New steam wand tools
When you buy our XL steam wand upgrade kit, we include two wrenches, to help people change between the standard steam wand and the XL one. We also routinely send the wrenches out for free to any owner who indicates that they could use them.
We designed the wrenches ourselves, because our stuff ships air mail, and sending two very heavy, cast-steel wrenches by plane isn't smart. We needed them to be lighter. Our first design (bottom right of the photo) was primitive, and still quite heavy.
We're revising this tool to be both lighter and multipurpose. You can now:
- change the steam wand (needs two different wrenches)
- tighten the ball joint on the steam wand (in case it loosens and leaks)
- remove the steam wand tip (for thorough cleaning, for example)
- with holes for mounting the tools on a wall.
- and it's quite a bit lighter, as its being made from stronger metal, which allowed us to go thinner.
When these newly revised tools come in, we'll continue to send it along to customers who might be able to use it. I think we'll have them in about 8 weeks.
