For some time now Wagtail have been a popular tool of choice in Australia where they are designed and manufactured by Willie Erken (shown above demonstrating the latest version of the orbital flipper tool).
More recently these tools have become a hot topic of discussion in the UK as more and more window cleaners are discovering the wonders of the Wagtail.
What makes them different is the patented design of the orbital swivel mechanism.
The first time you pick it up you will likely try to use it as you would a standard squeegee - and probably wonder what you are doing wrong!
Don’t worry - once you understand how it works the turning action is very quick, very accurate and less strain on the wrist. (Watch the video above to get the idea of how to use it.)
For those of you that clean shop windows you’ll fall in love with it immediately. Using a pivotal tool allows you to dramatically speed up the time you spend cleaning those windows above head height where previously you may have used an A frame ladder or straight pulls with an extension pole.
When working from a ladder the combination tool allows you to scrub and squeegee the window without changing tools.
Wagtail have listened to the feedback on earlier models an much improved the quality of the applicator pad. The new micro-fibre pad is extremely absorbent and attacks grime much more aggressively. The neat design of the sleeve also allows for a very accurate squeegee action meaning less detailing.
