Ettore’s newest squeegee handle is the Zero Degree Pro+ Super System handle. The Pro+ Super System line of handles has long been a favorite of many window cleaners and the Zero Degree handle adds yet another dynamic addition to a great line of tools. This new handle fits all of Ettore’s channels.

Essentially, zero degree squeegee handles give window cleaners versatility to create their own angle with their squeegee which allows them to overcome obstacles due to this versatility. Zero degree handles make a great tool for delicate cleaning situations like cleaning the inside of a skylight where you will not have to crank your extension pole in any direction to close out your squeegee against the frame. Also in scenarios where you engage thick brush or landscaping that block access to lower panes, you can simply snap the handle into any extension pole using the quick lock feature and fan the pane from the ground standing far back from the glass and still close out flush leaving minimal detailing.

The standard Pro+ Super System Handle is designed exactly like the new Zero Degree Pro+ Super System Handle with the exception of the degree the channel sits in handle. The standard handle is angled 30 degrees to allow the channel to rest on the sharp corner of the rubber while in the users hand working close to the glass or with a pole where dipping the pole (higher panes) is an option. The zero degree gives the user the option of choosing their degree with more versatility and control. All tools have their purpose in a window cleaner’s arsenal and this new Zero Degree Pro+ Super System handle will make a great addition to the professional window cleaner’s road gear.

Here are some photos that show a side-by-side comparison of the standard Pro+ Super System handle and the new Zero Degree Pro+ Super System handle. You can see all of the features including; the rust free stainless steel hinge, fade resistant black high performance plastic and the flexibility of being compatible with all Ettore’s channels.

Veteran Window Cleaning is featured in this video. Here you will see them cleaning a 9 story apartment complex with a waterfed pole and boomlift. The Bryson Building is located in Los Angeles, CA and is a historical landmark.

Equipment used were Ionic Grafter Poles and RHG EZ Pure.

Disclaimer: Because this was a historical landmark and the frames were in need of repair, their customer felt is was only important to focus on the windows.
