Which part do you mean richly, we have made heads for Skyvac poles before.
-
Nick have you got a link to different nossels etc you supply?
-
Unfortunately I can't put links on here (I got told off!!). If you go on our website you'll see the heads we do on there, if there's anything there of interest to you give us an email or call Monday.

Need a part to go into gutter but its very narrow and the plastic thing they supply is no good. Dont think any of the tools are good if you want truth. The heads are far too flexible also

We had a customer who rang us in desperation. He had a Sky Vac and had been trying to finish a Housing Association in London for two days but could not get the weeds out with suction only. No ladders were allowed on site and there was no access for lifters. He actually cut a piece of his pole off and sent it to us for sizing (that is when we discovered their poles were part fibre glass).
We made a head and tools to fit, he e-mailed us with thanks because he was able to finish the contract within two hours.
We have developed a tool which we are finding to be a game changer, it combines suction with lifting. We used it Friday on a weed which would not budge, twenty seconds later it was out, but it needs a rigid frame for it to work, not a piece of radiator hose!!

Hi Shrek, i have the Skyvac now 2 years, and the end tools that fit into the red or black rubber bendy cuff whatsits are a
tight fit, but they need to be otherwise they would be coming lose and falling off every 5 minutes.

It seems a lot bigger than the other tools though and I can just about fit 1cm into the rubber after lots of messing about , the other tools slot into a nice tight fit but this is something else
-
Oh .... Just been on the phone to them , the rectangular tool fits into the smaller round nozzle which acts as a reducer !
-
Take it nicks tools dont fit
-
Our tools fit our head. It is pointless putting tools that pull weeds out of gutters into a piece of radiator hose that under force they will pull out of. Even if they hold in, the rubber bend would simply collapse.
I have been cleaning gutters for many years, our competitors have been selling what they think are gutter cleaning tools for many years.
We, who do the job, have been advocating smaller vacs for many years, whilst all other sellers have tried, and in lots of cases, have persuaded many of you to part with money that a lot of you could not afford. You will now notice that they all now supply small vacs. I expect the same will go for the heads in due course.
-
Nick, how does the head attatch to a carbon pole?
-
Nick, What happened to the Karcher 2 motor setup?
-
Same reason as all the over vacs he stopped selling over the years I suppose ;D
-
Hi Steve,
To be honest the price went up from Karcher and we didn't sell that many so that's why we stopped to be honest. if someone particularly wanted one we can certainly get them but they are expensive.
-
Nick I'm surprised that you don't also offer the same vacs gripper sell as they seems very popular.
-
You'd be amazed at how much they cost Smurf for what isn't a particularly powerful machine (we started out with one so know what they're like).
-
Thanks I thought that was the case. Over priced and not very good then?
-
They're ok and do the job but not really worth the money, you can get better for cheaper.
