Anyone here a Wagtail fan? Here is a video on one of the latest models, the Wagtail Swipe - it pivots in two directions.

Seems a bit to OTT to me. Is this the start of the Unger way of continuously bringing out a new product that does exactly the same as the previous one just to keep new sales going - i.e. ninja crap which I bought in to and which now sits in a cupboard unused?

I use a wagtail combi (the older one shown in the video) or what ever it called. Seems to do the job perfectly.

Also 'quite unique'. Either it's unique or it isn't. There is no 'quite unique' or 'completely unique'.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Herman made one in 1948 using a scaffold pole and a yoghurt pot.


I think it could work on a pole where the angle is so difficult to get right.

Ross, Wagtail is not made by Unger as far as I know.  :)

 ;D

What I meant was that maybe wagtail are starting to do the same as unger by reinventing the wheel so to speak.
