After a lot of testing and dissecting and tweaking we've gotten to the point of me handing the tool back to Westpac and say let's run with it.

The all titanium head will have a very large view window on the front and a inch and a quarter internal hose setup in 10, 15 and 20 ft options

The 01 single jet sits in its own spray chamber that offers amazing over spray control allowing you to clean microfibers and other flat weaves in the very tidy way

The Glide is easily removed if you want to detail staircases and not fret about damage that the tactless will do to your soft Teflon accessory.

There will be a optional and removable heat creating circulating system that will fix to the other end of the hideAhose for those that feel they need full truck mount heat when cleaning upholstery.

I call the Glide an "accessory" because the hand tool also works very well without the Glide when needed such as when doing detail work or very rough sturdy fabrics..

It's extremely comfortable to use due to its angle and lightweight and the flexibility of the swivelized hose

Mr Pemberton used it on a few pieces over the past few days and I'll let him comment on his findings


I'll be with the Westpac team next week where we'll go over some of the details and we may see this fun to use, long needed, versatile tool in production within the next 2 months, hopefully.

I'm not interested in any more suggestions. It's been through the gamut with various veteran specialists has passed muster.

Cost is yet to be determined but my goal is to make it a great value just like the rest of my tools.

It's extremely comfortable to use due to its operating angle and lightweight head along with the flexibility of the swivelized hose set up
