You need to turn the pressure down when using hand tools - 150psi or thereabouts should be sufficient.

Save up for a CFR from Cleansmart, good investment.

If you dont turn it down it will put pressure on the seals on the cheaper hand tools.

and I agree with Mike, the CFR handtool is a good quality one but unfortunately it is'nt cheap - but you get what you pay for.

Unless you are realy flushed with money you will probably start off with one head - that I would choose to be the 5".
However the 3" comes in handy for the front of the arms where you may get a tight radius. Putting your fingure part way across the suction slot of a 5" has the desired effect.
The larger one - good if you have large flat areas - say a continuous seat/back in a pub or one of those settees with very large seat cushions.
Heads are quick to change.
I just have the 5" and make do.

CFR Combo Tool ( 5 inch model)

do I need to add conversion hose for the ninja 400psi?
Has anyone use this hand tool on a ninja 400psi before?

Particularly when working around upholstery I like to use something that will not snag and cause possible damage to the item being worked on.
For this reason I would recomend getting some length of hose where the solution hose runs inside the suction hose (hide-a-hose).
May not be ideal in terms of air flow, or if the solution hose bursts, but IMO the fact there is less to snag is more beneficial.
I have not used it on a Ninja but I would not anticipate any problem.
Pressure will need to be turned down to about 150psi (or thereabouts)

Am with you on this one joe.

The snaging bit is important and with the jublee clip at dif angles it can easily snap the upholstery etc.

Hi

I use a CFR handtool on my Ninja 400 psi.

The handtool usually comes with the appropriate hide-a-hose.

Make sure when ordering you specify whether you want male or female connectors.

I turn the pressure down to about 150 as Joe and Clinton say.

I'm really pleased with the set-up, so go for it.

Roger
