Come on be nice 
Know not everyone like Wagtail Squeegees.
Most people don't even know what certain models look like.
We have pictures all models that have been on the market all up, excluding the ( Precision Glide )
Plus  will be showing modifications so to be able to make using these squeegees easier.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WHY??<<<<<<<<<<<<<
People have asked me in the past.
WHY do these modifications.
In my early twenties had an indusial accident leaving the right hand with restricted movement at the wrist.
When starting out window cleaning at 46.
Found that using a standard squeegee was never going to happen.
As it was too restrictive because of injure had earlier in life.
At this time had discovered Wagtail Squeegee, it was a yellow two piece disc on wider channel (Orbital).
This did make it easy to use (HOWEVER)
Still it did not work quite right as hands were cramping, shooting pain in wrist forearms which extended to the shoulders.
Not long after discover was getting Arthritis hands, fingers.
Have also developed a handle you grip – less, avoiding those times you get cramping from gripping a small diameter handle all the time.
So hope everyone will understand why we do this.
Just hope it will help other people that may be in the same situation.

Why is it a problem With Face Book?

[samson]

You started cleaning at 46    Do you use WFP, or are you a ladder monkey ?    I do like your engineering ideas though 

[H MAN]

HAHAHA Yes use WFP
Yes used ladders very little now.
Know the saying work smarter not harder.

Thank you for the complements.
Funny you should bring that up.
Only today have received  new type of angle adapter from a manufacture here in Australia.
Based on an idea had a few years ago.

Surely there's only so much you can do to a window cleaning tool? You really need a forum for all that stuff? I would reflect on the 'get a hobby' suggestion, and not one which involves machinery,  modification or traditional window cleaning. Seriously, your life must be as stagnant as the old newt pond in Keynsham.

Yes must admit it must seem pretty boring to people that it is not relevant too.
In the way of making it easier to use tools for the  people find hard or not able to as is due to old injures or other things that restrict how they are able to use any tools.
Only if you have these things you will know what we mean.
