I use one of those, and drape the hose around my neck. the tap is always to hand. easy peasy

the autobrush is so 2 years ago. I had 2. I thought they were great at the time, now I realise they were just a waste of money. better of with just a simple tap. some prefer them stuck onto the side of their pole

My work is nearly all domestic work and I find a trigger fitted to the pole to be the best way to control the water flow.

Ditto, I have mine set up exactly the same as in the pic, works a treat.

Same here, on Domestic it's by far the best thing you can use, you will save lots of water, and it's just very handy, I think everyone should have a go with them, they are easy to depress as well, no sore hands or fingers.

I've just used a spare trigger to make myself a lance for rinsing the car with pure water after a wash. Just fitted the fan jet that came with the trigger into the good section of a broken pole and fitted the trigger to the other end. Works a treat. No leathering off. Just let it dry
