Product Overview
The Gekko Corner and Coving Tool cleans corners, edges and coving in one stroke, from standing height. These are the areas a spinner tool cannot reach and the areas a customer looks at first.
A coving cover is included, so the same tool can clean just the floor when the coving is not to be touched.
The Gekko System — One Wand, Six Heads
Gekko is a modular hard surface system. One wand takes any of six cleaning heads through a threaded collar, so a single wand covers open floor, corners, coving, shower walls, countertops and under toe kicks.
| Part | What it is | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Gekko Wand (no head) | AR51A | The wand itself — every head needs it |
| Gekko 4 Inch Head | AR51D | Concentrated jet for stubborn grout and tight spots |
| Gekko Edge, Corner & Coving Tool 4 Inch (this product) | AR51C | Corners, edges and coving that spinners miss |
| Gekko Squeegee Head 14 Inch | AR51E | Open floor, fast drying |
| Gekko Brush Head 14 Inch | AR51H | Agitation across open floor |
| Gekko SX-7 Attachment | AR51G | Spinner head on the Gekko wand |
| Gekko SX-15 Tool Attachment | AR51S | Larger spinner head on the Gekko wand |
Important — New Gekko Heads Only
The current Gekko wand connects to all of the new Gekko heads. It will not work on old Gekko heads.
If you are adding to an existing Gekko set rather than buying new, tell us what you already have and we will confirm the generation before you order. This is the single most common mis-purchase on the range, and the parts look similar enough that it is not obvious until they are in your hands.

Why Glass-Filled Nylon
A corner tool spends its life being pushed into hard edges. Glass-filled nylon is stiffer than plain nylon and holds its shape under that treatment, which matters because a corner tool that has flexed out of shape no longer sits into the corner it was bought for.
What It Runs On
The Gekko range works with any truckmount or high-pressure portable extractor. It is a high-pressure tool system, so a low-pressure portable will connect but will not deliver the result the tools were designed around.
Around 1,000 psi is sufficient for tile and grout work. The tools are rated to 2,000 psi, which is headroom rather than a target — if you are reaching for more pressure to get a result, dwell time and chemistry are usually the answer.
Operating Advice
- Fit the coving cover when the coving is not part of the job. Cleaning coving that the customer did not ask about can lift paint or sealant.
- One stroke per run. Working back and forth in a corner throws water outward.
- Do the corners and edges before the open floor. Anything you push out of an edge is then picked up by the open-floor pass.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the coving cover do?
It blocks the coving side of the tool so only the floor is cleaned. It is supplied with the tool.
Do I still need this if I have a spinner?
Yes, and that is the point of it. Spinners cannot get into corners, along edges or under toe kicks, and that is where an unfinished job shows.
Does it fit my Gekko wand?
It fits the new generation wand. It will not fit old Gekko equipment.
What jet does it use?
A single 9503 Veejet.
Will it damage painted coving?
High pressure water can lift paint and sealant regardless of the tool. Fit the coving cover if you are not certain, and test where it will not show.

What We See in the Field
The Gekko range gets bought head by head over time, and the generation question is what catches people out — an old wand with a new head, or the reverse, bought months apart from different places. Check the generation before ordering rather than after.
The other pattern is pressure. Operators who are disappointed with a hard surface result are usually short on dwell time or running the wrong chemistry, and no amount of extra pressure at the tool makes up for either.
