But of a contradicting statement, most of us turn to electric reels to make the day easier and faster and then you want to fanny about with ladders to make the day harder?

Can anyone send me a link to where the best place is to get a Clover Reel from?  MY usual suppliers don't sell them so need to look elsehwhere, thought i'd ask on here first.

Thanks.

Thats a clabber reel which i already have and everyone on heres give me a beating say they no good for diy electric.  Its the clover reel i need not clabber.  Thanks

I wouldn't use a clover either. I did for a couple of years but they are not the smoothest of reels and tend to move side to side throwing the chain off.

I now use a pure freedom reel for my d. I. Y Conversion, its much better, smooth as silk.

some people like fannying around with DIY stuff...fair play but i dont......when you ve been cleaning windows for 27 years(17 trad/10 wfp)then its better(IMO) to just go out and buy the best purpose built equipment on the market rather than a botch it job made by myself that constantly needs fixing/tweaking/etc.....then i can just concentrate on cleaning as fast and efficiently as possible and other aspects of my business...

Understandable, if a person hasnt got any DIY skills what so ever, then I can understand them wanting to exchange with their money for one. 
However, DIY ones can be botched together and do the job well and then you have the opposite end where a DIY one looks the business. It all depends on your skills and a tools you have to build one

I'd rather go back to trad with an old car than have your van DIY set up with carpet tiles in the back nathan.......

You appear to be quite vain in your old comfy years daz!
Absolutely no leaks and all neat n tidy. Whats not to like.  In addition, from first glance you cant even tell its an electric reel as well.   No clutter and I absolutely know how everything works in the back of the van, no suprises for me lol.....oh, and the chains come off once in over two years
