I bought an angle adapter for tradtitional pole work recently.
Really wish I'd bought one sooner!
I do a lot of shops and when you do the insides there's often not a lot of space to work with.
For example I do a lot of jobs where I need to use the pole inside with only about two or three feet between the window and shop display cabinets (which cannot be moved). Previously it was difficult to get the right angle on the window for a good finish, now with the angle adapter it's a doddle.
If you use a pole for inside work and you don't already use a pole adapter, I'd really recommmend it.
(I do have the Pro Curve as well, but I think I prefer just the angle adapter.)

Wagtail. Do an Argos store inside and out and my specially adapted Wagtail takes care of all those awkward angles!  |

Yeah, so I hear. I'll have to try one.
What do you mean by specially adapted?

As long as you don't use too much water it's OK.
You only pole the upper half of the window. The water runs down into the bottom half of the window where you finish off the usual way and have the applicator underneath catching the drips.

I was out this afternoon practising with my 18ft ettore. Pissed myself laughing as I was making a dogs ar*e out the first window. The woman came out, looked at the state of it, saw me pi**ing myself laughing, applicator crashing on the frame, then the cons roof as I tried desperately to lower the pole. If it wasn't my mums house . . .

Once I got passed all that though I got really into it. Bit of bother squeegeeing to start with as I couldn't seem to get full contact on the window, put a little pressure on the pole and stood back a bit, with a little bend in the pole I didn't lose any contact. Threw the scrim over the squeegee and tidied it all up a bit. (all tips I got from here so thanks lads) |

nice pic Mark. I see what you mean. sort of narrow.
Wish I could post pics. My son is doing an IT course but he does'nt seem too keen to help me!
Anyway I expect you know by now what I'm going to say about awkward situations like that by now!
