I buy mine in bulk from Vast Janitorial Supplies I think. Normally buy ten at a time. I drill and put a bolt through the middle. I can't work without one anymore.
Wish they could bring out a better, stronger one.

I have made my own much stronger and simple i`ll get some pics put on 

[Craig Trevain]

Lammy- how have you found the uni clean?

[dai]

I have several that I converted from  stanley paint pad handles. They can be locked in position if not needed, and are as tough as old boots.
I couldn't work without one now either.

Lammy- how have you found the uni clean?

[chopsie]

cheers for all the replies.I ordered a couple from gardiners soon after my original post, I too find it really difficult working without it,This afternoon was a right pain,you have to try and get square on to the window,often impossible.

[DaveG]

Dont know what you boys do with 'em...

Dave, I'm still using the one i got off you last year

[Dave Willis]

Dam, did I let one get away?

[chopsie]

me neither.do not think i have been rough with it,i was just cleaning an upstairs window and it split on the really thin bit just below the ball joint,made even thinner having a hole through it.

Dam, did I let one get away?

Yeh took it when you wernt looking!

Chopsie, is the one that broke a Gardiners one?  If it was , give them a ring and they might send you a freebie?

[chopsie]

yes it was.only got it couple of months ago.I have ordered 2 more off them.will see how these last.

[DaveG]

Ok mate , worth a try to get a freebie, I did a couple of months ago when something else they supplied broke

[jouk45]

make a hole through the side and put a thin bolt throgh it, this stops it coming apart

[chopsie]

the one i just had was tight as a ducks anus.I tried pulling it apart and had no chance,so did not bother drilling it
