CR2 - Gulper Hand Tool
CR2 - Gulper Hand Tool (Item #K13686)
The EDIC CR2 Gulper Hand Tool is a compact yet powerful accessory built for precision cleaning and maximum water recovery in tight or hard-to-reach areas. Unlike larger wands that are designed for covering wide spaces, the Gulper Hand Tool is specifically engineered for detail-oriented cleaning tasks where precision, maneuverability, and control are most important. Its lightweight design and durable construction make it an indispensable tool for cleaning professionals who require both efficiency and reliability in everyday use. Whether you are spot-cleaning carpets, extracting water from corners, or performing detailed restroom floor maintenance, this tool ensures that no area is left untreated.
Key Benefits
- Lightweight and maneuverable: Designed to be easily handled in confined spaces, minimizing operator fatigue.
- Efficient water recovery: Extracts water quickly and effectively, reducing drying times and leaving surfaces safe.
- Durable construction: Built for heavy-duty professional use in demanding environments.
- Simple setup: Attaches directly to CR2 extractor systems for fast deployment.
- Perfect for detail cleaning: Enables precision work in small spaces where larger tools cannot reach.
Why It Matters
Large cleaning wands are highly effective for broad coverage but can be cumbersome when dealing with detail work or confined areas. The Gulper Hand Tool solves this problem by offering targeted cleaning power, ensuring that edges, corners, and small spaces receive the same professional attention as open floor areas. In addition to improving cleaning results, it enhances safety by improving water recovery, which reduces slip hazards and ensures floors are ready for use faster. For professional cleaners, this means better results in less time and improved customer satisfaction.
Applications
- Spot cleaning: Ideal for treating spills or stains on carpets without using larger equipment.
- Restroom detail work: Excellent for water recovery around fixtures, corners, and grout lines.
- Hard-to-reach areas: Designed to extract water and soil from corners, under counters, or other tight spaces.
- Emergency cleanup: Effective in water damage restoration for small, localized extractions.
Specifications
- Compact hand-held design for precision cleaning.
- Efficient suction head designed for water recovery.
- Optimized for use with EDIC CR2 extractor systems.
Installation Tips
- Connect the tool securely to the CR2 vacuum hose port before operation.
- Test suction before use to ensure proper attachment and seal.
- For best results, use overlapping strokes to maximize water recovery and reduce streaking.
Compatibility & Fit
The Gulper Hand Tool is designed specifically for EDIC CR2 extractor systems, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. It connects quickly to the vacuum hose port and is sized for precise control in confined spaces. While optimized for CR2 machines, it may also be compatible with other systems using similar hose connections, but best performance is guaranteed with EDIC equipment.
Pro Tips
When spot cleaning, use slow, controlled passes and overlap slightly to ensure thorough water recovery. For stubborn soils, pre-scrub with a brush or cleaning solution before extraction to achieve deeper results. Keep multiple hand tools available if working across large facilities, so operators can switch quickly between wide-area wands and detail tools without delay.
Maintenance Best Practices
After each use, rinse the hand tool thoroughly to prevent buildup of dirt or cleaning chemicals. Inspect the nozzle openings regularly and clear away any debris that may obstruct suction. Check suction ports for cracks or wear, as even small issues can affect recovery efficiency. With proper maintenance, the Gulper Hand Tool will provide years of reliable service in demanding professional environments.
