will do ,The latest spec has the first swivel with a pin lock ( by an allen key i think ) so it might be good to have that option .
It looks like the ones when u google devpro on youtube  ...   but the ( Dev ) devastator filter guy is not involved anymore as they fell out over something so its from Calltoolusa .
spec ...  custom length  , 14" four jet , 2" titanium with alloy head , sight window ,swivel/lock , glide , softtouch , stainless jets with checkvalve etc .
Im not sure how much til i see the invoice as i got a few other bits but they are around 550 to 650 USD

If you look on mikeysboard  there is a thread half way down call ' all swivels are not the same '   ...  there is a pic of the newer head and locking swivel

Jhon what flow and glide did you go for on this wand

four jet six flow total
Glides ...  i dont know much about  , getting the standard glide that comes with it . But i ordered an extra glide as i saw some guy drilling the holes bigger on you tube and i figured it might be usefull to have a wide one bits for wool ?  ... but i might not even do that
Glide looks like the one at the bottom of this page

Got mine  ...
Its a really nice thing alright  ...  will take me getting used to
I got the 14" , doesn't seem too big to me .  I tried it today but of course all my carpet jobs were clean just when i wanted something to get stuck into .

i have to get small jets as im effectively using a portable  , im sure it would be great with four 2 or three flow jets and truckmount heat . I have four 1.5 flow jets .
The website to order ?   u can order from the maker , Tony Dang  www.caltoolusa.com

 Custom handle grip i put together to try and find a sweet spot  .
Those generic handles in an upright position don't do it for me at all .

How you Ren getting on with the wand any problems

HI , i really like it  , i not sure if id recommend it with just the standard Enforcer , it does work well but it really shines when im using my four vac motors .  I know the TM guys would be crazy about using it .
Some of the heavyweight americans are suggesting it might be the best wand ever ... and they can be hard to impress , especially with things that are not made by a ' true american  ::)roll
Couple of things i noticed  ... i previously considered 2"hose to the wand bulky and awkward .. but with this wand its just feels like using 1.5  .    The glide , which iv never used before seems to add some agitation or pile lifting which i like .   The swivel head adds a new dimension to the way you clean , it can get into smaller spaces by turning sideways , you can clean fully under heavy beds by laying it almost flat ... and your body doesn't have to more around as much  as in from the one standing position u can swivel around edges and doorways for example without adjusting your position . 
The 14 head is great for large rooms and function rooms but never feels big even when i bring it to some fairly small bedrooms .
Cleaning speed and drying times are really impressive when connected to my four vacs .

i have four 1.5flow jets as i dont want to empty the enforcer tank too quick ,   i would say the standard TM jetting is four 2flow ? perhaps 3 . You could select what you want really .
