Title: New wagtail?
Post by: Dave Willis on May 12, 2015, 09:24:32 pm

I think there was one at the show with a very narrow pad and dogeared tips. Did anyone play with it and what was it called?

I didn't go to the show but I've just ordered this which is new, I think.

If it's not dog eared, which it doesn't look like it is, I do it myself.

I heard it works faster and better with a bottle of vision in your pocket.

I saw and tried the new one at the show. It looks like a wagtail without the applicator sleeve but in fack it has a sleeve on the back off it, The idea is that you do the complete clean in one montion, thats it. I tried it but the handle was to loose for me which can be adjusted and will take a while to get used to. I asked for a price but its not out yet and it was a rush to get it to the show so it may be tweeked a bit and therefor no price at moment although should be around price of normal one.
I did buy the unger dogeared channels which arent out till July and they are very good.

Ok, Now I'm interested in the one you mentioned - the Wagtail Precision Glide.

Any details, pictures, website, when it's available, where to buy etc?

Thanks.

As 'Shina' mentioned,  not available yet but I would imagine priced similar to other Wagtail Squeegee's.

Here's a vid of the man himself Willie Erken (Wagtail) showing the Precision Glide.....
