Anyone use a swivel on their pole?

[Dave B]

Ordered a swivel gooseneck with my 35cm ultimate from Gardiners yesterday

Anyone use one?

I like the idea as i am used to tradding with wagtails and excelerator but not sure how it will work out doing sills etc

I have one on my 22' pole. I like it quite tight as if it's loose it flops about a lot. Takes some getting used to but I wouldn't be without it now.

No good on a 35' pole as you can't get the control of the swivel at that height.

Yep!! Carnt believe I never used to use them I wouldn't use a standard gooseneck anymore, you don't have them loose as they just flop around I have mine set just tight enough that when I come up to an awkward window I push the brush against the glass and it squares the brush up. I think there fantastic

I didn't like the swivel in my early days with wfp, but that may be because I hadn't perfected my technique with the fixed gooseneck at that point. That was nine years ago. I tried the q-loq swivel about a year ago and fell in love with it straight away.

I wouldn't be without the swivel now. I find it really useful.

Took me 3 times to get used to it, love it now

Yep - they are superb. Agree that it might be a pain at full length, just carry a decent flat blade screwdriver around with you so you can tighten it up on the tall jobs.

I've got one and some houses I can do both upstairs Windows from the same spot. My shoulder pain on my right has eased off since. I also tend to use the brush vertical a lot since( shake the day up a bit)
