It's not just good, it's the best on the market (in my opinion)

The only other that comes close is Ettore Master, but that is normally twice the price.

Use the hard rubber in the summer and the soft in the winter

We've tried many other rubbers, expensive and cheap and have always gone back to Unger

Whilst I have always used Unger squeegees and rate them very highly, I have never really gotten on with their rubber. I had always used Pulex soft which suited my work, but a while back I tried out Ettore rubber and found it even better. I have stuck with Ettore ever since.

Unger`s ok but I think Ettore is the best. It is dearer but the best I`ve used.

i had unger about a year ago but found the edges would fray easy,now using pulex soft as they cheap and better than unger in my view but still annoy me at times with leaving lines even when new rubber and seem to be cut perfectly straight

Sounds like water from the back of the blade. Give it a wipe.

For trad you can't beat Unger  IMO
Unger soft rubber is best.

Cut the corners off the rubber with a new scraper blade. Just take about 2/3mm off at 45 degrees. No more lines & the rubber lasts much longer before chewing up. I do this right away now, even with new rubber.

Pulex hard for me, with wagtail flippers. ;)
