Please note the handle .
I have stuck CAR VELOUR CARPET around the handle this is why I can use the wagtail like this.
However you could put it on your squeegee handle to make it easier to use and hold in the hand as well.[/SIZE]

These were all scrubed before hand so to show you how the squeegee work was done.
Both squeegees were modified having a strap over the disc to allow me to hold my hand closer to the squeegee channel.[/SIZE]
ive been using a couple of HE-MAN squeegees a couple of weeks now and i can really feel the difference- the tendons running through my wrist tunnel are in a different plane to how they are with any other squeegee - long term its important not to have your tendons in the same set place . Another advantage is that the disc on his squeegee is flexible,thus allowing me to close out a lot better .
He-Man, is the thumb attachment something you made? I would like to try that, but can’t see myself making one. what kind of material is it? Nice work. Thanks for taking the time to make the vid’s.

[SIZE=“3”]Jonnyald,
Thanks for the vote of confidents in the squeegee modifications.
This is the exact reason that the modification were made this way.
The concept was there it just needed a bit of tweaking.
So you can use it many different ways comfortably.
