Telescopic and long wands for roofs, gutters, high walls and truck tops. Working from the ground instead of a ladder is faster and safer, and a good wand pays for itself the first time you do a two storey wash without setting up scaffold.

Fibreglass is lighter and non conductive, which matters near power lines. Aluminium is stiffer and cheaper. Carbon fibre is the lightest and the dearest and is worth it if you are on the wand all day. Watch the pressure and flow rating, and be realistic about handling - a 7 metre wand at full extension is hard work in wind. Pole locks, front lances, hose fittings and belt kits are listed here too, since they are the parts that fail first.
