Looks like a step too far to me?

Really, how much time will that save me on my 1 angle change per month?

I'm out.

For something so simple, it really does make a significant difference IMO.

I use an slx lever in place of the flipfast & it's SOOOOO much quicker & easier than having to unscrew/screw the standard way!!

Good buy Daz. ;)

some days i change the angle of my brush 4-5 times a day esp over deep kitchen extensions and conservatories.looks a handy tool.

i reckon i could do with a long angle adaptor as well for cleaning conny roofs.think ill get one next time i order.

What? Because you couldn't with the standard angle adapter?

Sorry guys, really struggling to get excited about this one.

Maybe if it had "Super Lite" written on it, I might  8)

Because I can change angle in about 1 second with 1 finger, that's why. :D

I use the flip fast - wouldn't be without it now.
Macmac how easy was it to fit the slx lever - did you change the bolt?

Hi, just in case you don't already know, we've taken on production of the FlipFast.

http://www.aqua-dapter.co.uk/flipfast/

In answer to dazmond's question, it only adds 13g (just under half an ounce).

Although our main focus is on the Aqua-dapter, we're always interested in products that make the job quicker, easier, and so more profitable, and the FlipFast fits that description.

We are continuing with the same choices as on the original flipfast website, and hope to extend and/or improve the range in the future.

I got one from halfords for £5 and i could not be with out it now because i change the angle of the brush 3 to 4 times a house and this is because if you work on the side of the brush it wares out the bristles alot quicker. the way i am using it i have had the same brush for the last 3 years and still going strong.

Hi,

Yes, Dave Hinton started making them in volume, and we are now continuing as he has other things he wants to concentrate on.

I think it was Jeff Brimble & "Matt" who were the first to think of something similar a few years back.  It was February this year that Dave started flipfast.co.uk and then began supplying various distributors.

You can of course DIY something similar if you want.  There are a couple of slight mods to the latest ones, but you can get essentially the same effect yourself.  We are hoping to make further improvements in time.
