It’s ugly but the jet manifold that metermaid suggested on your last thread

plastic threads and Marty's dont jive...

on the other end of the spectrum is the best wand ever constructed...

I had a tubeless head for a while to redesign the glide for, I should have kept it as a paperweight.

The inside vac manifold was so....perfect.

Your age is really showing. I’m surprised you couldn’t see it.

The jets are offset

But you’re right on the plastic threads.

I saw the offset jets 20 years ago the first time I saw a Butler wand.

Why’d that not catch on with the other wands. Seems like a good idea

A single manifold is tough to pull off.
5 jets is a pita

 

[Numero Uno]

One of the worst versions of a wand ever..3 jet was by far the best of there versions...

 

[Nomad74]

God made me bad at math because he knew otherwise I would be too powerful

The date is also etched in each wand at the lower end of the tube front.

After years of slinging the Prochem Tri-Jet wand, which was sort of like pushing a boat anchor across the carpet, I really welcomed this wand. "Pre-glide days", I found it far easier to use, and these wands have held up for decades, unless they were used for flood extraction on concrete.

The nylon blocks were a vast improvement over the original aluminum ones that would blow a hole out directly opposite where the supply line entered.
You did have to be careful to not cross thread a jet though.

I ran a butler 18" on apartments and commercial jobs for over 15 years. 5 offset jets. Wands were built to last.

How did you push that Jeff?

In all due respect, you'd fit in Mikey's back pocket.....

I guess you upstate New Yorkers are made of tough stuff

I was young and did not know any better. Since you sold me the first evolution wand, I have become soft. Ha

I still have done from 1996! Man that is a heavy wand.

I had the 14" Butler and remember it being pretty easy to push...back when I was 30
