I love using a swivel on normal 2 storey houses. I find it impossible to use higher than that as I can't get it to square up if it goes off track. Have you used a swivel before Smurf?I tried the new gardiner swivel socket out today and must say it worked a treat /emoticons/smile.png
I've been using the Swivels for a year now.How do you chaps get on with the socket swivel doing conny roofs as I've not tried it out yet on roof frames ect?
They do a longer version now too.....http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/QuicK-LoQ-Resi-Neck-Type1-Swivel_Long1.html
CnC, reading your posts, you should change your screen name to "Disaster Waiting To Happen" (DwtH)must look into this....i er..broke my angle adapter the other day.....i wanted to try my trick of sliding the brush sideways to get it through some railings...only...i had glued the brush to stop it slipping in the past and my stubborn wouldnt give up attitude meant i broke the plastic at the pole end...grrrr ruined a good day...i hate getting slowed down on a good day..
when home i got my mole grips...they are easy to find unlike my other tools...as they are fastened to the recliner settee pull to recline as it broke...
and i soon got the adapter off and went to find one of my two spares from my box in the boot....only to find they are not all the same...grrrrrrr.....the brush head thread was different...so being crafty and desperate for a quick fix i split the new angle adapter and swapped the broken bit the pole bit over....only to find ...the clamping teeth are different...i wish things were universal...
of course it held the brush for awhile....but there is nothing worse than a slipping brush head....and dangerous too as of course it can mark the glass....
all i get off my brush head seller is its a German thread...which as they won the war...i take it is the euro thread...well i think they think they did....calm down basil...../emoticons/biggrin.png
so guys what do i buy....got to hold my head up high...
CnC is a PHD I'll have you know- Persistently Hounded by Disaster!! /emoticons/biggrin.pngCnC, reading your posts, you should change your screen name to "Disaster Waiting To Happen" (DwtH)[emoji39]
Seriously CnC, even though they need modifying to work well, the Gardiners quick loq system is the best available in my opinion. Though, if they aren't made a bit better soon, someone is bound to come up with a better alternative.

I found it a ball ache, especially trying to get at the finial and the brush flopping about . In my mind a swivel is only good when it's flat on glass. Others have said they use it on connys - kudos to them.How do you chaps get on with the socket swivel doing conny roofs as I've not tried it out yet on roof frames ect?
Think I'll pass on that thank you.Go to the unger website and it might change yer mind /emoticons/biggrin.png
