Excelerator is out on WCW

[Eric Gilliand]

Regarding the pads.Why don't they have a pad hold like in the video.

Have there clips on it.

This way you can put any type of pad you like on it.

And change you pads in seconds when get bit dirty.

LOL! Herman, I've already thought of that. Been trawling back over your old videos the last couple of weeks. All you'd need is your master sewn and shaped the same as the black material on the Fliq. Attach any damn thing you like. Thin thick or scratchy... /emoticons/smile.png

I'm looking forward to the 10° or whatever it is for closing out. I'm currently using combinator handle and it's rubbish for closing out. Still using standard liquidator channel and separate scrubber

25 is fine for almost all close out 10 is perfect on deep frames...

Yeah it's those small windows over here in oz Eric that meet the floor almost, there is nowhere for the handle to go. Even closing out to the side is hard as you have the brickwork sticking out.

I feel your pain. I'm tempted to buy one of those 'springy' Ettore Contour handles. One of those in the kit could prove very useful.

Do they have teeth that hold the rubber or is it a clip job like other ettore and do the liquidator/ex channels fit in.

Don't you think the excelerator handle is good enough for this purpose.

Not sure. Julian Pierce from Wales uses one so I'll query him. He's using Liquidator channel in it and really rates it. Hey, what trad pole did you end up with?

I would like to c a 22 inch wagtail flipper

Sent using the Window Cleaning Forums mobile app

I've been using the 10 & 14 inch fliq on normal moerman handles & there great. Not sure weather to get an excelerator one as I don't think it would make much difference to me. I wfp all windows above conservatory so can't see what difference it would make to me personally.

I am toying with the idea of the combinator tho. Been looking at a few vids but once again to get it right you gotta mod it. Somet to do I spose

Queried Julian. No, no teeth. He keeps the rubber in place by doing the 'Wagtail Ding'. However I've checked the Ettore site and they do have clipless plate kits available so where there's a will there's a way ...

for future reference let's just call it EXC. For difficult frames and deep close ledges I find I have very few issues at 10°. I have on occasion used a bit of negative angle on an adaptor to give me a genuine 0° but rarely needed.

Where from Eric, I don't think Window cleaning Warehouse in England ships to oz.

That was my gift from Moerman for being on the testing team. If you want to order from U.K. I've had excellent service from Cleaning Spot (email for a freight cost though. Their online freight calculator will make your eyeballs bleed). I still believe Racensteins in the US are hard to beat for us guys down under. Once they become widely available I'll probably place an order with them. I've got a couple of other guys over here keen to order as well so splitting freight 3 or 4 ways makes it really economical. The other option is Windows101. They push the fact they're happy to freight internationally as well.

That's a nice pouch also Eric

I like the bottle holder on the side. I have been using that for my soap

 

[Dave B]

I'm back to doing it wagga style with a bottle of soap/water in the side pouch rather than a bucket

Easy to keep the applicator clean and have a small bottle of just soap in my pouch
