    What does everyone do with their old worn out wands or wands that they have purchased and did not like? I currently have 3 old POSs hanging in my shop and will soon be adding another. I have an idea for creating a custom chair in my office for a couple of them, basically have the head of the wand serve as the front feet & have the rest of it bent in an S shape to make the seat & back w/ the trigger coming out the back. Just something I am kicking around.

    I saw one company take a wand and inbed it into sign with neon lights. Look very cool at night.

    I keep them around for the occasional crappy job, like extracting muddy water out of a concrete floor basement with a bunch of pea gravel laying around. Or cleaning under deep fryers in a restaurant kitchen or something.

    I've always wanted to chrome a wand and pimp it all out with gold valve parts and solution tubing and stuff. I think that would be hilarious, to have like a "lowrider" wand that looks all ghetto.

    I keep an old wand behind my waste tank just in case I destroy the one I'm using.

    Use them to make the legs for a glass-top table or your new desk!
