Can't go wrong with Unger.

Everyonehas there own preferences, but heres mine. Unger and Ettore are both good. I have both, but I much prefer the Ettore squeegees- all depends what you are used to though. As for pouches, the big unger pouch is almost essential IMHO. I've got the heavy duty ettore pouch too which is very well made, but just a bit small for big cloths etc. The basic unger belt is virtually indestructible and has some useful loops on it.

Is this the Unger pouch you mean?

I use unger for everything and am happy but recently been messing with ettore handle and channel as it is a wider channel and seems to work better modified

I have my scrims dangling too. I just use the unger pouches for sill cloths, scraper, and paint brush. I'm toying with some ideas for my cloths at the moment and I'll post them up when I get them sorted, but I like the rings idea.:thumbsup:

A mix of the two- belt or shoulder. Sometimes I use my bunghole like one of those towel holders in the 80's, but the damp cloth chafes my starfish.

Keep us posted on that one tolish. Must admit, I am not a pouch man. I tend to have my big glass cloth draped around the back of my neck for most of the year and then In my coat pocket during colder/wetter times. Any other dry cloths tend to hang from my back pockets and the sill cloth......well, that could be anywhere. Organised or what!

Be careful with ya starfish mate. Too much chafing will lead to Infection and then your mrs will have to apply medicated cream. It could all go badly wrong from that point lol

As for squeegees....its unger for me....try a few different size blades.

My Ettore pouch that on the back of my belt doesnt even have anything in it, I just have it there to cover my builders crack as the belt always pulls my trousers down./emoticons/biggrin.png

Careful....mrs tolish might get Ideas and before you know it, she will have strapped something on that will make your eyes water.

No risk of that... she knows I don't like onions.

I recently bought two of these, after years of making my own;

The nylon belts that you get with BOAB's etc. tend to collapse after a while. I went round the shops and bought a thick strong leather one (4cm) for a fiver, and it is very good.

I use the Unger belt, with some of the accessories. Most importantly the Unger braces, poinc, scraper holder.

(That should have read Pouch)
