Hi,

I have tightened my wand handle as tight as it will go yet it still has excessive movement. This greatly annoys me, is there anything i can do to stop the handle from sliding about? (apart from scrap it)

Kind Regards 
Steve.

If it's pulled together by screws then add a washer or 2 in the middle.

Yes - a real pain.  You could also pack the fixing with a rubber strip.

Thanks for the reply, it's a nut & bolt on either side. I may have to buy a new handle off ebay if i cant fix it. It just's slides up and down the wand which makes cleaning carpets a challenge.

Why don't you copy Shaun in his pic, he's that good he only use's one hand!

Steven, it may be the bolt heads have pulled into he plastic. If so just undo them and put a couple of washers on the bolt before tightening back up. Failing that just as has been said use a strip of rubber or some other material place it round the wand where you want the handle and re-tighten the bolts. Easy fix.

Take handle off, place some rubber bands around the wand and then replace handle over rubber bands.
