What I would like to see Alex adding to the Quick-loq range is an angle Quick-loq that screws onto the brush head.
Hi Spruce
What is your preferred angle on this ?
Do you also use a swivel?
Hi Alex,
We have always used these;
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/brushes/brush-fittings-jets-sockets-scrapers/brush-socket-screw-angled.html and they have worked well for us. For some reason we have a number of houses where the top window frame is linked to the fascia and the only way to scrub that is to face the brush upwards so as not to come into contact with the fascia.
The angled threaded brush holder was great as it made working slightly easier. For me it made the brush more 'stable' meaning that I don't have to hold the pole as tightly to stop it tipping over, especially if using narrower width brushes. (I'm starting to suffer with painful joints - a bit of arthritis. Someone younger probably is wondering what the drama is all about.) The only way I can explain it is that it has a lower center of gravity. (I know that doesn't make sense when cleaning a vertical window but the point of drive with the pole is closer to the brush head.)
The old Vikan car washes brushes had/have a different angle and those were never right.
I have seen the threaded adaptor to Quickloq
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/brushes/brush-fittings-jets-sockets-scrapers/quick-loqtm-brush-adapter.htmlbut I see that this isn't ideal when you swap brush heads around like I do. Each brush would have to have its own adaptor.
I have a swivel for use with both the threaded male and another for the 90 degree brush socket. I haven't used a swivel for a long time now. There are a couple of houses where a swivel would help and I had thought of a separate pole with one fitted, but a swivel isn't really an issue.
