Ettore and Unger make a zero degree squeegee. We have never used these. Sorbo only! I have watched videos and it would seem like these squeegees do the same job as the Sorbos. Tell me, If we buy one will we use it? Thanks John
I have an Unger 0 degree. Its not a tool that we use every day, but it does have its place in the toolbox. Ours probably gets used the most for cleaning windows over bushes and flower gardens.
Hello Capital John,
I’m the Dange-Ster…Say I carry a 0-degree in my work belt on every job I do, The channel is 12 " but I can switch it to the 18" or 16" channel that I may be carrying, easily.
They come in handy in lots of situations…You know I think the unger works fine but I’ve made one off the cuff in the field, check out this thread that I made about it , http://windowcleaner.com/vBulletin/wc-equipment-vehicle-setups/12483-field-adjustment.html, this may help out to get you a quick 0-degree.
Say John welcome on board the forum !

I pretty much use the Squeegee Handle, Ettore, Pro+ | Window Cleaning Supplies, Tools, Equipment, Products exclusively. I also use them with my S0rb0 channels. Though in the future they will probably be Slayer or Pickle channels.
I have regular Squeegees and Unger Ninja squeegees as well as Wagtail squeegees; I even have the regular version of the Ettore Pro+ for standard size channels, but I always go back to my 0 degree Ettore Pro+ swivel handles.
Personally I dont want to use squeegees at all(WFP all the way) but until they invent an indoor WFP that I can use all the time-- I’ll keep using my Ettore Pro+'s.
I have no experience with the Unger version but I bet it’s just as good.
I always like to read threads about the zero degree squeegees. THey are unique tools used by true professionals. We designed the zero degree 20 years ago and it has had a loyal but small following ever since. We completely redesigned the zero degree about 4 years ago with overmolding a fixed center position and locking cone feature. Based upon feedback from this group I also changed the tooling recently to allow the squeegee to swivel more freely when loosened. I was not aware of the change made by our engineers and ordered it reversed. The zero degree is designed for pole work - it is strange in the hand compared to a zero degree. The applications mentioned are right on. The best pole time savers are are longer horizontal windows, windows with deep ledges as you can clean horizontally and avoid the edge at the bottom, inside atrium or overhead glass (bring an umbrella for the drips) as well as odd shaped glass (round triangle, etc) that you can clean with the squeegee. Good luck.

i use mine all the time on the insides of skylites without having to get on a ladder…love it
I am with Sharen. We use ours all the time too. I prefer the Unger 0 with the quick release home jobber adjustment. It can really speed up windows above and beside doors that are smaller. Also windows with booths in the way, like fast food places. And those windows with pesky rose bushes between you and your job. I love it!
Anybody else out there modify their Unger zero degree handle with a Ettore quick release clip. I can change channel sizes quickly with my modified version.
A few years ago after a Mark Strange post.
Yepper, that is the way to go! 
they already have indoor wfp and a swifter like product that attaches to your pole
Yeah but it’s really only meant for maintenance cleans. It’s my understanding that if the windows are actually dirty, you need to clean them with a t-bar and squeegee.
So technically they use water and a pole, but in my oppinion they aren’t water fed poles as we commonly think of them.
that tool was awesome poling skylights from a scaffold w/ 20’ from the high beam to the center of the glass. my favorite use is inside big frame work around the glass. puts many more years on the wrist.
I have been getting a handful of skylights to clean, but my issue with poling is dripping on the bottom part of the skylight wall.
I’m wondering how you pole a skylight without dripping on the paint and leaving dirt streaks?

I have found taking a surgical towel and folding it to fit right where the water will drip catches it nicely and prevents the dirty drip. Usually you can squeeze a little bit of the towel right between the glass at the bottom of the skylight. You may have to touch up that little area at the bottom to finish but using the zero and a pole saves the kneck for sure, IMO.
I’ve been using ones I built for years with and angle adapter for deep ledges.
