The Sidewinder 8" Upholstery Nozzle fits 1.5" (38mm) wands and/or curved handles. The tools unique design uses a flexible neck thus permiting the tool to flex 90 degress to the wand. This permits the tool to vacuum across the tool width, vacuum end on, or to vacuum vertical surfaces with equal effectiveness. This upholstery nozzle works great at getting into tight spaces, and general hard floor cleanup.

SideWinder 8" dusting tool works well with regular vacuum wands & hoses, and does not require the longer straight wand extension like the Sidewinder floor nozzles. Sold 1 each, black color. Fits 1.5" (38mm) friction fit wands.

The patented Sidewinder tool series was developed by an experienced contract cleaner seeking to increase his associates productivity by changing from the traditional push pull motion utilized with conventional cleaning nozzles to a vertical design which accommodates sweeping in an arc similar to what one would have done when mopping.

The flexible neck permits the Sidewinder tool to find the surface being cleaned regardless of the angle. This benefit is especially evident when cleaning above the floor as the tool adjusts to the surface and angle of the wand rather than your associate always having to adjust their posture or arms to keep the tool level to the surface.

Available in both 32mm (1.25”) and 38mm (1.50”) cleaning wand connection sizes, Sidewinder tools are available in designs for carpet, hard floor, upholstery, vertical walls, and elevated horizontal surfaces. The Sidewinder series is available in tool lengths of 20cm (8.0”) 38cm (15.0”) and 45cm (18”) as plush natural fill brushes or as a scallop bottom brushless carpet tool.

Increase Productivity: An individual cleaning with a traditional 14” floor brush, carpet tool, or upright vacuum will typically clean 2,500 to 2,700 square feet of space per hours. The arc shaped sweeping motion resulting from the vertical presentation of the Sidewinder allows an individual to effectively double the surface area per hour by expanding the width of the cleaning path. The flexible neck lets the tool moves through this area perfectly aligned to the cleaning surface for more effective cleaning in a single pass. The Sidewinder tools are ideal for backpack, for use with central vacuums, wet and dry canister vacuums, and the developing market for cart mounted vacuum systems.

Better Detailing. The easier a tool is to use the more effective the cleaning. The vertical presentation of the Sidewinder as compared to the horizontal presentation of conventional tools permits access to areas traditional tools can’t reach. The extended low profile easily passes under cabinets, shelves, and chair trolleys. A Sidewinder tool can pass into tight spaces between wall and cabinets, desks, chairs, and tables eliminating the need to move furnishings to effectively clean. The Sidewinder tapered profile finds its way under and around electrical cords, computer wires, television cords, and telephone leads under desks in your home or office cleaning areas often neglected with traditional tools. The Sidewinder will result in faster more effective detailing resulting in a satisfied client or home owner.

Upright posture: A comfortable erect standing posture is encouraged by the unique vertical presentation and flexible neck of the Sidewinder tools. This erect posture results in more user comfort as one cleans open spaces and is fully recognized as one cleans in and around home or office furnishings. The flexible neck allows one to stand comfortably upright and extend well beyond the depth one would encounter cleaning under a desk. When used with a backpack the Sidewinder eliminates the need for bending down to get under desks which results in back strain as the weight of the backpack leaves your hips and transfers to your lower back. This same advantage can be captured with tank vacuums through the use of a slightly longer hose.

Best practice: We believe a telescopic wand element is a must to get the full benefit of your Sidewinder tool. The telescopic wand allows one to adjust the wand to the users height and realize the full benefit associated with the Sidewinders flexible neck design. Adjusting the wand height to fit the personal profile of the user encourages the upright posture necessary to realizing the full benefit of the Sidewinder design. A straight wand system with the hose draped over the shoulder of the user is ideal when cleaning with a Sidewinder floor nozzle. The traditional curved end forces one to push the wand system further from their body as it passes through the tools arc reducing productivity and user comfort. The use of light weight aluminum telescopic also maximize the above the floor cleaning advantages of the Sidewinders design.
