I've said it before and I'll say it again, them swivels are absolute rubbish. Buy a floor mop swivel and adapt it to fit your brush.

[s.w.c]

well i dont think there rubish, ive used them for about two years now, its just a difference of opinion, but the fact the swivel idea is a good one.

Ionics have just brought out there version of the swivel called the sideswipe and as per usual ridiculous price  :

how do you pin them macmac?

Drill a hole directly through the centre & insert a nail/pin. this stops the ball poppin' out of the socket.

Mines just arrived today.

Why would you want to pin it, I cant understand that, surely if you do that you prevent it from swivelling!! 

Also, am I right in thinking that the movement is meant to be from side to side rather than up or down?

Matt,the ball joint can pop out and it is best to drill a hole through it and pop a bolt through with a nylock nut on but dont over tighten it so it still moves side to side

So looking at it I guess you'd drill down through from top to bottom so it can still swivel from side to side?

Mac what stops the swivel from spinning round when you don't want it to?

When the brush is on the glass, you controll it by twisting (or not) the pole. When the brush isn't on the glass, nothing but this isn't a problem, you get used to manipulating the brush no matter the situation.

I used it briefly today.

It became apparent that it isnt likely to be useful when cleaning the outsides of gutters and I had difficulty doing the downstairs sills from the side.

Is this the case Mac in your experience?

I find gutters easier, I only wipe off sills with a cloth if needed.
