This ProTeam 1-1/2 inch tool kit, part number 103981, pairs a two-piece aluminum wand with a 14 inch hard floor tool. It is the configuration crews choose when the wand has to come apart at the end of the shift - for a van, a cart, or a janitorial closet that will not swallow a full-length tube. Contractors buy it to outfit a machine that arrived body-only, and facility maintenance teams buy it to replace a wand and floor tool together after one of the two finally gives out.
Built for
- Hard-floor routes across tile, VCT, sealed concrete and finished hardwood
- Crews that transport equipment between sites and need the wand to break down
- Replacing a worn or damaged wand and floor tool as one matched set instead of piecing parts together
- Equipping a new ProTeam vacuum bought without attachments
- Standardizing accessories across a multi-machine fleet
Two-piece aluminum wand - what you gain and what you give up
ProTeam two-piece aluminum wands use a button-lock joint, which is what makes the wand adjustable in length and lets it separate into two shorter sections for storage and transport. That flexibility is the whole point of the design and it is why two-piece is the default choice for mobile crews. The honest trade-off is that any friction-fit or button-lock connection can work loose over a long service life; operator reviews of ProTeam backpack machines mention hose and wand connections loosening with heavy use. It is a maintenance item, not a defect - seat the joint fully at the start of each shift and inspect the lock button periodically. If your route never leaves the building and you would rather have no joint at all, the one-piece equivalent kit is the alternative.
Fitment note - read before ordering
This kit is built for the ProTeam 1-1/2 inch attachment size class. A 1-1/2 inch wand will not seat on a 1-1/4 inch machine, so measure the cuff of your current wand or hose end first. ProTeam does not publish the complete box contents for 103981, so while the two-piece aluminum wand and the 14 inch hard floor tool are named in the part description, we cannot confirm whether a crevice tool or dust brush is included. Comparable ProTeam kits do bundle those items, but we are not going to state it as fact for this part number. Ask us and we will confirm before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose a two-piece wand over a one-piece?
A two-piece aluminum wand separates into two shorter sections and adjusts in length, which matters for van transport and tight storage closets. A one-piece wand has no mid-tube joint to loosen but cannot be broken down. Pick based on whether the equipment travels.
Will this fit my ProTeam vacuum?
It is built for the 1-1/2 inch attachment size class. Measure the cuff on your existing wand or hose end before ordering, because 1-1/2 inch and 1-1/4 inch parts do not interchange.
The wand keeps working loose during a shift. What should I check?
Make sure the button-lock is fully engaged through the detent hole rather than resting against it, and check the cuff for wear or ovaling. Friction-fit connections loosen gradually with heavy daily use and are worth a look at the start of each shift.
Which 14 inch floor tool comes in this kit?
The part description names a 14 inch hard floor tool. ProTeam builds hard floor tools with nylon brush, horse hair blend and felt brush strips for different floor finishes; if the brush type is critical to your finish, confirm with us before ordering.
Does the kit include a crevice tool or dust brush?
The manufacturer does not publish full contents for this kit, so we will not claim it. Comparable ProTeam kits include those tools, but that is a pattern, not a confirmation for this part number.
