I changed to swivel a few weeks ago and tbh I don't know how I ever did without it. IMO you cant clean a window over a conservatory from the side properly without it.
-
I've championed swivels for years, in fact, I pestered Alex Gardiner to finally have a "proper"one manufactured (we used to have to use modified broom swivels before). I couldn't work without one for sure, IMO they are as important as the pole itself!! You don't have to move your body half as much either when using one. ;)

I use both as I like the carbon necks and the swivels

'IMO they are as important as the pole itself!''
I agree

I use a modified tecbuk extension with swivel on half of a Gardiners resi neck because I like using the long tecbuk extension as opposed to Gardiners shorter (long arm) extension resi neck. I did speak to Gardiners to suggest a longer arm and hope they do one in the near future.

Carbon necks with swivels ? which ones are they ? are they from gardiner?
-
I've been using a fixed brush can you use a aqua adaptor with a swivel ?
-
I've always swivelled.
-
Wot,people dont swivel?just spend the money
-
i much prefer the swivel type but have the aqua tap on mine so it becomes a bit awkward to say the least when you have two items swivelling around on the end of the pole but you can do it :)
-
never realised I needed one in 10 years of wfp
perhaps I am missing out
-
i couldnt get on with the swivel.had one on my pole for around 2 weeks a while ago.much prefer a fixed brush! :)
-
A close ran poll, we heard from a few swivellers but would of been good to hear from a few more fixers, personally like I said, you find it almost impossible to get in the corners when working over a conservatory from the side.

never tried :-[

perhaps you should try and swivel

I have a swivel on the van but couldn't get on with it.
I think it is brilliant for getting into the corners of those windows that can only be got to from the side, ie., windows above a conservatory, but I found the problem is how to scrub the window sill on the same window only needing to use half the width of the brush.
-
i'd never heard of them untill Dave wood shown me his, i quickly ordered one to try and tightened the screw up a touch so it was slightly stiffer but its all i use now, makes conservatories and those windows where you have to reach them from an angle at the side of a car or wall etc much better as the brush sits flat on the glass.
-
Personally I didn't like the swivel, have found just altering the gooseneck angle to be enough to get the brush sitting square to the glass
