Get a wagtail & ask what wagga uses for poles?

I use unger swivel squeegees and either unger teleplus or optiloc poles. I would suggest a 3 x 2m pole.

i have the unger teleplus and a small optiloc pole.they have come in very handy over the years!i just used to pop my mop/squeegee on the end when needed.i also got an unger fixiclamp for detailing and angle adaptor.

im wfp now so no need for the extension poles apart from scraping birdmuck/paint of an awkward window at height and cleaning my van(i have an unger brush/hose that pops on the end of the small pole)

i bought the full 5 section unger teleplus(30ft) but ive never needed to use the 5th section.

if i get the unger adaptor ill be able to turn it into a 30 ft wfp for any bigger jobs i get in future! ;) ;D ;D ;D

very versatile and strong poles and cheap!!i got mine from the windowcleancentre.


hope this helps jonathan! ;) ;D ;D


best wishes

for 30 feet up i use a carbonfibre fishing pole i bought 2nd hand off ebay ,used with WAGTAIL flipper 12incher modified exactly as on WAGGAS great videos .

the very last section of pole is a 5 foot fibreglass section of fish pole ,i use this as its less flexy than c,f ,it has a Wagtail Pole Cap  glued onto its end . inside this very last section i slid a couple of small  section of pole of about 18 inches long,.glued these in to reinforce that tip end section .

 I use a regular pulex 3 parter  pole for windows above conservatrys,with the modded wagtail.
 those videos that Wagga has made of his modded wagtails are truly worth their weight in goLD

Cheers for the replies.  Never used a swivel so unsure if that was any good for me.
