How much is too much?
« on: November 03, 2019, 11:08:18 pm »
Yep, this one is for the trad lads I suppose, but when is carrying too much trad tools on a belt is too much?
Ok, i only did residential  but I did so for 14 yrs and longer if counting my college days.  But 2 squeegee's, one mop, a spray bottle for leaded windows and two scrims would see me through a day.  Anything else for the odd difficult situation was in the boot of the car and very rarely came up.
This dude which has also been tagged on another forum looks like he carries more than the SAS

All items on my belt are currently available fro my Facebook/eBay page.

He is trying to sell his super belt system so that he no longer works on the glass- maybe another Dragons Den candidate? 😂

for the little bit of trad work i still do(ground floor commercial)i have a small black  ettore pouch with a scrim and sill cloth in and unger scraper on my left side and a BOAB with a mop and a 14in squeegee on my right side....this is all i need.....bucket stays in the van.....

when i was 100% trad id have the same set up but with the addition of a spray bottle and holder on my belt,id also carry a rojack ladderstopper with my ladders! ;D......and sometimes id go back to my vehicle for my trad pole and unger "vice versa" squeegee/mop combined.....id also carry an unger fixi clamp for detailing awkward upper windows.....i dont miss them days! ;D

What a tool!



Just needs one of those blue tooth phone things to hang on his ear to complete the look.

Initially when I saw the link on another forum, I thought exactly that.  Haha I thought H-man had a follower and somebody else had nicked his idea of adapting  a sprayer  ;D ;D
But then i realised it was about adapting his pouch for this tool and that tool. I bet you can hear him banging and clanging as he walks wayyyyyy before he gets to your house

We used have:


Scrim over shoulder, or in pocket.

Wet cloth over other shoulder.

Applicator in one hand, squeegee in the other.

Little Stanley blade in bum bag for poo.

Job done.

I am 100% trad, and this is what I have:

Unger belt, on which I hang my bucket on a belt, scraper holder with Unger ergotec scraper, and I tuck 3 scrims/microfibre cloths over it or carry one over my shoulder. I carry 3 squeegees (one in boab and two in my bucket. Obviously I carry my ladders as well! I have a selection of trad poles and a couple of A frame ladders in the van, as well as spare consumables (cloths, squugee rubbers, scraper blades etc) and a barrel of fresh water. I've loads of other stuff too, for gutter clearing etc.

I also have a rug that I use for wet decking etc.

Funny enough, when I'm walking along, my boab and scraper holster hitting each other make quite a rhythmic sound!

A lad that I see in town doing some shops for a nationwide firm looks like he’s sponsored by Unger, he must have 10 separate tools strapped to his belt, looks a right plonker.
