i shortened down my pulex boab by a good 4 inches,no need for it to be so deep i found it got in my way

iv got the yellow flippers . 14 and 18 inch .   on the net here i read a good tip to leave my bucket in my car and instead have a small spray bottle on my belt (400ml) .this is a REAL godsend and timesaver . either spray solution onto the wagtail mop or directly onto the glass

Thank you SteveAllan.

We just got the whole range of Wagtail tools on our stock after CC. Tomorrow will try with Ettore leaser and sidekick squeegee holsters as well. Interesting.

Cheers. Vadim

Hi Gaz

Your going with a wagtail then, good choice and it fit's in a bob.

I just took a hacksaw and took it straight across about 3or4 inches down from the top. then i trimmed a new side U groove so the squeegee handle has a slot , using a very sharp penknife .  then i reattached the strap that the belt goes thru . i later opened out the 3little channel slots on the front of b.o.a.b to carry a small rag in there instead.


i dd all this as i saw no point in the boab hanging down my leg  cos  it gets in the way /looks naff  and i  read somewhere you are meant to tie a string round ur leg thru the bottom of the b.o.a.b   and thatd look as naff as  its as possible to get !!!
