hi Gaz, personally I think most goosenecks are a waste of money unless you have a lot of work with deep sills - take a look at http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html and you will see goosenecks and plastic angle adapters.  If I need a gooseneck for any jobs I just use one of GazH2O's brushes, I have a few of them that go onto the plastic angle adapter and have an extension on them, does the same job, only better, for a lot less money and a lot less weight.

Hi Gazza...I have recently got a pole with a goose neck and I think for the majority of my work I would be best to go with a angle adapter and not the goose neck....

Think that personal preference is the key... ;D...if you can try to cadge a 'spin' on a fellow window cleaners gear.

Cheers
Dave

I've got two angle adaptors in line.

So ... unger pole (alumininium) then unger angle adaptor, then vikan plastic adaptor, then salmon autobrush.

For most work I use the plastic adaptor to adjust the head angle and for deep cills I adjust the back (aluminium unger one) to give it length.
