Just for fun Guy's,
Are you Straight or do you swivel, ;D ;D that is do you use the straight type brush, or do you use Gaz's swivel brush. there is a lot being sold lately.
I use to be straight but since I bought Gaz's swivel brush, I am finding it more and more difficult to even think of putting my vikan back on.
What do you guys do????? funny comments welcome ;D ;D

Jeff, i use to be straight ;D and have converted many men to swiveling(including yourself),but i think there are many that are still in the straight closet and will end up becoming a swiveler ;)

;D ;D You have a lot to answer for Gaz ;D ;D
Come on guy's turn to swiveling 8)

Funnily enough, I swing both ways ;D
I have a 16" Vikan brush on an Omnipole gooseneck. I have the nut tightened up enough to hold the brush in position but just loose enough so I can swivel it if I apply a bit of pressure. So it's probably better not to have your nuts too tight.

So you are a bi-swiveler, ;D

After some teething troubles with the brush, I came out swivelling today for the first time.
My findings so far:
Well only my first day, so I'll have to give it time.
Very light brush, in fact so light I found myself pushing hard on the pole to scrub! This caused the brush to often swivel uncontrollably on the end of my 18' pole. I got the hang of it a bit more as time went on. I like the narrow jets Gaz has fitted, less water, more power. I prefer pencil to fan anyway.
i'll have to wait and see if I get any complaints next time around.
So far, (after one day) I think the swivel idea is very good, I need to develop the technique, so I'll give it time. Shame Ionics don't do it, because I find their brushes best, (not a shame for Gaz though ;)).
Not knocking Gaz, though, decent guy to deal with and speak to.
Just speaking as I find.

Thanks Pat,
yes you will get the hang of it and find you will be doing tricks you never new you had in you ;D,
the lightweight swivel brush was my first swivel idea then i started to use the swivel adapter the other swivel that you have with the green brush,have you tried that one yet?
Gaz

No.
This week I are mainly bein' a lightweight swivellerrr! ;D

It won't take long Pj before your doing swirls, and dancing while your poleing ;D
-
I have only been doing wfp for three months but for the last three weeks I changed to the swivel brush I find it more accurate and as for the positions you can get in while swiveling is no ones business ;D

I predict that the swivel will soon be made obsolete by the rubber bellows.
I bought a floor mop from Aldis the other week with the bellows fitted. It swivels in any direction and then srings back to centre when you lift the brush off.
If a rubber moulding company make them to fit a standard brush, It's by by swivel.
It looks a bit like the rubber you get on the bottom of some car gear sticks.
IT WILL COME, BELIEVE ME. Dai
