If I had a tap at the brush end of the pole I'd forget to turn it on

I never turn on when pole is up, always down because this would mean leaving the pole unattended for a few seconds or finding the ez snap tap with one hand. I don't want the pole to fall on someone or blow over and I don't want a trigger or similar either. Saying that though I am doing mostly 1st floor. If was going up a few floors I would turn on after so I'll keep my ez snap tap connected as well.
I just want a little tap to replace the 'Y' piece!

Why not just stick one of these inline just before the y splitter:




 

I've been using these for months now and don't have a problem. I use it on my hip. Brilliant if you want to renew the pipe - takes seconds. Also gives you the option to whip it from another pole or remove pole sections.

i can do that with my ez snap. I don't want it on my hip though personally.
