Title: CFR hand tool trigger repair kit - Amtech only ?
Post by: kinder clean on March 25, 2010, 12:54:56 am

My CFR hand tool has started dripping from the trigger plunger, can anyone advise the seals for a repair kit, or is it Amtech only ?

Cheers

Paul

Paul, I bought a set of o rings from my local DIY, Works out at a few pence per ring for which the cleaning supplies firms charge an(relatively speaking) arm and a leg Mike

That kit number at woodbridge comes up as a HIDE-A-HOSE VALVE REPAIR KIT is that the wrong number ?

Its for the 3" CFR upholstery tool.

Cheers

They also suffer from the small QDs wearing,
had to replace mine yesterday. Always keep
3 pairs just incase, also carry spare p valve
for Wonderwand plus repair kit, same for CFR
handtool.

Has anyone adapted their CFR tool to be more user friendly esp with a feather touch trigger.

Great tool but crap design.

I dont know why everyone complains about the sore wrists etc etc i have had mine a few days now, done two suites, one sofa with it in that time (3 jobs) and its been bloody amazing! :) but defo no pains in my hands,wrist or arms. I do do a ton of upholstery tho, i counted last year that i got close to 200 suites in a 12 month period.
