Here’s how -
@mistersqueegee- How did I miss this??? Where do you get the acme threaded base for that angle
adapter? I would love to use my garelick poles for lower level work.
My guess would be a marriage between these two.
Ettore Standard Angle Adaptor | Window Cleaning Supplies, Tools, Equipment, Products
Unger HiFlo MultiLink Adapter - Goose Necks - Water Fed Poles / Systems
Ettore offers the ACME threaded angle adapter.
Take the Ettore one apart and add the euro side to it.

Steven is correct.
Great Idea, Why did’nt I think of that? Thanks Tony
This just saved me $400. What a great solution.
Good work!. I have an Unger pole that I just bought a new tip for which has Euro threads on it. Now depending on what I am using I can switch tips from Acme to Euro. Anything to make things multifunctional!
you need to be careful because sometimes the teeth do not match up, I had that happen but Alex took care of me.
By teeth, do mean the threads or the teeth in the actual tightening device?
the teeth that tighten the two pieces together with the thumb screw
K, thanks!
[FONT=tahoma][SIZE=3]Just swap the bottom half of the angle adaptor with an ACME one.
Have’nt they been around for years?[/SIZE][/FONT]

When buying my first WFP it had a choice of an ACME or EURO thread for the bottom half of the angle adaptor.
That was a fair few years ago.

[FONT=tahoma][SIZE=3]So if you have the new type Whack Adaptor which have the EURO threads on it.
Just change out the bottom part for a ACME one.
OH!!! Do they make a ACME bottom thread?
Because it has bigger teeth on the joint now as well.
So it would not be compatable with other angle adaptors.
Will we see these ACME threads on the bottoms of Whack Adaptors [SIZE=5]Perry?
[/SIZE]Would help the WC’s that are starting out that use budget poles.
This would make so they can use these poles on most WF brushes which nearly all have.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma][SIZE=3]EURO threads in them.

I’m probably one of the only people to use this concept in reverse. I have a carbon wfp with the standard euro thread, and have adapted it to take a diy brush with acme threads…
I’m looking forward to the acme version of the “quick switch” from FoC. [MENTION=378]Perry Tait[/MENTION]

What’s the solution if the teeth don’t line up? Are the ettore acme angle and the unger euro angle still compatible? I’m looking for a few adapters but don’t want to drop over $20 per on a reach around.
