Personally I use the hydramaster drimaster after seeing it at the sunny day out i had to have one excellent tool i have dramatically reduced drying times using this tool.Not sure about other hand tools i thought these were the main three but people can post what they use if not listed.

Steve,
I have a collection of hand tools and use whichever I feel most approprate to the job - you did not include an option for that :(
-
Come on guys post what tools you are using ???

CFR combi tool and Drimaster
-
Extracta, hide-a-hose hand tool.
A bit heavy, you should see my wrists. :)
Would like to get a low mosture tool, but hav'nt a clue which one.
Hand tools are expensive in my opinion.

Steve,
I use the Extracta Hide a hose tools, the H3 for upholstery and generally the H1 for stairs
I'm looking forward to this thread as I too find it a bit clumbersome on suites and have been looking for an alternative.
I had been looking at the enclosed head tool from extracta (H5)
You've obviously started this poll for a reason, what are your reasons behind it and what are you looking to discover?
I would be interested to know the following:
Are all fittings standard size for any machine?
What are the selling points of each?
What are disadvantages of each?
What are the costs of each?
Who supplies them, Addresses, websites, phone Nos, contacts?
Got to go, early start - 40 bedrooms and corridors to clean!!

I too used too use extractas hide a hose tool but found it very cumbersome i purchased the drimaster hand tool and could not believe the difference in drying times compared to the extracta tool.So basically i was wondering what everyone else used to find out if drying times was a factor when choosing a tool or purely down to cost.

Hi
Where can i buy the drymaster from?
I'm doing a six seater Draylon today, i have a basic internal and external hand tool, one i feel doesnt wet enough, and the other if not used very carefully overwets!
I could do with a better one.
I had the pleasure of working with Ken Wainright last week and he had a good one, but quite expensive if i remember right.
Sorry but i can't remember the name, perhaps Ken could let us know.

It's a CFR.
But the Drimaster would empty the tank on your Advantage before you could rinse a sofa frame as there's no trigger and the water flow is continuous.
Safe and happy cleaning :)

Ken,
Dont forget the drimaster does have a valve on the underside to stop flow, we use this facility when doing drypasses. They are actually very controllable.

I have had the drimaster on loan. I used about 10 buckets of water to clean a suite ???
Its more suitable for use with truckmounts than portables.
Have now got the CFR, depending on the jet fitted it will use from 3 to 6 buckets. Drying times are very good.
Do a search for upholstery tool, this subject is covered in depth on other threads.
cheers

Hi all,
I use the hydramaster drimaster for public,and a chemspec for comercial,speek to john in cornwall for the best price on a drimaster.
Be carefull with the chemspec tools as the internal connectors rust and break off
if you dont take out all the residue.
