Alex,

Do you know if it would be possible to somehow attach these to the Unger ErgoTec pole?

or if they are planning to bring out an extension pole longer than the 4m one?

Regards

Alistair

Not on the website yet! Only came in today. It will not replace trad gear, but I personally am using them for inside of hard to access communal glass on apartment blocks.

Anything is possible! I am looking at attaching them to longer poles. We are going to be selling them with a sprayer kit for for more serious inside work than the little spray bottle they come with. The next stage will be a longer pole for them.

Hahaha, Alex, that is excellent.

That's just what we need, something like that for a great price, so you don't need to sell a kidney. (baudoin.nl)

Do you know when all these little additions are going to be available?

Hmmmm...... looks like just the job for something I quoted the other day. It will save the hire of a cherry picker and all the associated hassle.

What's the price gonna be Alex?

At the other website it's sold for £64. I don't understand how Vikan can charge so much for essentially not very much.
