Yeah I change my water and rinse my applicator regular throughout the day, I'm putting in an order for more equipment soon, so was hoping to pick you guys brains for some ideas on what to add to my arsenal haha

On my belt I have a pouch for scrim, one for sill cloths, phone pouch, admin pouch with windows cleaned slips, notepad, pen, change, boab with 14inch applicator, 14+10 in squeegee, pocket scraper and bottle off water and washing up liquid. May add a small spray bottle of degreaser for very dirty 1st cleans, and a bottle of drinking water in the summer.

 

[cmack001]

Nice one mate, I really need to be more productive with equipment. I've struggled by building up my run. Think it's time I started investing in myself more

I'd say a notepad is a good idea, just in case someone says, "I'm away next month so can you leave it", or " can you do my mums/dads/dogs windows. Or if you get a walk up you can get all the info on the spot without having to pop back to the car/van. There's a pic floating around on here of my belt, I'll try dig it up.

Thanks, that would be much appreciated mate. I'm going to put in an order for new gear next week, so any help with tips is all good with me. Thanks again

I've added an extra pouch since to hold water and few extra bits

 

[cmack001]

That's the kind of belt I'm going for to be honest. I may add a squeegee holster to it.

In the pouch is workbook with prewritten dockets in, pen, spare scraper blades, various window lock keys, customer keys, sill scrim/swab.

Very small amount of change in back pocket, wallet in cargo pocket.

Bucket on belt carries 14" applicator & 12" squeegee.

Dry Scrim is on shoulder.

Phone is on belt case along with leatherman tool.

Spare rubber in the bucket along with a 14" channel/rubber, spare liquid (water already has cleaning liquid mixed in) 5" ettore scraper.

Everything else such as spare water, pole, cloths etc is in back of the van.

Often I'm only in 1 road all day, 2 roads at most.:thumbsup:

What holster do you recommend? Im thinking of adding a 18/22 and a chopped down one like yours the same width as the handle and the clips.

@daveyboy have you a link to that double holster mate? What your liquidators are in.

Also what's best spray bottle holder to get guys?

Just ordered 2 unger ergo pouches

 

[Dave B]

The sorbo holster is the one to use for big channels but harder to get hold of here..maybe cleaning spot may have it



Paul from this forum did a vid once of his modded one

Got fed up of the big unger pouches so dumped them and got some of the work trousers with flappy pockets. Small detailing clothe in one pocket and big microfiber for sills and frames in the other. Ninja bucket on belt filled up with solution.
