Reviewers of Ettore squeegees say they don't work with threaded poles, and instead clip on. But this photo clearly shows threads. What's the deal?

The squeegee I purchased does not have threads .The pole one the other hand goes both ways:)

I bought this as a Xmas president for my boyfriend who's a window cleaner. I don't know much about it.

There are no threads in the squeegee head unit. I believe the best you can expect is a compression/friction connection with the extension (which is threaded).. It holds well enough, but doesn't have the security of a thread. For me, it's a quality squeegee head that's best used by hand...

The pole includes both the clip and the threaded end. That way if you want to purchase a brush for washing your car, it will screw onto the threaded end. It's dual purpose!

They don't work with certain "other" poles, but this one works with their squeegees.

I think they all have the screw end. For this mop-squeegee, you need to also get a tapered adapted. I purchase a plastic and a wood one. Both work OK. The adapter screws onto the pole and the taper snugs into the squeegee.

We used our own posts to attach the pieces. We did not use the clips. My husband screwed the pieces together. Hope this helps! :o}

I assume it's a combination of fastener used and mounting method. I personally wouldn't put more than 50 pounds per pair of clips eg: if you used one set in the middle on a picture that'd be one pair.

I found that the clips were not all that important in my case, the pole was the perfect hight with the poles just in (they don't slide within each other), I didn't have to make it taller. If you find that you need them just email the person you bought it from and tell them they were missing. I hope this helps

Unger poles have an attachment which is threaded. The trrmination is the hollow end of the pole with a hole in the side for a spring loaded button that locks attachments into the pole. A screw mount for a bulb changer is useless since you can unscrew the sucker cup. A tip if bulbs are in a difficult location or up high use a thin coating of dielectric grease on the bulbs screw threads (it keeps the bulbs from sticking)

I believe they have lock tite on the threads. Warm it up with a heat gun or hair dryer and see if that does it.

some heads have holes that are not standard at all. if u find that the head does not fit tightly on the pole part, i would wrap it with enough wide scotch tape until the head fits tight and won't move around. i hope i did not misunderstand the question.

My thoughts exactly. I am in the same predicament. The suction cups are specific to the product. I would suggest contacting the vendor Starlight and Sunny because they seem more than happy to help customers. That is what I plan to do.

It has the capability to insert a pole if needed for reach. Regular broom sized handles work perfectly. There are holes for screws if you need to permanently attach. This squeegee is perfect for picture windows that are hard to reach. It has other purposes as well. It's a good buy.

You didn't listen (read and comprehend): The SX40 is not threaded. It is a bayonet fitting - very nearly the identical diameter as a threaded, so a threaded item will turn into it - but is not matching a thread, just held by irregularities in the surface. It is not as strong as a mating of threads. If you just wanted to insult someone, why not be more honest about it? Sorry I wasted my time in responding to someone with such a superior and condescending attitude - especially since you don't know what you are talking about.

Each of the ribbon posts have a large lip on the end of them. You do not need that lip, so I suggest that you cut off that lip, and the spool will come right off of the post.

I'm not certain, but I believe the pole would universally connect with the different Ettore products. I have no complaints about the pole. It seems quite strong when extended despite being pretty light.

yes, it does screw onto standard broom handles, paint handle extensions, etc. In fact, that's the only way it mounts. It does not use the Ettore quick attach that their squeegees use.

I purchased the Ettore expandable 12" aluminum pole. the brush snaps in to place. The Ettore pole has a screw provision to allow it to accept other manufacturers accessories. I have the Ettore window squeegee, lamb duster, and cobweb brush. None of the Ettore accessories have screw threads.
