Lee, i've seen the trailer, what new ideas or innovations will Wagga be showing us in the full version?

Hey, this film is not focused on products but having said that he is using the new Wagtail Orbit. In a separate 'tool box' set of films he will show case other products like the Wagtail SlipStream, AquaTap... that type of thing and they are more for education how to use and fix etc.

We have recently landed the new Jetstream from Wagtail that is set to confuse window cleaners further lol... we have an interview with its creator Willie Erken in this next mag issue...

Yer, nice chap. I find his wagtail modifications interesting and his skill with it amazing. What does concern me though is that some of the videos are in my opinion bad advice. Lots of people will view them and think that securing an ibc tank with straps is a good idea. I disagree.

What would you consider as good advise for installing an ibc tank?


The advice would be not to, the frame is not strong enough

The frame is strong enough Lee.
I crashed with a full 650l on.

Wouldn't trust the eyelets if that's what he was strapping it to though.

Thanks. Im a crash tested guy myself. But I do know Great Britain has been transporting things for years ( and some real unusual loads ) with simple straps. Of course the anchor point need to be suitable.

It looks to me like old Wagga could do with some advice himself- by what he's using to clean windows with!! :o

Oh, how so?

Tongue in cheek dear boy :P

However, since you ask- Why is he using a pole as fat as a drain pipe on wee domestics? What's going on at the brush end? It all looks OTT & very cumbersome. An SL-Xtreme or SLX with a resineck swivel + Xtreme brush would make for a much easier & quicker day!! ;)

The video's very good & I am a Wagga fan too ;)

I am a wagga fan, top man for sharing his ideas.
I'm sure wagga realises you can buy better equipment poles ect
but it's so easy to spend (waste) money now on equipment I know
I have all sorts that I don't use the latest must have equipment ::)roll
Point is wagga shows a lot of cheaper ways to do the same job as a guy
Who's spent thousands.

Yeah it is hard to master. This is something I plan to master for internal work like high car showroom glass this coming summer. Figured I would learn to use the wagtail flipper on the end of a wfp for greater internal heights.

I think most people will agree some of wagga's videos and kit are not the greatest , BUT some of the videos are 2-3 yrs old and i think most of us have to admit some of our own kit and methods might not have been the greatest in the past

When i switched from Trad to WFP over 5 yrs ago  i was the first windy in my area to switch so i had no one to show me or teach me how to wfp so i watched the odd video on You Tube .

And when things went wrong and i was stuck and losing the odd custy along the way the only i could find answers was the internet mainly this forum TBH .

But some of waggas videos will have helped people and will help people and by the looks of it he has a good business appears to live in a nice house in a nice area .

Which is what most people want in life so Wagga i doff my cap to you Sir  ;) . Mike

That rivet gun video is what one in the online business would call 'VIRAL' - Wagga is an awesome dude. I am very protective of him as he gives so much to the industry and cruel things had been said to him in the recent past that put him in a bit of a bad place.

Its quite sad to read that Lee. I'm very appreciative when people take the time and trouble to help others with tips and the like and provide videos etc  as Wagga has done. I've found his videos very informative and helpful.
   I wasn't to keen to see him doing a video of the opening of a reach it mini pole though. To me it just demonstrated that you and/or reach it mini had found a way to utilise his 'viral videos' and popularity. No bad thing in itself, but to open a box?
 I'm liking Herman Wielands videos ,also known as window cleaner bloke.

 He's similar to Wagga, well before Wagga sold out !  ;D

Next week he might open up a Gardiner's pole - neutral is the key.... any new innovations and products must be viewed closely..... Wagga has not sold out, you just didnt like the pole he was looking at :)

What length program do you have time or would prefer to view? For example we have 40 to 60 mins worth of footage for the Working With Wagga and I would be happy to air it as a hour long program or I could trim to 3 20 minute programs......... your thoughts

I do feel that I cant get enough of a story in 10 and 15 minute segments..... what do you think?

Which viewing length would you prefer to sit down to?

15 to 20 mins

20 to 30 mins

30 to 40 mins

45 to 60 mins

Thanks :)

The full shabang. 60 minutes.

But I would probably split it up in 2 - 3 watches.

Either a full video, or split into 3 separate videos. Either way I will be watching it all. :)

You post made me smile..... 'either way you will be watching' - true WCM TV fan right there. We ran a pole in our FB group ( 3rd largest window cleaning related group I think now ) and it looks like ppl like 30 minutes so it looks like this one could be in 2 parts at this rate :)
