Unger hard always reliable, i find Ettore too soft and they perish very quickly especially when you are half way through a big job and you havent got a spare rubber.

i reckon it all depends on what equipment you want but a slight edge would be towards ettore .

Ettore........Well made nice looking reliable equipment.
Unger........Overpriced, undermanufactured, plasticy rubbish.

Next week....Aston Martin vs Kia! ;D

I prefer Ettore. Ironically on this side of the pond Ettore rubber is far superior to the Unger stuff.

I find pulex to be the best by far  ;D

ettore- progrip & ledgeze handles with s/s channels
            progrip t-bars with porcupine & m/fiber sleeves

unger- boab, ergotec belt system

pulex- rubber
I think they both make good & bad products

However, 90% of my trad work is now done with wagtails ;)

The Ettore Contour Pro+ handle, BOAB, rubber, nylon holster, etc. I've used Unger products but definitely prefer Ettore across the board.

I think that charlie is talking about equipment in general as LJ Thorpe says.

Im up for anything thats any good. I prefer unger though for some reason. They appear to be marketed better...........or is it just the colours of their logo that i like???? ;D ;D

if you want a good rubber get a wagtail rubber

best ive ever used, even if you dont like using the wagtail flipper you can just buy the rubber seperate

I have a wagtail on order, but read that the rubber isn't the best, can't remember where I read it now, suppose everyone has a favourite

i swear by wagtail rubber .   its a bit of a pain to change the rubber on wagtail squeegees  so often i dont change it for weeks on end , it lasts so good
