Review on πŸ’― High-Quality Mallory 12-810NYU Zinc-Plated Squeegee: Perfect 10" Head for Heavy-Duty Use by Derrick Patterson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits paint roller extension

Received this yesterday and used it on a couple of windows this morning. The scraper feels very good. The metal is thick and not thin at all. The scrubbing side is quite abrasive, which is good for removing dirt. The rubber side is thick. I wasn't sure from the pictures how flexible it would be; she is pretty tough. I found that because of the stiff rubber side of the squeegee, you have to push pretty hard and keep the handle parallel to the window to wipe the entire squeegee while cleaning. This is difficult if you have deep window sills. I had some difficulty peeling off all of the cleaner and getting a perfectly clean, streak-free clean. However, it was still much better than Windex with paper towels. I hope it breaks down a bit to make brushing smoother. The most important question now is the threads. I've probably spent over an hour going through the entire list of Revain squeegees trying to find one that fits my extension. I have "Mr. Longarm" that I bought in the paint department at Big Box hardware store. It fits perfectly on the ends of all my paint rollers for painting ceilings and high walls. It's also perfect for a squeegee! It was a really comfortable fit and worked great on my windows. I have however tested this on the broom handle that came with my Libman push broom from the same big store and it does NOT fit. Also note that the 'strings' start pretty much inside the handle in this case and also skip the thread, so whatever you're trying to put on needs to have 5-6 turns of thread to get a really snug fit.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
