On CIU right now there`s a `thread`on BOAB and the Unger `Ninja.
There`s never to my knowledge been a thread`on those blue coloured
Plastic / vinyl BOAB`s that are very flexible,and will hold any squeegee
And strip washer in any combination.Even a SqeeGeeMate in visa-versa
`mode.They are a Contico product I think,been around quite awhile now.
I myself personally arn`t a big `fan of BOAB`s.but I do use it occasionally.
They also I`ve found hold more water/solution without risking wetting
Your pant leg as much.What are other members views ?

I,ve used the blue one for years. I have modded mine a little and its a great boab. For me it holds 2 wagtails and a scraper right now. it also has the very handy quick release catch for when you jump in your vehicle. I NEVER use it to hold water in though, just for a holder and dripper.

I could never get on with it - it was a right knee banger. It used to be the Pulex bucket, but when Pulex & Contico merged they got to keep the boab, then Pulex turned into IPC.

I think it`s a Contico product.Might be a smaller company
Perhaps.I`ll use it a bit more this week,see how it goes and
Will report back.They work on the same priniple as Peter
Fogwill`s `Flexi-Buckets`from a few years back.Peters were
Good,but he had`nt the rescorces or facilites to make the
Joints to be welded and `studded` which is a real shame cos`
I liked em .They were ideal for assembled `SqueeGeeMates`
Which are now obsolete.( Showing my age here,better give
Up I guess)
Surely there`s someone on the group that knows what I`m on
About,unless Peter can `surface`?

P.S.  I gave one away to a competitor a few years ago,wish I
Had`nt now,I think I know who still stocks and sells them.
Inexpensive too as I recall.
