Most of those sold on eBay are kobold - the same make as gardiners, you can get some great deals if you look around at "unbranded" backpacks - mobi is another that's worth looking at.

My personal opinion is that trolley will be too fragile, those wheels won't take much punishment before being knackered - it's a shame Alex has gone down this route rather than bespoke design - certainly expensive for what it is.

Hey Lads,
Like Smudger says it is a Kobold. Go to EBay JCS Sprayers, £69 you can't go wrong. Plus he is really easy to deal with if you need spares! Just found his card: Richard 01375 640800 www.jcssprayers.co.uk

Well it's not Gardiner's creation for a start, its made by a company called Marolex.

A decent consumer product maybe, but I highly doubt it would last long in use as a window cleaning trolley.
And how do you fill it?

It's missing the most obvious benefit of the pure freedom trolley, which is interchangeable barrels.

The idea that when one barrel is full you just swap it out for a new one out the boot, is why the pure freedom trolley is so popular.  This one is going to need filling somehow.  From a tank in the van perhaps?  But if you have a tank in the van why would you want a trolley?  Silly.

Just buying in someone else's plastic trolley that's probably not up to the job and that only holds 20 litres and then whacking a great fat markup on it is, in my opinion, LAME.

I'm not the only one then, brought some filters and when they arrived they had been crushed and broken, when I let him know  you'd have thought I'd taken a hammer to them on purpose  ::)roll

Shame as I was a regular customer up till then

The pump s and switches  didn't last that long in them and with all the messing  about changing them it was just as easy to buy another  one living only twenty mins drive away, they we're cheap Chinese crap .spent quite a lot off money got fed up so went to pure freedom a lot better.  Now I'm just in the process off making my own a lot cheaper and I'm using all quality parts
