I would like to see how that's done. I have a Wagtail Combi Tool and am not sure I can put a Liquidator on that. Do I need a different Wagtail handle? One with a disc?

Sounds good. How did you set up the Liquidator on a Wagtail? Which Wagtail will work?

I have mine in a wagtail slimline flipper and it is the only trad tool for pole work

Polzn Bladz showed me the best technique to use and i can use it on residential work with no detailing

His vids are gone now but check out wagga (Christopher Dawber ) on youtube as he has it sussed and has a few vids on using wagtail on a pole..just swap the channel for a liquidator and it's perfect

So I tried my Liquidator on a pole using the Moerman swivel handle on 0 degrees and it works great!

Here is mine - it was once a wagtail slimline flipper as well I believe, but wagtail have changed their design a number of times. I assume any of the slim squeegees would work. Or you can get just the pivot control handle from the cleaning spot

 

[Dave B]

I have the same one wwc

I didn't drill the channel and the screw holds it fine

Also i heated the bottom of the clamp with a heat gun and squashed it against the underside of the channel to hold it tighter

Works perfect

I have seen a few of these videos using the wagtail on poles. But I can't tell what they are using between the handle of squeegee and pole. I am using Unger pole and have a Unger angle attachment. Do I need anything else?

 

[Dave B]

I use an unger adjustable angle also but what they use in the vids is a tool made by wagtail which breaks extremely easily and i just replicate the angle with my adjustable one

I'm sure @Eric Gilliand has got through a few of those as they kept breaking

Thanks Daveyboy.

Daveyboy (or anyone else /emoticons/wink.png) I think what I am going to do is go with a Wagtail Slimline handle with liquidator 18" but I want to add a flip washer on the top (not bottom) for pole work. I think I need the Wagtail Slimline Flipper Pad Clips. I think I read they fit the Liquidator channels?? But the question is what washer pad do I get or do I have to make it?

Thanks

Get a slimline flipper which has everything and then swap channels

Then you have scrubber pad and everything

 

[boarcity]

if i was you id cut a small strip of carpet or floor mop and use that

 

[Dave B]

Best to use the pad that comes with it when learning as it is nowhere near as heavy

Thanks for reply. But does the scrubber pad hang from bottom or does it flip over from the top.

I want it to flip over from the top for pole work.

That's what I was thinking as the wagtail scrubber may not be wide enough to flip over the top of handle. Hard to figure all this out when I don't have all the gear in my hands yet.

 

[Dave B]

You can put the pad either way up

Just depends whether you attach it over the top of the handle or underneath
