Gekko Tools
A rotary spinner does the open floor. Everything else on a hard surface job — the perimeter, the coving, the shower recess, the step nosing — is hand work, and it is where the time goes.
Gekko is a modular answer to that. One wand body takes a range of heads, so the operator changes attachment rather than tool, and the vacuum connection stays made.
The range covers the Gekko wand supplied without a head; the 4 inch head attachment and 4 inch hand tool; the edge, corner and coving tool at 4 inch; the 14 inch squeegee head and the brush head attachment; the SX-7 and SX-15 tool attachments; and a 10 ft Hide-A-Hose whip assembly for the Hydro-Force SX-7 (AH180).
How to choose
Buy the wand once, then buy heads. The wand is the platform. Adding an edge tool later costs a fraction of adding a second complete tool, which is the point of the system.
Squeegee for water, brush for soil. The squeegee head clears standing water and slurry on smooth surfaces. The brush head agitates grout and textured tile. Using the squeegee on textured floor leaves the grout lines untouched.
The coving tool is what finishes a wet room. Shower recesses, hobs and coved junctions are exactly where a spinner cannot reach and exactly where the customer inspects first.
Match the attachment to the machine you already run. The SX-7 and SX-15 attachments exist to work with those Hydro-Force tools. Check which you have before ordering — the numbers are close and the parts are not shared.
A whip assembly saves the main hose. A short flexible section at the tool end takes the twisting and abrasion that would otherwise wear the run.
