Ah, I use the QuicK-LoQ™ Angle Adapter (Type 1) Gooseneck.

Though, being a rebel, I change the position of the locking cam so it's on the right hand side and facing away.  Shows just how wacky I am.

Thank you. Do the franchisees do the same?

Yup.  They all also have the extender adapter: http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/goosenecks-pole-fittings/plastic-gooseneck-system/quick-loq-extender-angle-adapter.html

That way if there's ever anywhere where they need a sideways reach they can use that in an emergency.  I don't think any of the franchisees have ever used it, but as I've mentioned before we have almost no non-commercial work and residential windows are rarely set back too far.

Swivel neck - nothing else. Why? Because it makes a long collapsed pole more usable. Keeps the brush head flat to the glass and rotates the brush through railings.
Swap it for fixed for gutters and finials.
+1            Although I just tighten the screw when I need a fixed brush head.

i usually use the standard quikloc resi neck for most work and carbon goosenecks for solar panels and a few deep ledge window jobs.however with the release of the univalve i might change to a carbon gooseneck for most work as they are very very light and i can have total water control with a univalve fitted.i currently use a pole hose tap at brush end but i cant use them with a carbon gooseneck fitted.
price higher/work harder!

Nobody in their right mind would put the tap forty feet up on the brush head.

It always seems totally daft to me. Of the two evils, surely a loop and the tap on the pole is the lesser of the two.

Resi Neck Swivel in my opinion the best gadget on the market, did a front yesterday with an awkward window above a porch, stood to one side and hey ho no problem little twist of the pole and got the brush horizontal from an angle, takes a little getting used to but once it's mastered there's no going back, expensive carbon gooseneck consigned to the shed.

How strange: "Micky Barber", the guy who thumbs up many of Chumbucket's posts (currently banned) agrees entirely with his view on swivels.  Why, they could almost be the same person!
