Title: Wagtail
Post by: frames to panes on February 28, 2008, 08:51:07 pm

Bought one from the US and it came today. Um not sure about it yet, doesn't seem very well made (plastic). Had a dry run with it and it feels really alien, i'll have a proper play in a couple of days and see.  :-\

Did you buy the Wagtail combo? Mine is made of aluminium. Stick with it, it's a brilliant bit of kit, far less strain on the wrist too. Dai

Hi guys theres another forum with a lot of info on the wagtail, this guy has modded it to be able to do detailing without bring down the pole.

Sorry dont know if mods allow links to other forums here so pm/email me and I`ll send the link.

No, nothing like it. Although I've found the "contour" is a great tool especially for closing out.

That's it, i've got the sqeegee on it's own to try. Pop riveted together with a dimple punched in the channel to hold the rubber all very unimpressive so far, maybe the aluminium version is better. It's the action that interests me, if i get on with it i might get a flipper for inside work.
