From what have rear on various forums it was H MAN that came up with the quick loc idea and it was copied from him 
Thank you .. Lee GLS for clearing that up.
This is the video dated 7th July 2012 that the idea came from.

Hi H Man
The comments above make it sounds as if there were something underhand about this - as you know this was not the case - rather it was produced as a result of your sharing your ideas with myself both publicly and privately along with a lot of further development work by myself to get them into a production ready version.
For general clarification on this (and as posted on a different forum recently)
We first discussed the idea back and forth on the same forum on another thread in May 2012 -
http://windowcleaningresource.com/vBulletin/poles-brushes-wfp-waterfed-pole/20046-quick-connect-brush-3.html - H-Man was trying to convince me that it was a worthwhile system as I was still concerned about the slight extra weight. (In October 2014 - on this thread Herman edited an update video showing the Quick-LoQ system as an outcome of our discussions and also after having pre-production samples sent over from myself to him in advance of its release.)
In July 2012 - I then later privately contacted H Man following this post he made on a US public forum asking for a manufacturer to take his idea further -
http://windowcleaningresource.com/vBulletin/poles-brushes-wfp-waterfed-pole/20302-attention-manufactures-companies.html - It had taken me from May to July to think about it some more and be prepared to give it a go - it was quite an expensive project and I needed some time to think about it.
We then also had discussed the project partially on the US forum in Feb 2013 - on this thread -
http://windowcleaningresource.com/vBulletin/poles-brushes-wfp-waterfed-pole/24717-quick-loq-gardiner-pole-systems.htmlThe rest of our communication about this product was either by the forum's private messaging or by private emails - subsequently all communication between us was via email as I was banned from the US forum as I would not let the site owners sell our products in the US anymore!
Here is another video H Man posted discussing our Quick-LoQ products
http://youtu.be/giH5VGFTziY as it shows Herman seems quite happy with the product and its development having gone forward - nothing underhand about the use of this idea.
Here are some other videos that Herman has posted about these products over the last few years:

As of yet we have still to make any money from these products due to the high cost of tooling/development - however I still think it is a good idea and worth the initial investment for the benefits it brings.
