I'm in need of a new 24' extension wand. Anybody suggest what they think is the best and maybe where to purchase? Thanks, Scott McConahy of McConahy Contract Cleaners
 
To answer your question: Northern Tool has some decent ones at good prices.

To offer my opinion: Don't waste your time with extension wands, just shoot from the ground with an xjet or jrod tips.
 
Got one hanging up on my porch - been there for 7 years!
 
Coress Power Wand - (www.pitchwitch.com) We use ours still for various reasons. It won't break your back. Celeste can even use it at 24'.
 
Majority of my work is new masonary washdowns. A quality extension wand is a must for the detail that I must acheive doing this kind of work. With one rebuild, my extend-a-wand lasted me 8 years. They are no longer available, so that's why I need another. I would even buy a used one. I don't have any complaints with the one I've had all these years. You just have to know how to use it properly. Scott
 
Like Roger said, we use our Coress. It's lightweight, little to no flex. I'm 5'4" and can use it. It's an investment but we've had ours 7 years.
 
I got one from Russ that Hydrotek makes its a bit heavy before the pressure is going through but once you get water going through you are fine.People can talk all the soft wash stuff they want but if you are doing alot of different kinds of washing such as new brick work these poles with extra length can come in handy.Most of these coments come from people that have never done much other than wash plastic sided houses.Try to soft wash a 25 foot new brick house and let me know how that goes.

I know a couple contactors that do masonry a ton of it, they swear by the Coreess wand
 
We have a 12' and a 24' Coress. If you use the low pressure hose (1800 or 2600 psi) they are light. If you need the high pressure hose, they are pretty heavy in my opinion. Extremely durable. We have had the 12' for about 7 years and just now are replacing parts. The 12' is used almost every day.

Those extension wands are another tool for the job. I use mine for jobs on occasion and have for over 7 years now, I have the 18', a couple of 24' and one 36' extension poles.

Most of the time when I use those poles it is for jobs where you cannot chemically clean surfaces and need some pressure.

There are some times where you need to wash up high but the job is too small for a manlift and you help customers a lot by not renting a lift and just dealing with it with an extention pole for a short time to get the job done.

I got mine from a guy that went out of business but he got it from Steve Rowlett before he closed shop. It was like a clone of the Coress Wand that is available from the guys that sell the Pitch Witch. Not sure how much they go for but if I had to guess probably at least $390.

It is not too heavy being aluminum but washing buildings with it is an adventure. hahahahaha

It does take it's toll on your elbows and shoulders holding it up and wanding the top of buildings getting that embedded dirt off. I wish I could chemically clean everything here but unfortunately I cannot bleach dirt from concrete, I have tried and tried but you have to wand some buildings.
