Does anyone know exactly when Kirby changed some of the tools in its Convenience Group set to have a textured finish?
The tools in question that had the textured finish were: Crevice Tool Surface Nozzle Utility Air Nozzle Utility Brush Nozzle At the same time, the hose tube swivel (which was still aluminum until 1987) lost the bleeder holes, but the two extension wands still had them up to the Heritage II Legend. I want to think that when the Kirby Kaddy tool chest first came out in March 1985 to replace the cardboard box, that the four tools listed above still had a smooth finish from before, and thus I hint that they first were textured in September 1985. ~Ben | ||

Hey
I'd imagine different manufacturer of tools. They could have changed molds too.
The heritage was cutting edge vacuum. I think they could have went more modern. Metal is old school vacuum. The plastic might have been attempt of cutting edge design. The heritage line lasted close to 10 years. It brought alot of success. The bigger nozzle cr1 not everyone liked, the classic 3 same with shoddy bag. The tradition was good but had design flaws and a shoddy bag. The heritage got it right. If you notice it was hit or miss with prior models. If anyone who likes Kirby's it's hit or miss on prior bigger nozzle vacuums. Everyone likes one of the heritags. Ithe turbo brought zippers brush. They had groomer tool and even a jigsaw It was there attempt to capitalize on divefsabilty of the vacuum. It was ahead of it's time in many ways. The plastic might have been a miss but heritage was a home run. Les | ||
