What's the oldest piece of equipment you have and use???
Mine is a stiff white bristled gardiner brush that TLWC (aka Tony) gave me back in 2013 ish. Old school fan jets, my go to brush for fascias, gutters and conservatory roofs.

60ft original Tucker pole with twin hose and mixing valve, good for weight training but a killer on the arms and neck for window cleaning.

My van? My Brain? 🤣

Still got my yellow base section of my first Carbon 65ft Ionics pole when I started Reach and Wash
18 years ago.
It was ridiculously heavy with long sections
You had to have a day off after you had used it.
It was all that was available at the time.
Thank goodness for Gardiner Pole. ;D

I have my original PF trolley from 2007 which is still used regularly. The internals have been replaced with lighter parts, but the chassis is still original with one minor mod to the lower steel strap which has since been incorporated by PF on their newer models. Gave it a coat of red Hammerite last spring. Came up real smart

An old brass Ettore squeegee the one that has the little brass clips at the ends to hold the rubber blade.
I have used it since 1983 but it was given to me and it was already eons old at the time!

Probably my business cards that have the wrong address and phone number on and still list carpet cleaning as a service.

I had a 30ft tucker pole 15 years ago. It was superseded by a clx27. Not used either pole for 10 years or so, but still have them. Definitetly would not want to use a 60ft Tucker.

Pole hose I got from exceed 6 years ago, still going strong.
Doesn't kink and can use it with heated water.
I just wish they still sold it.

Oldest piece of equipment is me. 56 years old, not sure about the still going strong part though.
