I see there is another Wagtail model out called "The Combi"
A couple of clips are on Youtube.

They also now have a boab for wagtails called a "Hip Dipper"

Willie always said to swap the pad the other way for high work on a pole, so nothing copied by Wagtail.
The hip dipper is really light - only wish they had made it slightly wider so it was easier for two wagtails to go in & out.
The detailing tool with the cap may help some, it will just fit a scrim with a little effort.
The ergonomic poles also help you get a longer reach.

Yes, a boab needs to be solid and wide IMO, so you can drop your waggy(s) in, for speed and efficiancy.

The top of the hip dipper is solid. |

Hi Karl,how long are the ergonomic poles ? Is the hip dipper
Actually meant for loading your strip pad with solution ?
Lastly what is the `detailing`tool?
Can`t find anything doing a search,sorry for all these questions
But I`ve got something `on the go`right now that possibly some
Of these tools may benefit.
Thanks.

Thanks fella`s seen it now.That Wagtail hip holster looks
Excellent,the bottom part holding solution will be vinyl I
Guess.Peter Fogwill did something like this years ago that
Went `in tandem`with his `SqueeGeeMates`.He called them
`Flexi-Buckets`.They were quite good as I recall,but needed
The joints to be pastic welded.They soon leaked.

1. Willie sent me 2, one was around a foot the other around half meter. 2. It can be if you want it to be - you saw the video. 3. It´s at the end of one of the videos, you see the guy place a black cap on the ext' arm with a microfibre on it. |

The top of the hip dipper is solid. I just use the wide part of a boab to drop my flipper in. DONT use it to wet the wagtail though. Empty all the drips every now and again and try using a bottle to apply solution to your pad. The only advantage I can see to Willies new hip dipper is that it is going to be very light and certainly more comfortable. |

I sorta can't keep up with all the different models. But I know the one you are talking about. The new Wagtail Swoop has a deeper angle on the added aluminum frame on the back (like the prototype) and is also a fixed pad (not floppy). The combi sees a return to the riveted channel & centre punched but with different options of adding pads. You are not allowed to view links.
