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 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.

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.

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