Recommended traditional starter kit

My liquidator just came today but it is a different handle than that one. It is blue and black but the rubber moves when the handle moves so for the end bits to be right to catch the window properly every time, it seems as if it defeats the purpose. I've tried it loads of times on my sash casement windows and it is not too bad but i will give it a try for a full day tomorrow

Don't know where the 22" will fitThe holster will just about squeeze on that belt

Looks like it will be tight but i'm sure you will get it on somewhere

 

[Dave B]

Can you bot make the handle tighter?

 

[kev]

No mate the handle just has two teeth to catch on to the rubber and that is it. The rubber moves about when it wants.Tried it in the boab earlier and when i took the squeegee out the rubber had moved a lol so i'm just hoping i dont have to sort it before doing every window tomorrow

 

[kev]

The rubber had moved a lot! I meant

 

[kev]

This is the handle that came with it. If it had two grooves in the channel to stop the handle moving that would help

I haven't tried in those handles but i use them in unger ergotec which are pretty much the same with no problems

You could try tightening the bolts more to grip the channel tighter or like fenderjaguar did by cutting 2 notches in the channel for the handle to grip

I'll ask Bob (polzn bladz ) as i know he uses those handles sometimes

 

[Dave B]

I've just emailed him to see what he says mate

 

[kev]

Ok thanks mate

 

[kev]

The screws were a bit slack so i tightened them and it has done the trick, need no slacken them to get the channel off but that's no problem. Cheers

 

[Dave B]

No worries

6!! Lol how do you manage to fit them all on? Yeah i travel light mate. Applicator and 14 inch squeegee in a boab 2 pouches on a belt, a couple of scrims and sill cloth and a bucket and 2 section ladder and that's me all day it's all i need.

Same here pretty much mate, less is more.

I used to do window cleaning a decade ago and have decided to get back on it. Ive still got some of my old tools but wouldn't mind investing in some new kit.. Has anyone got a current list Of what to buy or can anyone advise me if any of these full kits would be worth a purchase. Looking to spend upto £100 to start with. Are these. Liquidator or ninja's worth it or are they just a fad etc? Cheers

 

[Dave B]

Liquidators are very good imo but not everyone's cup of tea

You can't beat entire handles and channels and a moerman blue microfiber applicator

Microfiber cloths from Wilkes

Job done

Hi mate, personally I wouldnt recommend the liquidator, but thats just my opinion, some people love it (how I dont know).

I would just go for the Unger squeegees, with pulex hard rubbers, get a belt bucket, applicator some cloths and micro's and you're good to go.

Goodluck

The BOAB makes me laugh, years ago I had a leather holster type thing, but these are a bloody good idea though

I remember my dad using them 30 years ago /emoticons/biggrin.png haha

A 5 foot pole with applicator attached makes life so much easier and speedier . I have found ...have a few ....patio doors especially are much easier ....hope this helps
