Post by: H MAN on July 31, 2019, 09:36:41 am
This will strengthen your pole angle adapter to give you a more positive feel when using your pole.

It's not the weight of what you have on the pole .
But the force you put on it especially having scrubber or doodlebug on the pole.
Where some people put a fair bit of force on it.
So in that case it would be necessary to have heavier duty angle adapter.
Most angle adapters are particularly weak when it comes to using it with force side ways.

Well I suppose you will need to strengthen it after all that heating up and making it brittle - best to buy a quality Gardiner one  ;D ;D ;D

There's another guy on here who always trying to reinvent the wheel, make videos and no matter how many say he's wrong never listens, if only I could remember his name. (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1564662481_grin.gif)

No Herman it’s not bike seat clamp it’s a wfp angle adapter that is supposed  to be super strong , in 18 years approx of wfp I have yet to break an ordinary one , so don’t think it s nessasary to have a stronger one

Haven't broken a gardiners one in all my days using them, and I push closed quite a few sash windows which have been left open.

Think in the time they called them Flip Fast and yes they are bicycle seat quick release clamp posts can get them on Ebay for couple $.
And could of put any other clamping system on it also.
Your right it fine for using just to scrub glass. 
But when it comes to heavy handed using scrubbing walls and any other surfaces l
 Put this mod on.
Anyway you have not seen the small aluminium plate fitted on side, that stops the side movement of the angle adapter when clamped closed .
This is what we have done.
Or could be that the angle adapter we have is the cheaper ones 2 $ or one pound.
