I know there has been a couple of posts recently about the wagtail flippper, but I want to add this. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and am mighty impressed. No good at all on old sash windows, but the bigger the pane the more it comes into play. I,m not getting too carried away and will still wfp most of my work. However, I cleaned a gym today that I usually clean wfp and used the flipper. I didn't time it exactly, but I was around 25 minutes instead of 35 and that was using a pointer ladder for every window. Sure I could have done it trad using a mop and a squeegee, but I certainly couldn't have done it in 25.
Abi Titmus & a happy new year.

very impressed with the wagtwil flipper. fast and unbelievably light. every trad cleaner should have 1.

The wagtail flipper is fantastic on a pole, and so easy to use too.
If you buy the little grey pole extension to angle the wagtail at the right angle it becomes even better. The pic below is not the flipper but the new slimline version (fits in a bucket on a belt) but it shows the grey extension.

i didnt get on with mine thought it was crap!! 3 or 4 days use went back to normal tools.
Might give it another go next week.

I've got a wagtail squeegie and thought it was very cheap looking and poorly made for the money. I didn't like it at all, mine's chucked in the back of the van somewhere. Might be better on a pole.

I really only use it for pole work - You can use it like you would by hand at height. Give it a try its so much easier than using a traditional squeegee if you know what I mean.

It`s not as good as hot water or as quick eh Kev lol. ;D ;D

Hi guys
my wagtail combi was delivered today from omnipole another great piece of trad kit all in one pass tool applicate and blade at the same time but much harder to use than the wagtail flipper
cant believe that dai is the only one that has been using these for years but everyone has their different preferences for tools
regards

Sounds good

Wait till you use it on the insides, no more mess.
Tip when using the combi, put a little dishwasher rinse aid in your cleaning solution, plenty of slide with no suds, your water goes on much thinner, I use mine with the old Unger bucket on the belt, I can put 2 mugs of water in it and do the whole of the insides of a big pub/restaurant.
If the glass is dirty, or there is bird muck on it you can still give the glass a good scrub, just push the handle down towards the glass, this lifts the blade clear and you can scrub away.
Oh, and don't forget to dog ear the blade for less detailing.
Half a day with the combi to get used to it and you will be flying.
