how are you getting on with resi-neck?
« on: December 03, 2011, 03:44:56 pm »
im thinking of trying one of these resi necks out and a medium dt radius sill brush.i think ill get a 5 pack of the new scrapers when they are available as well!anything to make the job even easier!! ;) ;D ;D

are the resi necks compatible with the aqua-daptor?

i think slx,aqua-daptor,resi-neck,med dt radius brush and new scraper could be the perfect set up for ease of use and speed.

whats your thoughts guys?


regards

Resi neck is compatible with the AD, and I love it, but I personally think it's better suited to the xtreme brush, but that's my personal preference. The make life so much easier with awkward window, but it us harder to clean the sills.

If you are ordereing a brush anyway, they are only about a tenner so it would be worth a punt even I'd you don't like it.

I like the soft dt radius brush, it is also Alex's favourite as it requires less effort to scrub glass but the soft one is not suitable for use with hot water.

Curious as to the medium dt radius but reluctant to fork out another £40 just to try it.

The medium should wear better, so if you are heavy on your brushes probably the one to go for.

As per Lee's post. Good for awkward windows but the negatives are it's not good at all for sills because it just spins off and the other is you can't turn the brush on to it's edge to scrub/press hard on a stubborn mark or bee poo etc.

well started of ok,fitted it to top of pole done first few windows,then the story of my life it went all floppy   (dont say a word taffy) on me and fell to pieces onto the floor.,

so on closer inspection,i notice that the barrel on the flip fast had no tread in there,so when pressure put on window the screw came all lose and fell to the floor.

so back to van,get the other one i ordered,and took off the barrel nut,checking that this one had a tread in.

fitted all back together and away we went,noticed that it wasnt moving much so i adjusted screw,so not to much floppy and tried again.this worked ok now,but then notice that the angle wasnt right when doing the downstairs window,so then adjusted it up abit,and was happy with that.

test came when i had to do a town house on a very busy road where open the front door and 2 steps you are on the main A4 bristol-bath road,so you cant stand back to far as there is railings stopping you ,so when you do you get more water down your arm,dontTTTT   .
so with the swivel i was able to do the top windows stood below the next window and brush side to side across the window,meaning that i didnt get wet.
which was a bouns on a cold day like today.this saved abit of time on the job as well.

not a great lot of work to get though today as friday and iam a lazy git who stops at 1pm,so not a great test,

i can see some pro's with it and will do a full week with it nx week,and when i get the hang of it probaly let it go a bit more floppy.


only downside was the nut with no tread,no great deal really

Fitted my resi-neck with swivel, tweaked the setting once and have forgotten it's on the end to be honest. If you are used to swivels then it's superb. If not then give it time - they feel a little odd at first.
Gardiners also do a resi-neck with no swivel which is a big improvement over the plastic angle adapter of old especially if you are using the quick release necks.
