LOL!

I try to be nice to new start ups who are struggling to buy gear,.. but if I passed a guy using one of these I really would struggle not to laugh out loud at him.

Its not just the look of it though, a wheelie bin shape does not make a good trolley even if it is smaller. It'll be:

*hard to drag any real distance about because of the shape
*near impossible to get up & down steps with those little wheels
*top heavy because the pump box is on top
*not very stable on sloping ground
*prone to spillage when full

AND you'll look like a plonker!

He's only selling the sticker and as a warning sign it will do the job just fine though it would be better if it said window cleaning in progress and not cleaning.  As for the wheely bin thing he is trying to sell, shocking

 :o He's based in Bolton.

Sold two in Bolton according to testamonials on site.

I ain't ever seen anyone with one. Unless Archer sold his gear to pay for his Wembley tickets and needs a cheaper setup.

Might email and ask if I could have a demo :P

PLEASE NOTE. These bins are sold by Puraclean  NOT Purerclean Ltd.

Our bins are much better. they hold rubbish and DONT spill when full   ;D

Saw someone it Plymouth using a setup just like this, not sure if its from ebay but looked just like the bins in the listing!!

I would have stopped to take a pic but was on a main road, will keep an eye out for them again

He's not selling the drum with a sticker on it, its the warning sticker he is selling and I don't think the sticker is bad at all, I happened to come across a water board sign the other day and one of this chaps warning signs would be just the ticket to make a decent sign for just a few quid. The wheelie bin thing was a shocker but there is nothing wrong with the stickers

I see the pole is a Harris pole.
Title: Re: item on e bay
Post by: richard jagger on September 08, 2011, 10:33:46 pm
I have a feeling its some on here that is making this stuff.The Harris pole have been melted into the brush and the pole is covered with shrink rap tubing. BOTH OF THESE TIPS WERE MENTIONED ON HERE BEFORE.
