4:19 you may want to use the index finger for pointing, the middle finger is an insult gesture in the us. A fine tool video.

Thank you very much indeed :)
That's a nice pole. I like your explanation on the Moeman tools, very helpful.. Great vid Peter..
ACME Window Cleaning Company cool mate thanks! how you doing?
Trad - Man keeping it glassy Peter, no classy.. :)
Awesome job bro keep up the hard work 👊🏼👍🏼
John Ryan thank you john! hope you and family are well
Hi Trad man.
Another great informative video. Just wondering how long your getting g out of the bronze wool pad and are you using it much for first cleans?
Cheers Wayne
Wayne Window hey m8 thanks! i get about a month
I have a personal favorite set of tools from ettore and sorbo! Although I have been iffy before on all the moremon tools because of the negatives I've heard about it. I'm gonna give it a try though can't really judge it if you haven't tried right?! Bad ass video trad!
Owen Gollaba thanks bud. yeah the moerman stuff takes a minute to get used to ;)
How is your pole in terms of rigidity? I have used the unger before and now using the moermon extension pole and when fully extended has too much flex in the pole to keep control of the liquidator. Is this teleskoptic more rigid? Anything under 15 feet I seem to have good control after collapsing the weeker sections...just not getting as high as needed.
+Paul Campbell yes the teleskopic pole is defo more rigid than the Unger and moerman
Hi Trad Man! I enjoyed this video very much. Hey did you post a link to the bronze wool holder? Do you know if its available in the US?
Ewing Sharp hey m8, yeah will be adding that to the description today ;)
+Ewing Sharp that's the links up mate
unger bottle holder dicontinued :( was trying to get hold of 1 myself and ever tryed ecover for solution its great for glide when using razrred rubbers
guiltrix discontinued?? oh that's a shame it's a good bottle holder :(
yeah tried e cover but didn't like the slip quite as good as fairy platinum ;)
Trad - Man yea ordered 1 of window cleaning wear house but never arrived so they refunded me the money cuz unger has discontinued it now maybe find 1 online somewhere would be super handing for spray bottling in people's houses
Thanks for the video man! I just discovered you and I'm in the process of watching all of your videos. When I go to the ebay listing for the Teleskopic AL-22, It says the Listing Has Ended and also that it doesn't ship to the US. Does anyone know where I can find this pole in the US?
N A hello! Thank you for watching! I spoke to the owner of teleskopic and he is coming out with a new range soon. But you can use any wfp for traditional work. You can pick one depending on which clamps you prefer, what you want it to be made from and what your budget is. This pole is on the cheaper end of the scale but carbon fibre is the most expensive but more rigid and lighter :)
Man, I want one! The cheapest WFP's I can find beside that are like, 250-300 bucks, and I'm not even interested in using it as a waterfed pole. Traditional all the way. I just want something that stable and lightweight with those locking mechanisms.
Until I can find one for 120 or less, I'm stuck using my Ettore pole I guess. Do you know what adapters I would need to use the Bronze Wool Pad Holder with the Excelerator and Ettore pole? I also have a Fixi-Clamp I use as a bronze wool holder, (with a seatbelt cushion, and Bronze Wool wrapped around it). If I could somehow get the Fixi-Clamp on the back of the angle adapter, that would save me tons of money. Any ideas?
N A the bronze wool multi is designed to fit into wfp angle adaptors. I tried it on a trad pole once but the teeth didn't line up.
Unfortunately Moerman scraper without cover( Unger is the best scraper?
Unger ninja 6 inch best scraper. Get the holster for it too, very fast to use
Hi peter the unger pouches also do a great job keeping ones behind dry/warm in the winter....this is essential folks!!, on a different note do you use some sort of braces attached to the belt for comfort? As my belt drives me nuts sometimes especially when tight to stoo it slipping down, i use the same belt too.....great minds lol!! But they are good belts, the unger standard belt was not good.
But do like there pouches and belt padding, these are very good.
Brilliant channel buddy and thanks.
Andrew 😊🌈
Yeah bud check out the magma braces on amazon, been great so far
Ahh brilliant Peter i noticed you with them on and thought yes that would be a more comfort around the waist area, neat idea!!
Thanks for the tip and cheers to you both ♥️🌈😊.
Andrew
Can I use a spray can instead of a can of water?
You'll find with spray that washer is not wet enough. A water bottle is for emergency when I'm not near the bucket
You who are a master with the pole - question: With how many sections can you still fan a window?
I tried to use it with 4 sections but find it difficult to master/handle the tool.
Not as smooth movements.
jonathan bengtsson hey buddy! Thank you for the kind comment, it's just lots of practice that's all there is to it.
What kind of pole you using?
For doing high windows you need a good rigid pole with as little flex as possible but.... you also need it to be light that's why wfp's are better for high work ;)
Trad - Man I use Ungers pole. Have the maximum of 5 sections if it's needed.
With 3 section I can use the fliq and fan - but with 4 or 5 I get problems.
But I've started to love the Excelerator/Fliq. Never use a little stepladder anymore.
jonathan bengtsson yeah the Unger pole is good but heavy. :)
I'm trying to order the telescopic water fed pole that you showed in this video but it shows that it's in euros how much is that in US dollars and how will I know I'm paying the correct amount because I looked on eBay which is the only place I could find it and it says it's in euros and I just want to make sure that that's the correct price what I seen for cuz it said $199.99 in euros
BANKFISHING OUTDOORS it shouldn't be 200 euros. Unless that's with delivery overseas maybe
Yeah I just got off the website and it's pretty sad that they will not ship to the US I really want the 22 foot pole order 14 maybe if you have them maybe I can email you my information and we can work out some type of payment so I can send you the money for them
BANKFISHING OUTDOORS try emailing Daniel...

When you cut your own channels, do you cut them in both ends or just one end? I was thinking that i'd buy the largest liquidator channel and cut it down, so i actually get two channels from 1, two birds with one stone.. But there is always a but to a question like that... Will it work :D ? - Btw, thanks for all the information, i'm going straight to the store at monday!
If your using the latest blue liquidator clips which have a bit of plastic inside that clicks into a groove in the channel so if you cut a channel down you'll need to cut a groove into your new size of channel for the blue clips to click into. If you look at the original before you chop it you'll see how it works, don't worry very simple.
Thanks, i'll have a look at it. :-D
I tried the 14 inch with unger rubber. It sucked so badly, it left so many marks in the middle everytime i had to make a turn. SO annoying, especially because it works like a freaking charm when you have polz use them. What rubber should i buy, and btw i live in Denmark, and so far there is no physical-store, that got the red razr in stock.. amma goood!
@@zeeberg89 the best rubber at the moment is ettore master soft rubber. Tight fit and prefect dimensions. No trail lines
The Liquidator channels are a little tricky to cut down, there's various grooves that must be filed in for the ends. If you buy a larger channel and cut it down save the ends for a guide to put the flats in. It's best to cut both ends to make a smaller channel.
👍🏽
I guess next upgrade is from that to Sorbo?
Robert Olsson haha when sorbo come up with a zero detailing squeegee that can change angles and free swivel or lock then maybe ;)
Also allow standard blades in the channels to. Improve the blades too
