Title: Upholstery tool
Post by: Bob Allen on June 25, 2014, 10:28:50 pm
Can anyone recommend a decent basic upholstery tool to use with my truckmount.
I will prob invest in something half decent in the near future but need something in a hurry

the new tool from alltec looks interesting, Paul pearce was using one on his upholstery demo at t.a.c.c.a. day and he said that he was impressed with it. It is only £300 + v.a.t. (£250 at the tacca day.) Very light and comfortable.
I am still using an old drimaster but at £500 the new drimaster looks a bit pricey.
They may do a special price at the alltec day if you know someone who is going.

If you want something cheaper, these internal jet tools are great for upholstery, I carry one myself as well as my CFR;

I also carry one of those they are a great shape for the piping but for general cleaning they do not have the technology that some of the other tools have.
