Wanders Products

Need a glide? I'm good at helping you guys get the right one.

There's 6 different 'classic' style wands (even more when you count all the clones) but I make three designs that cover them all.
It really helps if you can email me a picture of the wand, the head from a couple feet away and the full length view.

In this case, the guy wasn't sure. He'd tried the 'expensive' one from his local supplier. He said it was too short.

I asked for pics and he sent them.
It was easy to identify and I make the exact glide he's looking for.

I circled the distinctive features of his wand:
-the Wedge welded on top of the head as a support between the head & tube,
-the welded ears Westpak uses to secure their supply line
-and the Westpak assist handle
- all unique features of Westpak's Classic wand.
So the glide is easy on this one.

Brian, I messed up and grabbed the wrong head for yours. Thought today was Thursday and told you I'd get it out tomorrow. But of course today's Friday so it won't go out til Monday. Sorry about that. Do ya'll ever lose a day? I do just about every week.

These are for you Rafael.

Hit a slow spot in my summer sales ...
so I'm going down the Loyalty Club list offering free samples of any chems you guys may not have tried.
I'm only on page 7 of 155.
First 12 boxes go out tomorrow.
Get in the Loyalty Club so I can treat you like Royalty.
Better hope I don't get busy again soon.

I'm offering a new Jug for the Wanders Injection Sprayer.
It has an all stainless tether to the cap which should be easier to use and more durable.

Today's colorful wands.

A different kind of Filter...

Good points from Courtney. .. "You don't want everybody in your business." .. "key word of today is "filter out" certain people." .. certain ways like "gotta put down a deposit.".. "when we create our price points - our business models - we are filtering out people no matter if we realize it or not. Because you don't want everybody using your business." .. "Raymond filters out a lot of people but he still books enough people to be profitable, pay his bills and enjoy his life."

This principle applies to suppliers too.

As a supplier, I just wanted to bring stuff to market, based on my experiences as a cleaner... helpful gadgets and chems that were more functional, versatile, customizable and durable.

Mainstream suppliers wanted my stuff. I resisted at first because I knew where it would lead but eventually I took the bait. That didn't last. One sold out to a general supply company and their reputation went into the dirt. Another recently went bankrupt; couldn't compete with Value suppliers like myself. So "other suppliers" was my first "filter out".
Other versions of my Cool Cuffs and Yardsticks came out and that was good for variety.
Plus, we have thieves stealing my Top Sellers, Joe Valve, Gator crimps, etc. These people with no creative ability of their own - God knows them. At least they're helping me further my goals of bringing better products to cleaners. I did have to put a stop to one whose son actually tried to steal my Rat Nasty name.
Courtney says: "our model filters out people whether we like it or not."
My customer base rose as I dumped suppliers and at 15 years in, I needed more ways to "filter out" people I didn't want to work for.
I look at whether they are givers or takers.
Givers have contributions. Is he sharing knowledge, explaining things, even asking lots of questions if he's new?
Takers expect others to solve their problems, brag excessively, lie, mislead, spread bad information.
The most effective "filter out" for me has been reviews.
Whether or not a guy will write reviews is by far the best way I have found of finding the right people to focus on. These are the guys I want to work for. Takes me awhile to evaluate each guy but eventually I know.

The guys attacking me here and elsewhere are a special blend of despicable human: Liar, Thief, Taker and Ungrateful. I know pretty much right away to dump them but I wait til they show themselves - by not writing reviews.
From then on we see the "Hater" they really are.
They should be excluded from any respectable forum. Hint, Hint.

I've got over a hundred more products to bring to market. "filter out" baby.

Selecting the correct glide for you Classic wand ...
If you need a glide for your wand it is important to get the glide that is specifically made for your wand.
One of the most common wands in use is the 2-jet wand, often called AW29, Average Wand, Starter wand, Classic Wand, Clone.
Bridgepoint, Hydroforce, Aramsco sell this classic wand so naturally the AW29 is the most common classic in use today.
In addition to the AW29, there are at least six other Classic wands that I know of (see picture with red background). Most of these wands accept the standard AW29 style glide but some of these Classics wands needed a specifically designed glide to ensure a good fit. I make/sell all the various glides including all the different Classic wand glides.
On the store, I kept it simple, AW29. But for the best fit, I really need to know which Classic wand you have. I will want to see a picture of your wand head so we get it right the first time. So please send me a good picture from 1-2 feet away from the head. Multiple pictures is even better. The best email for sending pictures is [email protected] but you can use [email protected] if you want although these don't come in as high resolution pics.
Keep me in the loop as to how it fits. Feel free to send me followup picturesm of how the glide fits.

This guy sent me a picture and I sent the glide I thought would fit it. He wrote back saying it didn't fit. He had it on backwards. He flipped it around and did a little surgery and it fit ok according to him.
Pictures helped get it right.

He bought this:
Wand Glides X 1 = $150.00
- Wand Type: Westpak 12 Classic
- Inlet Pattern: Slots

Me:
I'd bet it's a knockoff to the AW29. I'll send you that. It will probably fit. If not, we can try the Westpac version, it's very similar.
Is it 12" ?
The vac slot is almost sucked flat. You'll need to wedge a slotted screwdriver in there and spread it out to about 3/16"
Do you know where you bot it?
When you replace those jets try to find stainless.

Mario:
It came from Rotovac. I’ll call them in a bit and see if anyone picks up. Might need to wait until Monday.

Mario:
Okay sounds good thank you for double checking. I appreciate the help.

Mario:
Hey Joe I went to put on the guide the other day and it wasn’t sitting right on the head any tips ? Think it might be a hair to long possibly I’m not sure.

Me:
I can't tell from that one pic. You may need to trim the ends of the back side
First, try flipping it around.
Try not to damage it.
If you want to return it we can try another classic wand glide. There's another 2 that it might be.

Mario:
Hey Joe thanks for getting back to me. I trimmed it a bit and it clicked right in. Thanks for your help.

Btw I have several wands for sale, like the ones in the red pictures. all just used as demos. most were only used to get glides built for them. If you need a wand let me know and I'll make you a good deal.

All those Injector repairs ...
Yep over 10,000 Injectors repaired, all at zero labor cost to you, so you guys can keep on going, resulted in improvements as well. Together, we've moved this forward to the become the best Injection sprayer by a mile. This latest improvement came from a repair to Chris Barnes' injectors - this newly designed Strainer Assembly for the bottom end of the Draw Tube.
One of the main reasons for reviews - to gather input for improvements. I listen and implement and now install it on all my new injectors. I've already sent free replacements to some of you regulars. Any of you others who want the upgrade, just count up how many Draw Tubes you have with the plastic threaded Adapter at the bottom and shoot me an email and I'll send you this new improvement, No charge. I think you'll like it.
