I know to wrong to carry a squeegee in one hand and a T bar in the other climbing up the ladder but I just don't like wearing the bucket all day carry my squeegees when I am working.

I thinking of getting something like this below http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00KS6RUX6/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/280-4765328-2463868

It maybe the worst idea ever but there is a hole on my squeegees handle and was thinking of getting those hook though the squeegge handle hole and clip it to my trouser.

What you reckon?

 
Bits dangling down may catch on your ladder. Also I’m thinking using those would not be the quickest way to work compared to using a boad?

Guess you will have to try some to see if it’s any good or not.

 
It's the position of the boab which is hard to get used to

Try having it more to the side if it feels like it is in the way

Yeah I not really though it out.

been going up the ladder for years without the bucket belt, tried to get used to it every now again but always keep taking it off. I find it distracting knocking my leg going up the ladder.

raise it up so the top of the bucket is fixed level with your belt. theres a few ways of doing this , it stops it swinging for one thing and all round improves the experience

 
cant live without my boab now....love em..sometimes gets complicated with two on..../emoticons/biggrin.png

not to mention doing insides....I no longer take a bucket in...

 
I couldn't be without my modded boab now

Had 4 squeegees and a big and small applicator in mine today

 
To be honest I don't like wearing a boab much either so I guess that is another good reason why I went wfp /emoticons/biggrin.png

i don't like boabs either. i use 2 hammer holders to keep squeegees in.

 
You could try using a holster, u get unger ergotec double holster, i think u could put ur applicator and squeegee in there and then get a sorbo double for a couple more squeegees like what i have. But u will possible get more annoyed by dripping tools on ur legs.

Just try and get used to ur boab, it used to annoy me on any long walks, but short walks up a ladder and around a house doesnt bother me

 
I go canvassing with it still on my belt

Doesn't bother me after this many years with one

Me neither, as u said earlier, i think its all about positioning it perfectly so it doesnt whack into the side of your knee lol

 
It helps i am 6'2" and it is mostly in my legs (never get my size jeans long enough so have to get bigger waist)

Misses my knee

 
I would say that your safety should be your number one priority when you are up the ladder; stick to what you know best
