I’ve never used the “swivel” part with wfp either where do you get them from?

Gardiners sell 'em. BUT you need to modify them to make them strong enough for wfp. The swivel adaptor is just like a ball-joint, one end fits your pole, the other end you brush. You need to drill a streight hole right through the centre & insert a pin/nail. This prevents the ball poppin' out of it's socket! 5 minute job. IMO, this is as big of a revolution than a carbon pole, I couldn't work without one now. I have jobs that a fixed brush couldn't acheive.

Think of all the situations now where you can't get square-on to the window- conservatories, cars/car ports, trees/bushes, flower pots/beds, etc.etc.etc.

Combine the neck + swivel to give you the abilty to adjust your brush to any angle both up/down & side to side!!! Doing the bottom of patio doors without bending down. Getting through juliet style balconys (railings) etc. Just twist your pole & the brush swivels left/right.

Trust me Ewan, you know I'm always right.

Hmm, drill through the center of what? I'm confused.

By the way, Gardiners is working on an integrated swivel system for their superlite brushes. I've always found the plastic ones a bit flimsy to use, and add to the closed length of the pole. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

Yes, I'm a confirmed swiveler. I just can't work without one these days. I use a small nut and bolt through mine. Not only does the brush always remain flat to the glass but with a little wrist action you can scrub in a circular motion at the same time as the vertical strokes.
I've said it for the last two years - it's about time a manufacturer came up with a much stronger purpose built one that a) lasts for years and b) has some adjustability to tension the movement and even a lockout facility.
look at the flipper swivel - it's such a simple design and probably far stronger than a ball and socket.

Does anyone have got some pics of the finished product? I might give it another go.
