I used 1 of these just the once as when I climbed the ladder the water went down my leg and if it wasnt full enough it didnt get your sponge wet!!

just a question about the bucket on a belt. im wondering how many of you use it as a bucket ie carry water in it and how many use it just to hold tools.

I tend to use it as a tool holder and still end up with a wet leg, which can be embarassing at times   :-[

i try and use only as a tool holder but sometimes get lazy and fill it with water so i dont have to carry my bucket everywhere. this is particurlaly tempting when climbing over locked gates but i usually end up wet and regretting it.

Fellows, a bit of lino and some super glue is all I needed to eliminate "BoB leg"

if ya put the applicator back a bit more carefully, you won't get a wet leg

so those of you who use B o B just as tool holder do you take your bucket with you all the time? i know this is the best way but its not always practical, for me anyway.

I take my bucket from house to house (domestic work), but I leave it in front of each one. It is a pain though. :-/

so....what are you guys saying? that you go up ladders applicator and squeegee in hand?

my old boss used to do that, cause when he started they had applicators and squeege's, but not B on B's. i did used to do the same thing, climbing up with the squeege placed on top of the applicator both in one hand. but using the bucket is much easier

Yes us old codgers used to have to carry applicators & squeegees up the ladder in one hand before BoBs. Or if like me you could stand a wet arse the squeegee went in the back pocket with your scrim in the other. I still usually have a little squeegee in my back pocket for many reasons and the one I'm mainly using (12 or 14) in the BoB. ;)

P.S. It doesn't matter how careful you are, if you clean as many windows as I do during the course of a day - you still end up with a wet leg. :P

carry your detergent in a sqeezy bottle in your pouch apply it to your applicator as and when ,use the bucket on a belt to carry your tools ,including your damp applicator.leave the conventional bucket in the van or near by ,wash the applicator betwween jobs ... easy.

Today I was cleaning an office doing 1st floor window about 25ft high with a 15ft glass panel underneath. I set the ladder so I can soap the panel and window on the way up, then squeegee down. It is about 50 climbs. I started at 5am and finished at 7am.I used 2 buckets of water. You try doing this with a damp applicator and a squeezy bottle. Not so easy. Also not very profitable. ::)

im with stooby on this. especially when windows are more dirty (and big) the more water the better.
