At American Caddy Vac we don’t just make it, we make it better! That’s how we build our cleaning units and that’s how we build our tools.
For example, look at the subject of the April Tool Special: Rods. Rods have historically been part of the tool arsenal in any serious cleaning business. Rods extend the ability to apply high pressure air to areas you can’t reach with air hose alone.
At American Caddy Vac, we offer the standard, white rods which are ideal for shorter, straight runs. But what about really long runs? Or what about curves and corners? What about flex duct?
Early in the life of our own air duct cleaning business (B & F Power Vac in Lewiston, Idaho) we loved using these white rods, but we thought of a way to make these tools even better: variable flexibility. We began to make rods that were very rigid, to accommodate long runs, and rods that were very flexible to accommodate curves and corners, and flex duct. These new rods meant that we could really get air to just about anywhere, even on very large jobs.
We color coded these rods so it’s easy to know which one you need to grab… the red rods are rigid, the white rods are the standard medium flexibility, and the blue rods are very flexible.
And to make sure your rods are super easy to use, and easy to extend, we use quick connect heads. This allows you to make quick changes. And these rods interconnect so you can customize flexibility for any run you come across.
It’s all about versatility. It’s all about getting air where you need it. It’s all about being able to leave a job with the knowledge that your client’s air system is as clean as it can be.
And that’s really the approach we take with all of our tools. When we see a need in our own duct cleaning business, we see if we can make a tool to meet that need or, we see if we can make an existing tool better. When we hear about a need from our customers, we don’t just file it away… we think. We experiment. We build.
If we can make a tool better, we will. It’s what we do!
