Dyson belt lifter tool

[beko1987]

Arrived today! Certainly beats wrestling with some screwdrivers! Tested below on a DC04 I was fixing the cable on

 

[beko1987]

Whilst the roller was out, I gave it a quick clean off and oiled the bearings

Dyson Belt Lifter Tool



Sorry, I just couldn't resist! ;P

 

[beko1987]

hehe!

 

[dysondestijl]

Is it worth it? Also wouldn't it really stretch the belt too much?

 

[beko1987]

I'd say it was worth it! I've always hated removing brushrolls from Dysons, so the time it's saved me already vs the swearing and hurt fingers is enough! It seemed to stretch it less than me pulling it about and wriggling the brushroll out

Plus shiny new tools etc

 

[jfalberti]

I have a set of those tools also

and it makes the job of changing the clutch out SO much easier.  Wasn't expensive either.

The only tool I need to improve a Dyson is a wheelie bin.

 

[dysondestijl]

What, Jamie, you love dysons don't you?

 

[borusa]

here we go again ! Jamie - if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. We ALL know you don't like Dyson.

A DC01 cleans much better than your Senior Jamie!

 

[jmurray01]

"A DC01 cleans much better than your Senior Jamie! " I'll let that go, since I know you are just jealous

 

[ultimatevacman]

I've got both a DC01 and a Senior lol

 

[jmurray01]

But not a... 1977 HOOVER SENIOR RANGER!!!

 

[ultimatevacman]

I'd rather have a DC01

 

[beko1987]

Please don't ruin my thread!

 

[ultimatevacman]

Sorry Sam!

 

[beko1987]

No worries. Start a dyson bashing thread, I'll write my opinion in there if you want (I'm not completely pro dyson)

 

[jmurray01]

"Start a dyson bashing thread" Don't encourage me!!

 

[dysondestijl]

Jamie, what difference does your 1977 hoover senior ranger make to joes senior? They are both HOOVER, so why should that matter??[this post was last edited: 8/7/2013-08:40]

That Senior Ranger...

Is not as good as my Turbopower 1! Turbopower 1 has far more airflow and better hose suction.


 


Jamie, you should get a Dyson some day, maybe you will like it, I am not THAT for Dysons either, I mean, I wouldn't save one from a fire but...

No brand bashing guys. Thanks.

 

[thekirbylover]

this is why vacuumland annoys me if you're a dyson hater why comment or even look at a thread concerning dyson, I think its also very rude to attempt to ruin someones thread like that, anyway is that tool good I was think about getting one ages ago but I thought there was quite allot of effort involved in getting the belt over the metal rods

 

[beko1987]

It can take a bit of effort to get the belt onto the pegs, certainly careful placement of the lifter hook helps when getting over the legs, but once hooked the brushroll slides in easily, you can spin it to check it's all good then hook it down.

Seems to be made well too, thick chunky metal!

"Jamie, what difference does your 1977 hoover senior ranger make to joes senior? They are both HOOVER, so why should that matter??" It doesn't, I was being humerous, or trying to be. Obviously it is wasted on you lot.

 

[jmurray01]

Or humorous even...

 

[turbo500]

Jamie, whilst I appreciate that you were trying to be funny, please consider the possibility that it just wasn't funny to anyone but you.

Anyway,

the belt lifter tool...

I got one of those a while back. I'm very friendly with all my neighbours and several of them own Dysons and bring them round when they're not working right. You should've seen my living room last christmas when they all got clogged up with pine needles lol. It makes life so much easier fixing them with one of those.
