i bought it with a trolley system, and i absoulty hated it! and really did my back in, could hardly walk some nights. even relaxing was hard some nights. so i made this abortion

worked ok to be fair but not the best, especially all that hose. what was i thinking!! then ran the trolley onto the hose reel, this was ok...ish

then it statyed like this for some time

went to a 2 man setup with one on the reel and the other running backpack, this worked just fine

finally ended up with it like this, but did have 2 reels in, theres only 1 now as its setup in new van

thats 2 years worth of my work, and it just shows how you change things to suit. ive also found out not to scrimp on buyin things, getting the cheapest isnt always the best. i havent got anythin left of the trolley system and now. and now i have an all new setup and am extremly pleased with and is a joy to work out of!!
sorry if ive bored you but im bored so i thought id share this with you
the end

Your latest setup looks very pro. You have gone from trolley, backpack to van setup. Is van setup quicker. Im getting stuck in with my trolley and backpack now and can see the benefits of wfp. Only problem i have is wooden and aluminium windows as the results arent too good. So at moment i am swapping between wfp and ladder. Ive read a few guys on here have totally dropped windows and houses that dont suit wfp. Not sure which way to take my business whether to carry on using my different tools wfp and ladder or just drop the ones wfp doesnt suit. What would you advise mate ::)

you have the same halfords spanner and rachet set as me LWC. best hundred quid i ever spent that was!! ;)

progress is always good, really like the look of the new van must say job well done there.

wont tell you how much i paid, i used to work there :P
why buy snap on (at 2 - 3x more) when halfords are very good tools and still come with the life time guarantee!
