I use mine all the time, I have a dri master new shape and also 2 internal jets and 3 external jet upholstery tools but I prefer the cfr all the time and mine is about 7 years old and works like new.

Excellent hand tool, i have the 3-5 and 7" tools, you willl need a cfr conversion hose if you havnt one.
Some also reccomend the drimaster hand tool but i aint used 1 so cant comment.

cool, thanks for the quick replys :) just to confirm, i was talking about the £170.00 one?? is that the one u guys are talking about?
cheers

You're £170 rises to £310 when you put the trigger attachment in, it comes in 2 parts that the hose and trigger and then the stainless steel head is extra.

The 5" that you want is the one you will use most for large panels , cushions etc,
the 3" is better for curved edges around the arms and fidly bits.
Shaun, you finnaly reached the big 40

Like the description "virtually indestructible" but before that "slight cracking round screw head"
Looks well used to me.

If you want a totally unbiased opinion of the cfr hand tool contact my mate Wayne Dean as mine spends more time in his van than mine :o :(
-
Thanks for all the replys guys.
Len, whats Wayne's number mate?
Looks like it would make more since for me to go for the one at the bottom of the page in that case. It already comes with the conversion hose.

Hi Tony
Len is spot on with his comment that his CFR spends more time with me then with him, reason is that it is a fantastic piece of equipment and the best upholstery tool available! Over the past 15 years I have used every type of tool on the market and have to admit that the CFR outshines them all, less cleaning strokes, fewer drying passes both giving ourselves and custys great drying times.
It's a very tough and well made unit which will last you a bloody lifetime, no flimsy plastic bits and bobs on this, just sturdy reliable equipment!
It can take a bit of getting used to when moving away from a standard upholstery tool but once mastered you will never look back.
Also the other great thing about the CFR is that with the conversion hose you can quick connect the available combo tools.
I would recommened purchasing the 3" tool at some point as some sofas and chairs can be a little tricky when using the 5" tool.
Anyway I will stop waffing on but please feel free to call me on the number Len has provided if you need anymore info.
All the best
Wayne
P.S. I dont work for Amtech ;D

I use one too, would not be without it or use any other.

Great bit of kit, even better when you purchase the 4 different size quick release jets that are avaiable
