What sort of bits do they leave on the glass?
-
Done the supermarket cheepo brushes and found the bristles come out far to easily, they get caught in every crack/crevice and if as more than not it happens on high windows without actually getting up there and pulling them out they begin to look a right mess
-
The best brush ive seen is a tucker, i think they could make some serious money if they adapted them to fit on any pole
Ive used vikan, salmon, ionics, gaz h2o :-\
Facelift are in the process of making a new brush dont know when it will be out but when i spoke to him at the show he told me it was going to be the best brush going

I run Tucker & they are a very good brush.
I have a mini pole with a Vikan brush on i got for abusing on roofs & garage doors & thats all about it's good for. After using my Tucker brush i would never use a Vikan, no comparison.

I like the tucker type brushes as well.
We do have a prototype brush made which we are having assessed for the manufacturing process at the moment. We feel that this brush will meet the needs of most window cleaners, even Jeff Brimble will like it (I think!). :)

Whats the gooseneck perform like on domestic work?

Which gooseneck?

Will it even appeal to cheapskates like me?
Actually, I am just posting to move the topic back up the list but I'm still a cheapskate.
I use a bog brush tied to a broom handle.

Macc ,
Do you use this pole with a gooseneck and on domestic work?
If so whats it perform like
-
Yep, if tucker made one to fit standard threads etc, they would be the only brush used by window cleaners. The're quite light too.
-
We have one in pre-production at the moment, which will be as good to use as a tucker but will be lighter and have a standard screw socket on the back. We think that this could easily replace 80% of our other brush sales.

How long for it please.

I should know by next week. How is your one going?

I've tryed a few other poles & brushes but i do like the Tucker. It's not cheap but my poles & brushes are 18 months old now but you would never know.
Like i said not cheap but perform & last so in the long run i would say cheap but you pay up front.
