Do suppliers actually use the equipment they sell
« on: July 25, 2003, 01:52:28 am »
I bought a new Unger washer frame the other day which for a peice of plastic wasnt cheap. More irritating than that though is every time you take it out of the bucket the handle collects a small amount of water which runs down your arm when you start to use it.  >:( Surely it wouldnt take much effort to put a hole in the base so the excess water actually fed into the sleeve from the inside. This would also save plastic which could be reflected in the price!!
Maybe I should patent the idea if no-one else has thought of it already ;D

Ott's washer T bar has a hole at the end inside the handle, perhaps the guy who designed it got a wet arm too some time in his life maybe when he was a window cleaner.

8) I think some of them do as you can get good advise sometimes - the idea of the drain hole is good but not patentable

The ergotech handles have a hole there.

But IMO the best water retention would have to go to the ettore pro grip ones. They don't have a hole there, but it takes a flick of a wrist to turn the washer sideways to get the water out. Takes a minute to drill a tiny hole.

remember, water will also travel the other way too. If you have a hole, surely the water will run down your arm when you are using it.

It's under one of the recesses. And yea, you would think so on the ergotech handles, but...it doesn't somehow. Haven't used it in quite some time, can't remember what it looks like anymore.
