Extension wand choices?

[jimspowewash]

I usally use a lift but most residential work i use an x-jet.I would like to get an extension wand for use of taking black streaks off stucco.So i can get my 40 up there.Im just interested in anyones pros and cons and if the 24ft is too much and the easability of using a screw method adjustment or pins tha pop out and in to adjust height.Thanx everyone jim

waiting on some things that people had to say also i will need one soon thinking on trying that extendawand pin lok but might go with the one on the pitch witch site so i can use that if/when i need that unit.

I've used a 16' and bought a 24'. The 24 is heavier and does'nt
seem to work so good past 18'. Very wobaly and flexes alot.

Next one will be 18'.....

have the 32 foot corress purchased from glenn at ace cleaning.
the reason i purchased this wand is it is the only one that extends to this length.the pin lock mechanism would be a little easier to use then the twist lock.i have had the corress fully extended and it isnt to bed to control(as long as you have a ball valve at the handle and the handle tied open) it flexes but the pressure helps hold the wand up so all the weight isnt on your arms,dont get me wrong it can be heavy at times,if the corress had the pin lock mechanism it truly would be the best wand on the market.glenn at ace cleaning has the best deal on the corress,i shopped everywhere before i purchased from him because he is in my state and i had to pay sales tax.

I too have a Coress 36' wand (3-12' sections) and it is made very well. I use it with the Pitchwitch. If you are going to use it for other things I would purchase a belt to transfer the weight to your hip and take a lot off of your arms. This is a well built wand and when you figure that you will deduct it from your taxes the extra cost is not very much to worry about. It will pay for itself in a very short time. It is like everything you get what you pay for. Go ahead and order one and you will be glad you did.

I just ordered one of those extend-a-wands the other day. Seems like it will be a winner. We'll see.

I've spoken with Stephen Howland from Extend-A-Wand several times about his product and it looks like we're going to pick up several of those for this season. They fix the main things that bug me - heavy wands that tire us out (there's are like 8 pounds total for the 24'), the pin-lok for quick extensions and most importantly the two flat sides of the wand so it stops the spinning of the nozzle when you pull the trigger.

I love the idea of extension wands for safety reasons and I'm looking forward to trying these ones out.
