Work Belt Setup (for the newbies)

Use your imagination you silly monkey

Thats so FUNNY…I can’t breathe…What an Epic response bro…My Wife is still laughing… ;)

Hey [MENTION=3270]joe hoesch[/MENTION] where did you get those spring-loaded towel holding clamps???

doogie howser

The two foot pole seems genius to me, I don’t even have one never even thought about it. I haven’t a great deal of experience yet but I can see where that would have come in handy everywhere I’ve been. Being somewhat new I am not great with the longer poles yet (at least that’s what she said), plus you could have this thing with you at all times like when you need just a few more inches on a ladder. Ordering one today, what is that attached to your bucket with?

It’s a small PVC collar I attached to the scraper holder with a small bolt and nut. I use a Garelick pole since it doesn’t have a collar and I sawed off the threaded tip and put an Ettore tip on. I do this with all our poles.

Nice [MENTION=793]Rob T[/MENTION]…Another trick of the trade.

Keep the great pic and tricks coming folks…

Thanks Rob,
It appears the 2 ft pole is a rare item indeed.

ahh the short pole, very handy…

I always have mine if I’m doing HI-Lift jobs. (hook is to hang on the lift rail or the back of my belt if needed)

and what the heck is that on my tips?

I drill a hole and add a bamboo chopstick… ???

works great for those spider eggs that stick to the rubber molding on commercial glass, little bug turds that won’t budge with a normal wash, and keeps my towel locked on for detailing corners and edges. Bamboo is super tuff, doesn’t scratch glass, won’t rot, and they’re free.

Wowzer, a chopstick? Very cool.
Are you cutting down a Mr. Longarm for the short pole?

Nice Jimmy I like that

Another great tip…

yeah, not all that intentional, dropped it off a ladder years ago and the bottom was damaged and splintered so I cut it short.
amazes me they sell those for 40 bucks now… glad I have a few, I like the curved personally.

@ bunkerboot: ordered some bronze wool yesterday. . . .

magic eraser is on my list for this week. should I drop the extra cash for the name brand? all $1 of it… hehehhh

do you use the whole thing or cut it up? how is it dry vs wet?

I’m getting a couple for sure to check 'em out. Just wondering what those differences are.

thanks to both—

The main differences are density and longevity. They all clean about the same. If you have a PriceChopper supermarket, their brand eraser is the best. Higher density, longer life. Good for you for trying new tools. You’ll love the bronze wool

i try to use the erasers dry, sometimes you can just scrub the stain off and walk away, no detailing necessary. they definitely don’t work as well when soaked. sometimes a little juice will help them be more effective. you’ll just have to play with it and find the sweet spot. the contractor grade mr. kleen ones are the best i’ve used, and sometimes i do cut them in half. depends on the job.

I just buy the off brand from Home Depot. And just dunk the. In water squeeze them out: use till there is no more lol/

So does anyone use the “bullring” I have not seen one in any of the pics so far.

I have two, I use them when the mood strikes.

Let me know how you like it! I’m pretty sure you won’t ever look back I don’t really have a preference with magic erasers - IMO the off brand / cheaper ones fall apart a lot quicker
