Which 4m pole to fit wagtail?

[Ian mccallum]

Hi, could anybody advise a 4m pole to fit a wagtail whirlwind?

What about an unger from screwfix?

Any type of pole would do bud as you can mod it anyway like wagga has done.

Wagga & Mark makes it look so easy don't they?

Mind you H-Man has some good mod vids on here to show you how to make any type of pole be it wfp or trad gear fit together using quick-loq method too.

Mind you norm between them both they have over 50 years worth of trad experience which might help a wee bit

i always buy a Harris pole and then fit an Anza pole tip for wagtail use . you can buy both [pole and tips)these in BnQ ,

lasts a long time and not too heavy for daily use

I like H-Mans pole converstions probably the best as he also uses a plastic wfp angle crank which is a must when using a wagtail to adjust it to get the right angle on the glass. Being quick-loq design can fit anything on the pole you want if you mod your trad tools too and to top it off the same pole can be used as a wfp if attaching a wfp brush & hose.

H-man is one smart cookie for sure /emoticons/smile.png

For exterior cleans wfp is alot easier to master as even I can do that norm /emoticons/biggrin.png

if it doesnt work out for me thinking backpack possibly @Smurf

 

[Smurf]

Norm If you go down the wfp backpack/trolley route like I did for starters you will eventually end up with a van mount for sure as even wagga has one now. /emoticons/biggrin.png Not only that you would be able to take on more jobs that trad would be difficult/impossible to do./emoticons/wink.png

Have a bit of thinking to do about this @Smurf as a lot of money is involved

Its pretty impressive stuff, the way they get through those windows. Its something that I would like to become good at, but there are a couple of things that I cant figure out:

1) They dont ever seem to detail the windows (apart from the top of the pane)....wont there be water/soap marks around the edges.

2) Whenever I use a pole I like to wipe my blade after each pull, to avoid leaving lines. They dont seem to do this in this video. Isnt there a danger of lines being left.
