Really weird being on camera, but Kevin is a cool dude. I met him a few years ago and his channel has a lot of great information and he’s the only one I’ve seen that has videos on glass restoration.
But when I showed him the Samurai, he got crazy excited and wanted to do an interview. So here goes.
We’re shooting for early April. My mold is off for heat treating which is 2 weeks but I’ve got other things to put in place so hopefully early April.
I’m going to release black first and then do a poll here and on facebook to determine the next color. There’s several blues that I like so that might be the second color. Then probably red, then green last.
My hip gets wet all the time with my current BOAB (Pulex). It stains my good work trousers. Looking forward to something that eliminates that problem. That’s going to be a big selling point on it’s own.
So we don’t even get to see a picture of this thing yet? Is it because it is not patent yet, even though you are going to start selling it next month? Got to see how it compares to the other one that is getting released next month also to see what one is better to pre order.
I paid $19 for my Ettore Sidekicks, whuch I have zero issues with. Some of my employees prefer the pulex for $22 because the slots just a little bit bigger and that works for them.
I am guessing all the start up costs are a lot more now a days than when those big companies did there R&D and prototypes and stuff. Plus they probably have many 1000’s made at a time, and the new one coming out will not having the funds probably to order so many in mass to get huge discounts. I just think all the cost of things are more these days to do things and we all got to adjust. I mean 50 houses $1 a house pays for a super cool bucket that will probably be way better than the others. I think I use the blue Pulex one now with 3 squeegee slots and have the Ettore also in the tool box, but I never use it because I find it to small for my sleeves and makes to much water run out the container.
It’ll accommodate the ninja and widebody channels up to 36" without issue. It’ll allow you to use larger mops. The belt strap will be adjustable in height.
Oh, and it will come with the (super proprietary) ability to have 3 different configurations.
