Small Squeegee holster idea

Hey guys found this at Home Depot. Was having a hard time holding my squeegee in my BOAB with a 6" channel so I tried this. It works pretty good the only thing I would of changed in the design would be to add a locking ball to keep it tight. The blue one on it doesn’t lock and so I slides and gets loose. But it worked really good and saved me a lot of time and hassel. It’s easy to take off and put back on. Hope this helps someone. Oh yeah it was only like $8.

Interesting. Does that just slide onto your belt?

I use the Pulex BOAB for my larger squeegees and a hammer loop for a small 5-8 inch squeegee. The little ones do like to fall out of BOABs when your not paying attention.

Edit- I just looked at HD and saw that it does fit on a belt. I might have to take a look next I’m there.

I use this - ettore double loop nylon holster for my two small squeegees (6" and 8"). I open the stitching on the front loop so it can accept the handle.

Werner has a step ladder line that those are compatible with as well, I think.

You know what else works great? Your back pocket:cool:

I keep spare towels in my back pockets. Doesn’t work out to good when you go to grab a towel and pull the squeegee out when your on top of a ladder.

Not if you like to keep your butt dry. Bad enough having my right side wet all the time.

The wet butt is kinda my thing. Wet Butt Window Cleaning, I better register that trade name.

I know I’m a little backwards, tools in my pockets and towels in my belt. Hard to change after 20 years I guess.

Lol- Wet Butt Windows. Catchy

I just added a hammer loop onto the belt. It’s like a hard, metal, U-shaped thing attached to a leather piece that the belt slips through. Cost about $5.00.

The BOAB is on my hip, and the 6" squeegee is right in front where I can grab it quickly.

Sometimes, I even put both a 6" and 8" there along with two others in my BOAB…depends on the window sizes, of course.

cut about my pulex boab and a cable tie front the b.o.a.b ,big slot so easy to line up any squeegee or 2 into it

I use a hammer holder for my 6" squeegee. works great and easy access.

14

Have you tried using Velcro to strap it on ?

15

I use a hammer loop for my scrim. I use a 2 hole Unger Leather Holster for my 12" squeege (which goes in squeege 1st) and my 5" (squeege which goes in handle 1st). So far so good!

What did you cut it with Jonny? A hacksaw?

17

i heated up a steak knife over a gas ring on the cooker and when the tip is red hot it cuts easily . keep the window open near the gas ring though as the stink created is pretty strong !!

18

That’s why I asked! I tried widening my Ettore boab’s with a heat gun for those extra thick channels - it works to a point, but highly toxic.

On the subject of holding on to your towels. I use the unger ergo tech belt system with suspenders. I put my towels between my stomach and the suspender straps. I know it looks funny, but I always have my towels right there and I can load up a large quantity if needed.

On a side not. If your unger belt system belt portion starts to sag (soft cloth) and makes everything no longer hang correctly you can do what I did. I restrung all the unger items as well as others with a (stiffer) ettore belt. This works great.

One other suggestion if you use the suspender set up. I put safety pins in originally to hold the suspender shoulder straps in place. I got tired of getting poked when the safety pins opened up so I took the suspenders to a shoe repair shop and had them use their heavy duty sewing machine to sew the straps in the position that was most comfortable for me. Cost me $8.00 and now its set for life.
