A one-piece drag wand is a five-foot rigid object, which is fine in a box truck and a real problem in a hatchback, a service elevator, or a storage closet shared with a mop bucket. The Sandia 10-0861-2 is the two-piece single jet wand for the Sniper 12-gallon platform, built to separate into two shorter sections so it travels and stores in a fraction of the space.
That makes it the practical choice for in-house maintenance staff at schools, churches, small hotels, and apartment communities, where the extractor lives in a closet between quarterly cleanings, and for mobile operators working out of a van or a car. The single jet head keeps the wand lighter and simpler than a dual jet production wand, which suits interim and spot work more than eight-hour production days. Where a dual jet wand earns its keep on wide open commercial floors, this one earns its keep on the day you have to carry it up three flights and put it away without dismantling the supply closet.

Frequently asked questions
Does a two-piece wand leak at the joint?
Not when it is assembled correctly and the seal is in good condition. Two-piece wands are a long-established design; the joint is a serviceable connection, and keeping it clean and checking the seal periodically is all the maintenance it needs.
Single jet or dual jet, which should I buy?
Single jet wands are lighter, simpler, and well suited to interim cleaning, spot work, and occasional in-house use. Dual jet wands lay solution more evenly across the head and are the better choice for daily production cleaning of large commercial areas.
Will this fit my Sniper extractor?
It is the two-piece single jet wand for the Sniper 12-gallon platform. Because configurations vary by model year, confirm the part against your machine's model and serial number, or contact us and we will check it for you.
How should I store a two-piece wand?
Separate the sections, flush them with clear water, and let them drain before storing. Leaving detergent standing inside a wand is what leads to residue buildup and clogged jets.
Can I get a replacement jet for it?
Yes. The jet is a wear item on any wand and is available separately, so a worn or clogged jet does not require replacing the wand.
