The wand is the part of a backpack vacuum the operator actually holds for eight hours, and it is also the part most likely to be bent, dropped or lost. The Sandia 10-012502 is the 1-1/2 inch two-piece chrome wand, sold on its own so a machine with a damaged wand does not sit idle waiting for a whole tool kit.
A two-piece wand is a practical design for commercial routes. Run it assembled at full length for open floor and corridors, then break it down to a single section for stairs, vehicle interiors and under-furniture work. The chrome finish resists the scuffing and corrosion that dull an untreated tube, and it wipes clean, which matters in food service, healthcare and any account where the equipment is visible to the customer.
Because it uses the standard 1-1/2 inch Sandia fitting, this wand accepts the full Sandia accessory range: floor tools, the 17-inch crevice tool, the 5-inch upholstery tool and the dust brush all seat on the same connection.

Frequently asked questions
Why buy the wand separately?
Because the wand and the tools fail on different schedules. A bent or lost wand is the single most common reason a complete tool kit gets replaced, and buying just the wand costs a fraction of the kit.
Can I use one section on its own?
Yes, and crews do. A single section is easier to control on stairs, in vehicle interiors and under desks, while the assembled two-piece length is faster on open floor.
Will my existing tools fit it?
If they are Sandia 1-1/2 inch tools, yes. That includes the standard floor tools, the 17-inch crevice tool, the 5-inch upholstery tool and the 3-inch dust brush.
How do I stop the sections from separating in use?
Seat the joint fully and keep both ends clean. Grit in the joint is what stops sections from seating, and a partly seated joint both leaks air and pulls apart under load.
