I purchased my unger pro squeegees when I started, they are 22yrs old now and the handles cost £2.25 each then. Durring that time Iv'e had to buy 4 new rubber grips for them.
Has anyone had there's longer, and do you think Iv'e had my monnies worth? ;D
I think at this rate they are going to out last me ;D

Hi Roy,
Yep you've deffiently had your moneys worth.
I can honestly say 22 years with 1 pro grip squeege is a record as far as we know, either that or your not working it hard enough ;).

Just to make sure that you DO get your moneys worth, maybe you could rent them out to a museum for public display ;D .
Are you still using the same squeegee rubber after 22 years as well ?
Joking aside, I think one of my squeegee handles has been with me from the start as well (15 years). They're not the sort of things that wear out are they? I guess I would be more likely to lose it.

I have a plain brass Ettore handle that I must have had for about that long. We have been in this house for 19 years and I bought it from a supplier near where we used to live so it has to have been twenty years ago but it wasn't twenty two.
Blimey! you were high tech in those days buying an Unger Pro. Only flash sods had them twenty odd years ago. I used to look at them with envy.
My old brass handle is now fitted on a little cut down 4 in squeegee which I call "the titchy" and gets used for doing the glass in front doors and the like.
