Lots of stuff on the Wagtail which appears to require modification before it can be effectively used. What about Pro-curve...anyone using one?

They look nice but they don't appear to have a the built in appicator/washer sleeve, which is not as useful in my opinion.

No they don't. Does anyone use the Unger vice versa?

I use the pro-curve. Great for interior atriums. You are not allowed to view links.

I have the Ettore Backflip - pretty good but heavy. A friend of mine uses a Backflip on a pole rather than ladders and he is awesomely fast with it and does a good job as well. |

It gets easier - I really only use it for awkward atrium windows. It makes a great wfp as well.

Been there done that. Its heavy for a start. Not only this it doesnt swivel which you will find critical for effective pole use. When you need to put an angle on it to clear a cill etc then you need to reverse the angle again when you come to blade it off requiring the pole to be brought down. Cant have a detailing tool on it. Having said all this it will take months of practise to do effective trad pole work. Its taken me ten years using the wagtail to get where I am. I do half or more of my round with wfp now but I still rate wagtail pole work for the freedom you get from all the wfp equipment.  |
