So here are some other swivel for brushes from other manufactures.
If you check them they all have the same mechanical problem.
Can you see what it is??

Their all the same colour? I would say the colour but I think it's not politically correct to say anymore.

Don't think that would effect the mechanical operation ???
-
Is it the size of the screw holes or the number 2 on the last one?
-
I don't know but I'm sure there is going to be a game changing answer.
Hold onto your seat belts chaps.

I think you’ve got the problem Herman.
My Gardiners swivel works very well and at a price I’m happy with.
You’ll probably say the pivot point is too far away too.
They will all wear eventually due to friction but can’t say I’ve found it to be much of a problem.
I would hazard a guess you don’t use or own any of them either?
So, they all share the same problem which is you didn’t invent any of them.

HA HA HA No didn't .
And yes you right I don't use any or own them.
They all have at least 2 mechanical problem.

Nothing game changing about it just common sense.

At least this is keeping him out or Mrs Herman's hair. :D
-
I just figured it out. There are no screws to hold the swivel to the brush stock
-
don't be silly - the answer is clear - they are all professionally manufactured and work
unlike Hermans which will be a couple of melted bits of plastic and a six inch nail hammered through it

One of them is designed to be used on a fixed gooseneck simply because it's angled, the rest of them are fine.
I started off using swivels which I made up myself in 2003 by stripping a Salmon tile grouting brush of it's few very stiff bristles and cutting it down to the size of the swivels out today and laid it over the top of an original Tucker brush which worked very well as no one sold swivels back in them days. I did it to overcome an illness I had enabling me to work easier.

Sir, sir, me me me I know!
They don’t fit in a squeegee handle.
-
I know what’s coming I think !
I am thinking along the lines of a loan that the banks are offering ;D

Were you called Gaz in a former life WW ?

If he was I want my money back! That green Salmon brush was terrible! 😀

Personally, i've never been into swivels. But seeing all those pics, I feel strangely aroused! ;D

I'm first. He cashed my cheque for 2 which, despite numerous requests and delivery promises were never sent. That was July 2007.

I can't remember who I use to share some of my ideas with back then. I know Gaz use to use similar Salmon brushes. I use to go by the name of easy clean when I started on here

Sorry. His business name was Advance window cleaning. and his name was Gary Hollins.

I do remember easy clean , I have never been able to keep up with name changers ;D

Each one is missing the price tag?🥴

He was H h20 back in 2007. He is now a guest and you can't do a search on his posts.(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1592067931_gaz's brush 2.jpg)

I still have a functioning, albeit, decommissioned MKII Gaz swivel!!
The MKI Gaz swivel is still unbeaten- in certain aspects, it's just a shame the Salmon brush was such a let down!

Ladies and gentlemen, CLEVIS has left the building.

So what’s the problem?
They work (well Gardiners does) and cheaply. They do wear eventually but no problem. The resistance is also adjustable.
No problem!
You could copy the wagtail, that seems a reasonable swivel but has a lot of surface area to rub.
You could stick a bearing in there, no point.
It’s just a brush on a stick.
-
It does what it’s supposed to do, what more do you want?
The concept of telescopic poles rubbing themselves to destruction at £1000 a time seems worse to me.
So, to answer your original question, no I don’t see a problem.
The problem can only be that they don’t look like yours and you believe your design is far superior I guess.

Said nothing about the design but the question was about the mechanical problems they all have.
And already pointed it out.
Get on with cleaning windows instead of finding faults in other suppliers products that you don’t even use. What’s the point in this? Have you not got a life ?? Nothing better to do with your time? Not got Netflix??

You ask us to find a problem with what’s currently available and IMO works well enough.
I don’t see a problem. Maybe it only exists in your head?
You’ve posted a picture with no explanation of why it solves the imaginary problem.
Why you persist In trying to reinvent the wheel and post in riddles is beyond me.
I’m out
