Wagtails
« on: November 20, 2012, 09:44:22 am »
I have a large job coming up that involves a lot of internal tall panel glass, I'm good with a pole but was considering a wagtail.

Have any of you used these and which do you consider would be best.

I used a ladder last time but that was for a builders clean, and now there is a lot more furniture around.

Thanks for you comments Roy

Wagtail is a great tool for use on a pole, it takes a little time to get the technique right but once mastered you will love it!

Wagtails are great; no changing tools to begin with - so a great time saver - and just so easy once you get the hang of it.

A very clever but simple bit of kit.

Hi Tosh do you use the flip over or the one pass?

I use the flip over; I've tried another one-pass tool (an Unger one) and never got on with it.

The flip over one is very accurate and it's easy to flip.

start practising as soon as you get it as does take a while to pick when using on a pole, 
also consider the unger vice versa or the ettore back flip, I find it quicker to use a reversal if I have an easy acces box section to do.

I'm the humourless fool.  Swearing aint allowed.  I don't think you should be drinking while posting; you're not good at it.
