use it on stairs so I rang h.m. and was told to just turn it to the side !!!!!!  and it will be ok

ok ill just paid 300 pounds for a tool then I have to  bodge it so it works ! how about designing it to do the job right ???

then theres the cut down wand again designed wrong it as no swan neck ! so it to hard to use again phoned h.m. and was told to bodge it again !

the one from john is a good tool but after using it three times it looks ten years old and the trigger is to week using it at 500 psi is bent and snatches when you pull the trigger and wont last five mins

I put a 12'' whip hose on the start of the hand tool worked well. Agree not the best tool for stairs, my favourite is the CFR hand tools.

The best ive used is the prochem glide master 4inch works great the prochem upholstery tool is ok for stairs as its crap for upholstery also got the cleansmart 6inch stair wand but that's a back breaker.

  Think these are great for stairs  ...  open spray but enclosed so no slashing or over spray  .

do you think an upholstery tool with a internal tool is good enough for a stairs cleaning ? I found out mine (it the one from alltec) dont give enough rinse power (maybe its something wrong with my machine  ???) I will only use it on upholstery (no over-wetting issue)
