Hi,

Was going to order the starter package but then I saw a Wagtail and wondered if that would be better than getting t piece & covers? Then just get a scraper etc seperately.

Cheers,

Steve

 
I use tbar and modified squeegee

Never tried a wagtail. .keep saying I will but then find something else that catches my eye on interwebby sites

 
Yup! Similar to Boarcity....Wagtail Slimlines and Wagtail Applicators on car showrooms/shops etc.....

Didn't like the pad on the Wag Applicators, so I use Unger Microstrips or the Ettore Porcupines :thumbsup:.

For internals I use hand-held sprayer and Wagtail Flippers.

 
some folk get "the wag" on the first day,some take ages . took me 6 months! its like ballroom dancing !

i found the best way is not to try hard with it , but stick with it and itll suddenly find you /emoticons/smile.png

I must agree with boarcity but for me I've been having problems using it on a pole for high windows, in the end I bought a visa versa from Unger and I think its better by far. :thumbsup:

For pole work using a Wagtail, you'll need either the Angle Adapter or an Adjustable Angle Arm.....makes a massive difference for pole work :thumbsup:.

I use the Wagtail Compound Angle on my Swimming Pool Pole and home-made Flexi Pole..

And I have a couple of the 'Angle Arms' with one attached to my Unger Pole...

flipping heck @Bingo your either an early saturday riser or ya are a late party er

Nah...I'm a bit of a weirdo who doesn't tend to sleep much.....always been the same.

Been up and about since 3.00am today.

I blame my childhood job as a 'milk-boy' starting at 4am at the age of 10 delivering milk, and after you finished the milk round it would be off to the chicken sheds to collect the eggs and shovel the all the :turd::turd::turd: onto the muck-spreader.....then off to school.

Happy days them, earning your own money /emoticons/biggrin.png:D......kids today don't know what they're missing.

Thanks Bingo I have got the above but I couldn't work out which way the angle went round, I know that sounds daft but I just can't get the hang of the wagtail.

With the pole held vertical in front of you, the 'angle tip' should be pointing 'away' from the glass.
