Hi Guys,
I only use the hand tools for doing internal commercial work and I find that we spend a lot of time wringing them out before use so not to get water everywhere.
I have been searching the net for replacement low absorption ones but all the premium ones seem to be geared towards holding more water.
Am I searching for something that doesn't exist??

just use a spray light misting i never take a bucket or washer inside now as
i tipt a bucket over the entrance at a supermarket manager was on my case before
not pleased after moping up after meself first face i saw yep never again
-
Not a bad idea for a couple of the smaller jobs, but I've got a 5 storey office building to do inside & out on monday and I'd be there for about 3 days with a spray bottle ;D
-
Don't know if it's just me but I carry a drinking bottle with solution in it and give the applicator a squirt when required. You could use a Wagtail Flipper 'cos that holds little water too.
-
FTP,
Do you know if the wagtail applicator would fit on a standard 14" T-Bar??
-
A m8 of mine uses a water pack for runners, a back pack that holds water and has a tap on end, save spilling water, but I would defo use a boab as keep adding water to sleeve will waste loads of time on a large job.

ettore dure sleeves are the best for it.there like foam looking :)
-
Boab is too wet for internal work I find. I use one just to carry the applicator and catch the drips. I keep no solution in it.

The full green unger micro 1`s are by far the best IMO,look on lots of websites there giving away monsoon 1`s why because there rubbish.1 dip with the micro washer and you can do loads and loads of windows without having to re dip.

Al,
I do a fair bit of internal work.
It's easy.
Dip your applicator into the bucket and run your squeegy down the applicator (while holding it above the bucket to catch the drips) to remove the excess water.
Then when squeegying windows, after you've washed, hold your applicator under your squeegy and squeegy as normal. The drips will run down onto your applicator.
The last couple of inches of window won't make much difference; just squeegie and scrim any drips.

Ettore porcupine will meet your requirements, doesn't hold much water but scrubs realy well. very light too. ;)

You never use a boab to put solution in it anyway. That's how you avoid the "wet leg".
What do you mean with wringing out? What you do is just put your sleeve between thumb and index finger, do that once or twice, and most water is off, no drips, and allows you to do a couple of windows.
And use your applicator below it to catch the drips yes.
