Like i said above mine has 4 wheels but i've not used it yet as i'm just starting up and colecting tools, but i would have thought it would roll away when you wring the sponge out, or am i stupid.

Are you sure you don't just have two spare wheels?

Leatherface · 16-04-2007

Think 4wd made by tilerite - See darren NE tile training.

I't not really a one handed process - you got to keep hold of the bucket.

Any one use gloves with this (neoprene or anything) I got some cracking skin bubbles to play with when i done 35m2 one afternoon.

Why you get skin bubbles ? Hands should be relatively dry if using washboy. Or do you mean blisters ?
Also - that's the reason I don't use the wheels, stops washboy moving about so can do with one hand !!

And Varley, yours had non for months until i put them on for you - lazy git!

Wash boy - fantastic until some bint wants you to use black grout.

Cleaning it out after reminds me of fighting over the PVA pots to pick out at school.

Aye, now the bugger moves all over when i try to use it

. Got to chase it round the floor, keeps me fit though

I got the 4wd version from Karl Dahm..............it did'nt come with wheels.........they were extra

Great bit of kit on large floors.

I also got a doz extra sponges from Tradetiler.

Wait until you get a rough stone floor, your'll understand then. Rips them to shreds
