I've been using a Unger 12" squeegee for several months now and was wondering if there is a better one to use or a replacement rubber that's better than the one that comes with it?
-
get the top of the range ettore far better

I have an unger s 14inch handle and channel. I have had it for about 15 yrs and it still works. I have from time to time changed the rubber bit, I used to change it weekly, flipping it over on a wednesday afternoon. I now use wfp so one rubber can last for several months. I have always used cheap pulex rubbers and never had a problem with them or unger. Don't knock unger they make good quality tools that last.

i use the unger ergotech squeegees(14-18in)and ive also got a swivelock.very good professional trad equipment IMO.
I must admit though they dont get used much these days!maybe a few times a day on ground floor windows although ill probably use em more in winter due to water issues in the cold.

I have a 6inch 10 inch, 12 inch and 14 inch and trad poles, they are all unger and I use pulex soft rubber
but on the whole I use a 14 inch ergo tech squeegie for most work

thanks for the input guys :)
I'm not that clued up on trad gear so just wanted to make sure I was using a decent squeegee.
-
unger 18 inch better than the smaller ones i find

Ettore.
Please don't use the U-word. There's supposed to be no bad language.

I wondered when Squeaky would mention his Ettore fetish! ;D
I use Unger. Never had a problem. Broken some Ettore stuff though! ;D
