It depends on how much you've used it. They're meant to last a long time so typically they have tight tolerances that have to be broken in. If you're not daily driving it then it might not be broken in yet.
If you have been giving it regular use I would take a wipe and wipe the inside of the wand and see if there's any dirt that's built up. |

It's 13 YO now and is my daily driver. It was very easy to insert the handpiece into the wand when it was new. I'll give it a wipe and see if that helps. Thanks. |

Sounds like it could be "out of round". |

Could be humidity related causing the plastic to bind together from the temperature of your room or house. Plastic expands when hot, shrinks when cold. When I had some spare vacuum accessories in my garage and I went out to fetch an extension tube when it was like...18 out...really quick, I accidentally dropped it onto the concrete floor. The wand extension broke totally to pieces!
Try rubbing powdered graphite around the inside of one end and the outside of the other where they fit together. Or try a light coating of this (or maybe even some automotive plastic wax - something to thinly lubricate that won't draw dirt) www.amazon.com/Jaws-ECOGu... |
