took delivery of new handtool, not used it on upholstery as yet ,
but used it on a stair carpet today, excellant result especially on
the nosings, where there where black marks.
Left the wool cpt really dry, a very light tool to work with.

Ahhh don't. Andrew do not use these tools on carpets, especially stairs the grippers will nick the plastic glide rendering it useless for upholstery.

[Paul Heath]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please don't. They are a lot of money and really come into there own on upholstery, which is what they are built for. Its a very expensive stair tool and won't last

[Andrew Briscoe]

It was a thick piled cpt 60 oz, first thing i did was check gripper, used it mainly on nosings.

I wouldn't recommend using any upholstery tools for carpets. Lad in Leeds had done some edgings, went to clean a suite next and ripped the arm. Couldn't match the fabric and cost him 2 grand to replace sofa, insurance wouldn't pay.

I've just got a drimaster, love it but keepo thinking it could do with a trigger.

is this like a drimaster but with a trigger??

[PaulKing]

Sort of you can lock the trigger on or use it normally

does the trigger handle snag on fabric?

[John Kelly]

No its flat rounded plastic almost parallel with the tool. Its under your fingers when working.
