Hello 👋
Just wondering if you’re wfp, do you still wear a tool belt for cloths, detergent spray bottle, money wallet?
I do in the Warmer weather.
In Autum have jacket on so extra pockets.
I wear crag hopper trousers
Wondering if anyone wears those scruffs trousers with those flapping elephants ears
Looking pockets 😁
Thinking they maybe better holding all mentioned items 🤔
If I’m doing less compact work it gets on my nerves taking 💩on and off
Thanks lee

They look good when my trunk's out.

No real need when wfp as all i have in my pockets is my wallet, keys and phone usually.
Thats said i do wear those shorts/trousers with the "elephant ears" comes in handy occasionally to have some extra pockets, stick some cloths in and my spray bottle when doing first cleans or fsg etc.
leave the belts to the trad guys.
These are the ones i have, im too tight to buy the scruffs :)

I wear Engelbert Strauss shorts during the summer.
The only extra thing I carry is an Unger Ergotec bottle pouch on my belt with a microfibre cloth in the pouch.
It's so handy to have a cloth to hand if you need one. And the pouch is so small you don't notice it.
If i'm doing a first clean, i'll put everything I need in my spare window cleaning bucket and carry it round with me such as:
Spray bottle of no nonsense degreaser.
Pink Stuff
Scrubbing pads
Magic eraser pads.
A magic eraser pad attached to a gardiner quick loq socket for upstairs windows. Brings black windows up like new.
A old brush where the bristles have been trimmed down to about 8mm. Amazing scrubbing power.
Gardiners new scrubbing pad.
Unger rubout.
Cif.

I am 100% WFP but still wear an Ettore double pouch. I keep a card reader, sill cloth, glass scraper and windows cleaned today cards in it.

which craghoppers trousers do you use mate, i need new trousers for work, always bought cheap ones on ebay, there knackered after 6 months
-
i always have a small black ettore pouch hanging off my belt with scrim/microfibre cloth in it and an unger ninja scraper...comes in handy even though im 95% WFP these days.....ill also have a BOAB and squeegee/Tmop on the other side of my belt on the odd occasion for ground floor trad work.....

Never.
If it can't be cleaned with a water-fed pole, it doesn't get cleaned.
You can clean all you need to clean with a pole, including sills. It's far easier than using a cloth.
I see lads wearing pouches sometimes, I always think it looks scruffy.

I have these, classic for spring and autum
And the lined ones for winter I’m happy with
Both 👍
Tried englebert Strauss trousers, few others dickies, some cheap army trousers
With the winter trousers you need to go a size up as lining makes em snug
That’s my excuse 😁
It’s mentioned in reviews 👍
Wear cheap Tesco jeans 👖 £5 a pair which I converted into shorts ✂️ Last a while and cheap 👍

How do you attach your magic eraser to quick loq socket Robbo ?
Thanks lee

Thanks everyone interesting to see what others carry on them belts etc
I’m not the only one then 😁👍

cheers Lee

I wear my cellphone and all my keys on my tool belt because I think it looks cool. And custies are even more impressed when I say "cellphone" and I show them my various keyrings. I sometimes say key fobs just to show off.
It's all part of the service.

Take a quick loq socket off and old brush, cut a piece of magic eraser bigger than the small rectangular flat edge and then use 2 strong elastic bands. It doesn't look pretty, but it does the job brilliant.

Thanks Robbo 👍
