I’M might stay with Ettore products like the super channels but I was wondering what other channels do any of you recommend? I really like the 18 inch. Brass channel from Ettore but I know now that I need at less 30 to 36 inches channel for store fronts.
Thanks Mike.
I use a 24" and a 36" Channel. Ettore makes them but I use Pulex Alumax channels. Look in the traditional tools section here and see what Ettore has to offer. You can get the Ettore Super channels in 18", 24", 30", and 36"
Longest I have is a 22" ninja, used for my one & only storefront.
Long channels are definitely helpful for store fronts. I have used several over the years and am presently using Sorbo 30" channels. Tool choices are almost as diverse as tastes in food. You really have to try out a couple of different manufacturers to find what fits your cleaning methods and body mechanics. The 30" is not a beginners tool. We consider that a step up tool after the 18" is managed well. It can be a challenge to carry with you and requires different control and strength for the S curve
I have both a 36" and a 30" Sorbo. I think that the 36" is just a bit to long and unwieldy except for the right job. The 30" is my go-to squeegee for most storefronts. You can knock out large panes quickly. It is like driving a big truck after driving a VW and takes some adjustment to start driving it though.
Have you tried the slayer. It is a very nice wide body channel in long sizes.
I haven’t tried the slayer. What is the difference from the Sorbo?
Like this:
I use an Ettore 22 stainless steel channel. It’s super light, and makes store fronts a breeze. I have tried a 24 ninja, I liked it ok, but the channel body was a lil bit too wide for my taste, I had a few issues getting in between glass doors and their handles. So, I’m now really happy with my 22 stainless Ettore. But I did have to try out a few brands before I found the one for me.
