the ettore backflip is the same as the ultimate squeegee but a bit more versatile.its nothing new! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


i prefer seperate mop and squeegee.the rubber doesnt look that good on that one and probably not changeable.

That's the most obvious invention ever.
Surely that's been done lots of times before?

Im sure I saw something like that for sale in Tesco's the other week, where they keep the home cleaning stuff.
Can't remember how much it was, less than a tenner I think.

That's not a one pass tool. If you watch the video closely you will see that they soap the glass first and then slightly alter the angle of the squeegee to blade the glass.

What about that electric one for internals you have joe, is that still any good. I nearly got one, you've had one a while what are your thoughts?

The Wagtail had a one pass tool years ago , it was called the combi, I still have two of them and they're worth their weight in gold. The original combi had a bit of a design flaw which I found a fix for, I think it was on account of that that they stopped making it.
When they made the original they had it so that you could swing the blade out of the way if you wanted to give dirty glass a good scrubbing, and this is what caused the problem, what they had not realised was that we never used that facility anyway, we could give the glass an extra scrub if needed, by simply pushing the handle down towards the glass and lifting the blade clear that way.
I did post a picture of it on here once, but I'm not going to sort through 3000 posts to find it.

If it's Wagtail it will be mate, great gear, and I have nothing whatsoever to do with them, except for using my old combi.
