Scraper advice please :)

This is how they are secured, so if you can get a gooseneck down the pole and secure the scraper between the clamps then yes you can.

Thanks Part Timer! I did think it might be the case. Just wanted to make sure before I commited. Thanks!

 
The pole manufacturers want accessories to be in house. If Unger don't make anything for their pole then you are pretty much screwed.

I know my last post wasn't helpful but that's the way it is.

When we first started window cleaning we used Unger tools. When we went wfp we used Unger Teleplus poles. There is a cone adaptor for those and an Unger Scraper.

Although I have a Gardiner scraper on my pole there are still a few occasions where we need the get the Ungerpole out of the van with a bladed scraper to remove welded on bird lime.

Sometimes to get the angle right at height we need to use an Unger angle adapter. But this is the worst tool we have on the van.

Spruce you're a star! Thanks so much. I do have Unger trad gear too - which does have a scraper on the side of the applicator (it's a quick release one - so won't work with my poles, but it's like a scouring pad). It's not ideal - but I could maybe buy a pole to use with this?

Again - thanks for the input!
