Like to know if any people would get these if they were sold like this.
Also can take Ettore quick release connection as well.
And if you want the male square lock with euro adapter can be screwed onto euro thread angle adapters. can include this as well.

er - no
why would I want 4 connectors in line like that esp when the squeegee handle can go straight onto the opti.
and I don't see how a round taper fitting shoved into a parallel square fitting is very stable

Nothing is shoved in it and is more stable then if you put it in a circular connection.
Plus if you want to use one of your longer WFPs for a squeegee or scrubber just use the Quick lock connection.
And added plus is give you a easy grip handle as well
On some feed back on the prototypes that people have used this on there squeegee/scrubber handles looks promising.

There is already plenty of options available in the uk market to mix n match as it were.
Im sorry Hman, these may not be easy accessible in Australia, but we are fortunate in the UK to have great suppliers

This is too narrow to fit the trad Unger & Ettore connect right into it,
-
But why would you want to fit the unger cone attachment to a wfp pole any way?
The unger cone is for the unger trad pole, so if using that pole and squeegee and/or mop it would fit ok. I know this, as that was my pole of choice when trad cleaning.
However, if ones are adapting wfp poles to trad, you can still get suitable attachments, ie the moerman range for instance. Or as Darrens mentioned

So this is going to be on a squeegee/scrubber or any trad handles .
The quick lock to euro thread into the the handles.
So this was made so you can use Unger, Ettore cone in the handles.
But you can also use a quick-lock in it as well.
So if you have quick-lock attachments on all your poles you can use it on trad tools.
But if you have a few unger cones on your trad poles you can still insert into the same handle

If you’ve got water fed poles then you aint going to stick a squeegie on the end for outside work are you? Likewise if you are a trad cleaner you won’t be buying a waterfed pole to stuff up your squeegie for hundreds of pounds when a cheap trad pole does the job.

Crikey Herman what planet are you on?
Hmmmm, lots of trad guys are now converting wfp pole to trad poles. Yet you can get all the adapters you need to do so and hence no need for bodge up jobs.

Next time you think of inventing something please take a long hard look in the mirror.
Then take your hand and slap yourself repeatedly across the face whilst chanting
"stop it, give it up, gardiners has it covered" :'(
Repeat this until it sinks in that everything you post is complete poope

I disagree Gomo. All his ideas "so far" have been poop but often that's the way it is and one day he might just come up trumps. Personally, I like a trier.

But trying in the wrong direction is something else though. Sadly all his designs are readily available in the english and american market. Then you have Richard! Yes you could spend several grand on a diesel heater but Rich has adapted and created a diesel heater at a fraction of the cost and would truly benefit the industry.
Think H, needs to think outside the box and be creative that way instead, however for his personal work, Im sure his adaptations come in very useful
-
Wagtail willy also churns out a colossal load of crap but .....
a) his stuff is in production
b) it’s poorly made
c) it actually works
But .......
d) it’s way overpriced for what it is. Probably because after production costs, shipping back and forth, selling through an agent plus profit bangs the item way above what it should be.
Most of Gardiners bit’s and bobs although not cheap are affordable I find.

So can see that some people don't quite understand what we done here.
This connection allows you to use any pole you have with a quick-lock or Unger, Ettore.
Example; need to remove cobwebs at height with this connection you can put it on you longer WFP and you can also use it on your trad pole.
These brush adapters can be fitted into any handle including Moeman handle have made many videos showing this.
No faffing around all universal.
Although if you like to just have a quick-lock by it self. on all your tools.
These brush adapters can be fitted into any handle including Moeman handle have made many videos showing this.
If you just want to use a Quick-LoQ on you poles .
Anyway everyone telling me that it will not work.
So have you at least tried doing this???
Side note having these on the handles allows you to hold/grip/use your scrubber/squeegee .
But seems no one has tried doing this only 2 minutes to do.
If you have tried this and used it on your squeegee / scrubber handles.
Let me know your thoughts.

Were not saying they wont work!
We or I am saying that we dont need to!!
For a couple of quid we can buy if required the part we need and easily switch over.
I cant speak for all, but when I was trad cleaning, i stuck to one supplier for all my needs. So i used unger handles, mops, poles etc etc and so therefore didnt have the need to worry if i used another squeegee would it fit my pole? It wasnt an issue.
Im saying your trying to push something that isnt required in the UK and I dont think your taking that on board! Its absolutely nothing personal, its just not an issue here!
Im sure over in aus it may be! Promote it there, set up shop if there is a market for you their and then rub our faces in it 🤷♂️

May I ask if you have tried putting the (Quick-LoQ euro thread adapter into your squeegee/scrubber handles.)
And tried using them in the hand for a few weeks or so???
Also we use these Quick-Lock with female euro thread so if you have an angle adapter with euro thread on tip.
However see that you don't have these there in UK??

Because there isnt a market for it here ::)roll

You would buy a whole setup Quick-Lock.
Then just get a 5 pound part that does the same thing.??
OH so have you tried putting the (Quick-LoQ euro thread adapter into your squeegee/scrubber handles.)
And tried using them in the hand for a few weeks or so???

Shouting at me still ain’t gonna make me buy this, ever
-
Do you make them in different colours?
-
I think they come in following colours; Vanilla, Salt & Vinegar, Smokey Bacon.
-
Most of us have no idea what you are on about, euro thread, quick loc, squeegee handles.
And no we won't have used these in hand for a few weeks, at least not since 1983.
We pick up a wfp and clean windows.
The vast majority of us don't fanny about trad tools.
That's why no one has any interest in this rubbish, go try the yanks they still risk death on 50ft of ladders everyday rather than pick up a wfp.

Have to laugh ever time hear comments like this.
It could of been Perry Tait selling the quick lock connections.
Because had shown it to him before putting that video on YouTube that inspired Alex Gardiner to make these.
Wonder if Perry was selling them now would you of bought them from him if you could not get them anywhere else??
Just saying.

Stop living in the past, you screwed up rather than making a business choice and protecting that one idea. Give it a rest 😥😥
The fact of the matter is, we can easily get the parts required here in the UK.
You keep arguing a poor point, play a different record. As said before, Rich has seen a gap in the market that can trully benefit wfp cleaners. Currently your doing a bodge DIY job for the tools you use and for yourself thats great. For instance, ive done a DIY electric reel that works great. Ive made my own DIY trolley with remote on/off ability. Also my own hose guide and remote for the reel now as well. Other DIYers might copy and some might not. I aint gonna harp on about it and keep pushing it.
So you like to tinker as well, keep doing so for your own gain 👍 just dont argue the point to others when what you offer can be purchased with pocket change here in the UK and thats what we do.
Rather design something where there is a gap in the market

So have already filled that gap in the market that no one seems to be able to work out yet.
Everyone will see when it comes out. ;)

Few people have said they can just buy these any where in UK.
This is true, (However our connection have been modified to connect standard cones as well as Unger & Ettore quick connect cones. while still being able to use your Quick-LoQ as well)

It's because we've had a really mild winter. Wait until it's -10 again and everybody'd gear is frozen solid you will sell plenty. You need a a simple web page so all the info is together and peeps can contact you easily.

Loads of window cleaners who love spending money on systems and the latest poles and gadgets etc.
