Title: Cheap Wagtails £6.99
Post by: C-Thru. on March 21, 2014, 06:04:57 pm

Aldi are selling these cheap version wagtails, doesn't look like they swivel like the originals but for £6.99 its a cheap way of trying before you buy.
Plus the pads on these ones may well fit the originals???

They are nothing like a Wagtail, they don't even swivel...so how can it be a 'cheap way of trying before you buy'.
Just because it has a pad, doesn't make it a Wagtail...DUH!

I've read your post again  ::)roll.

So why even mention the brand Wagtail when they don't swivel.
Wagtail was developed around the 'Swivel Action'.

Even though you mention 'doesn't look like they swivel'......
 your post infers that these are a cheap version of Wagtail, even your thread heading 'Cheap Wagtails £6.99'.

You can't even compare these to a Wagtail, so how can it be a 'cheap way of trying before you buy'.

Like I said, 'Just because it has a pad, doesn't make it a Wagtail'...so why mention the Brand.

There's only one idiot here  ;)....and it isn't me lovely-boy  :-* .

Yes Mike, and I use the Wagtail Applicator and Wagtail Slimline Chanel.

I often use these on a 'Lewi' 4m pole with the Wagtail Compound Angle, and no problem 'fanning' at this height
