H-Man there was me thinking  willie was your bestest buddy  ;D ;D
WHAT!! ???  :o  DON'T  THINK SO ::)roll.
Have designed a totally different unique movement  that may be out about this time next year.
Able to hold just about any squeegee channel on the market.
Keeps same pressure on the channel which ever way you swivel it.
No need to dogear or have clips on the channels.

Just use what ever squeegee channel with any type of rubber. ;D

Good for you...About time you started lining yer own pockets instead of others with your ideas ;)

Thanks for the heads up Smurf.  ;D
Yes also have this swivel movement applied to WFP brushes.   :)
Both will have Quick Lock connections that fits ether the Quick-LoQ or the Wiel- Lock. ;) ;D

Quick question: Has anyone used this brush through a British winter? Perry being a Aussie probably hasn't considered our climate is different to Australia. And window vents with a overflow brush can cause problems too.

Perry is from New Zealand, he lived in Australia for a few years and now lives in Nimbo, China. His products sell very well in the US market and Canada as well as the rest of the world with hot climates to harsh cold ones. The UK can be a messy, complaining bunch and distributors from other countries get a hard time sometimes....  there is a Reach-iT resistance in the UK that like the products...infact there is more love for Reach-iT in the UK than the 'small poppy syndrome' brigade would lead you to believe.
Perry is not active in marketing the UK......

In all your videos with yourself/staff you are always using Gardiners products. Usually clx poles. :)

Like the rest of us Gardiners just seem to offer the best quality for the price.

Perrys gear (from what I've seen and heard) is expensive and not as hard wearing. Even in waggas videos he tries to be positive but you can see his reach it pole has to be clamped a few inches down from the preferred position because the carbon is too worn to grip. 

The U.K. Window cleaners put equipment through the hardest conditions I'd say. Getting used day in day out, cleaning many homes per day, extending pole/descending.

It all comes down to "have you tried it in your business" if not, then your guessing. I have a reach it pro (original) and reach-it mini ( original clamps on both ) BOOM..... just saying lol

It really is worth trying first. There's not a lot of weight in it at all between the brushes I use.

That's interesting with regard to weights. Thank you.

It doesn't, it comes down to am I experienced and savvy enough to know by sight what is a positive step forward or not- most UK experienced wfp'ers are not easily misled nor are they prepared to throw their money down the drain. Like I said, if this constructor brush was a significant enough step forward then the forums would be plastered with positive reviews and we would all be buying one- neither are actually happening and that coupled with what I have seen and read online tells me more than I need to know. ;)

Now that was surprising to see Lee.
I take it the constructor brush actually had bristle in it as none were showing in the pic which I was expecting to see?

No Smurf. The bristles are in the plastic bag under the brush. It hasn't been assembled yet; unless Lee is using it without the bristles fitted.  ;D

Well lets see it assemble and then do a weight comparision with both wet to see a true weight difference.
After all we don't use waterless or bristleless brushes now do we just quite yet.  ;D ;D

Correct the inner bristles and side bristles are in packs on the weighing machine... be weird not to

Also, great news guys..... for those really interested that is. I have organised an interview for Window Cleaning Magazine. The interview is with Reach-iTs first UK customer, who still uses Reach-iT over 4 years later. Im genuinely interested to see how Reach-iT products have faired over the years and how much or how agonising the weight of the gear to the buck investment -  it's either breaking window cleaners bank accounts and/or backs, Im taking my cameras to find out in London. This window cleaner, last time I meet him, was using the original Reach-iT Pro on the back of Grosveners Square.... central London and up 5 storeys... this is the heart of London, the same Square as The American Embassy, The London Marriott Hotel and Gordan Ramsey's Grill restaurant ( which I have eaten in and highly recommend :))   
Sooooo, I am happy to take on serious fact finding questions from any of you guys and put that forward..... let me know :)

Both brushes are dry and have the same weight assembled or disassembled .... not sure what you want from wet ones? Similar weight maybe?

All i asked was has anyone used the constructor brush through a British winter. Fair question. Lee did you pay for your constructor brush?(Be Honest). You seem very over invested to defend perry's corner. One more question. Is it free to be in your magazine?

i have a constructor brush, no not used it in the winter so  sorry can't answer your question but i cant see why it would not operate as good as any other brush on the market, time will tell.
It is a bit weighty and i do tend to revert back to other brushes now and then, especially if the pole will be fully extended over a conny or extension for instance but i always go back to the constructor brush because i really believe it's the  best brush for cleaning amongst the brushes i have, so i probably clean 90% of my daily work with the constructor.
I have changed the bristle layout to suit myself, which is one of the benefits of this brush you can buy different bristle packs and "construct" your own brush.
The biggest drawback for me is the "cannons" on the top they tended to get knocked and lost in the early days, i have modified it slightly and this problem as gone.........i do believe he is in the process of replacing the cannons with a solid bar and this can be retrofitted............The cost was about £130 incl postage, i had a mad moment and bought it :)

1) I was correcting some incorrect facts in your post.
2) Nope, re paying for Constructor brush but I paid in full for the Mini and Pro which was over a grand when they first came out.
3) See answer 1.
4) Do you want to be in the magazine? What does it matter if its free or not? ooooohhh I get it.... no - people dont pay me to say nice things if that's what you meant. Infact the Magazine is heavily subsidised in money and time by me and High Shine. And its free for you to read. Nice.
5) After this post, I knew the first customer in the UK, what better person to ask than somebody using these products 4+ years down the line. ( idea for mag article) 

 ;D ;D ;D ;D
