What do you think of my goose neck??

[Baldmonkey]

Just been engineering a few bits and pieces and would really appreciate your thoughts on this goose neck, full carbon fibre tubing with gardiner based adjustable base and brush attachment... Around 600mm length and light as a feather.. Let me know your thoughts ?

I did a fsg clean the other week and one of the upstairs windows was a bay window and the gutter ran above it, couldnt get to it without getting the ladders out ? so this would have been very useful.

also will use it on solar cleans to keep the pole high enough so i dont touch them with the bend .

nearly fainted at the price of the ones from gardiner and they are a fixed angle too

The Gardiner ones are a tad expensive, I've got one so know. Very much like the look of that, let me know when they're for sale ?‍. As you say the ones in the market are fixed neck, which is fine as long as you've got the room to move to make the angle work.

do you think a swivel headed version would be a good addition @Part Timer or would a fixed head be better on a gooseneck?

With the long goosenecks it is hard to stop them spinning in the clamps, I use 45cm brushes. I would think a swivel would seriously compound the problem.

see what you mean, was looking at a range from 1100mm or so down to a 200mm, might be worth putting a swivel on the shorter ones, find the swivels bloody great in comparison to fixed heads
