Snapped in half Mkll version. I tried cleaning without it for a while but just couldn't get used to cleaning without one, good job i had a spare. What i really missed was the ability to twist the pole and rorate the brush head, it really seems to save your wrists.

I remember when I broke my Mk1 swivel, once you get used to working with them its very difficult to do with out them.
I did come home and repair it, got some new ones since then and I also carry a spare with me.

was doing some swivel for the first time today,i found it awkward,how long do you reckon it would take to master-when its done right it is quick

Where is the best place to buy swivel joints?
Someone recently posted an email/website address showing a picture of several swivel joints in a clear packet - real cheap (maybe from Wilkinsons?).
Thought I'd saved the item, but apparently not.
-
look at this site, the swivel m2 is 4 down http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products/productslistSub.asp?Main=Brooms-and-Brushes&sub=Handles

jouk - does it just screw onto the end of the angle adaptor/gooseneck?
-
yes it does mike, there not as good as the mk1 but then they are not available anymore, 1 think though you need to drill and put a small thin bolt through the ball swivel, stops it poping out which is a pain, if you do this problem solved like this

Jouk - Thanks, but does the pin not stop the ball swivelling - surely it will only travel in 180 degree plane instead of 360.

That's what it's supposed to do, side to side, otherwise it wouldn't work ;)

the pin just stops the ball joint comming out of the socket, the swivel moves sideways,

Yeah - Got it!
Thanks

The shipping costs are a big rip off on these things though, i was going to order three from another site. :(

Phone the guy at vastsupplies, he'll post at cost, but make it worth his while & order a few. ;)

Thanks Tony that's the site i was looking at (i think you posted it on here). They are so cheap and light that the postage for half a dozen shouldn't be more than about three quid!
