What Types of BOABS Does Moerman Sell?
Moerman sells dependable varieties of Buckets on a Belt, or BOABs, that window cleaners love. BOABs are handy tools window cleaners love because they hold squeegees, towels, scrapers, and T-bars right on your hip for easy access while you work. Here are some key features:
- Moerman Drywalker Flex: This convenient BOAB keeps your squeegees and applicators easily accessible on your hip. The Drywalker Flex is modular and waterproof, holding a good amount of water while you work. The trademark drip catcher is a compartmentalized reservoir that allows you to check the water level visually without having to detach it. With its soft, removable inserts, it cradles your squeegees with care, never nicking or scuffing the rubber. This also makes it so you can choose to set up your Drywalker to be either a double squeegee holder or a squeegee holder by simply removing the insert. Made of highly abrasion-resistant and lightweight materials, this design is made to be highly maneuverable, so bending and kneeling aren't an issue. Window cleaners love that this BOAB stands upright when placed down.
- Moerman Toolholder 2.0: Designed with a spacious interior, the Toolholder 2.0 carries as many as 4 tools for you while you work! The interior features several slots to carry squeegees, complete stripwashers, and even a scraper. The back of the holder forms a concave shape that hugs your leg, so it moves with you while you work, making it less likely to tip while you bend and reach. The detachable clip fits any standard tool belt and features a quick-release clip that lets you release it from your belt when needed.
- Moerman Tool Holder Classic: This BOAB features multiple compartments to secure your scrubber and squeegees while simultaneously allowing you to be hands-free. Thanks to its plastic detachable buckle, you can easily fasten it onto and remove it from any standard tool belt as needed. As a bonus, it accommodates both righties and lefties!
Clearly, these options offer impressive improvements to the window cleaning experience. Which one is right for you? Check out this easy guide that can help you make the right decision!
What Makes a Moerman BOAB Stand Out?
Moerman BOABs are designed to stand apart from the competition in two distinct ways: they hold more tools and store more water.
1. Holds More Tools: The Moerman Toolholder 2.0 was designed with a spacious interior to help store various tool combinations while working. One professional window cleaner named Mark said of his Toolholder, “I was having issues with a few other BOABs in which the squeegees kept getting caught in my mop sleeve when holstering, causing them to fall out when I pulled out my t-bar. This comfortably holds a 22" and 6" mop and an 18" Sorbo Viper and Moerman Liquidator, and I have yet to have an accident since. No looking required; I get all my tools in and out of the holster with minimal wetness.”
- Other BOAB brands: Other brands can’t compete with the Toolholder. While some BOABs can hold up to three tools, they sacrifice space for comfort and ease of switching tools while working.
2. Stores more water: The Moerman Drywalker Flex doesn’t let your performance suffer due to water sloshing out every time you move. This design is made to be highly maneuverable, so bending and kneeling aren't an issue. The drip catcher is a compartmentalized reservoir that allows you to check the water level visually without having to detach it. Plus, the Drywalker Flex is modular and waterproof.
- Other BOAB brands: While multiple other brands carry tools at your hip, very few have this uniquely designed reservoir to hold water. In fact, most are not meant for redipping your scrubber, but to simply hold it and not drip water onto your person. This means you’re taking more frequent trips back to your bucket to refill on soapy water. With the Moerman Drywalker, however, you take fewer trips, thus focusing on work and getting more done faster!
How do you Attach a Moerman BOAB to your Belt?
Moerman designed their BOABS to be quick and easy to attach to your belt. The Toolholder 2.0 and the Moerman Tool Holder Classic have detachable clips that fit any standard tool belt. The quick-release clip simply detaches from your belt and slips off with ease when needed!
As for the Drywalker Flex, simply slip your belt through the loop, and it’ll sit at your hip with ease. And when you need to take a break, the Drywalker offers a unique feature where you can quickly release it from your belt with help from the detachable clip.
How Do I Maintain a Moerman BOAB?
There are some simple steps you can take to care for your Moerman BOAB. After all, a well-cared-for tool cares well for you in turn!
- Clean your BOAB regularly: Regularly washing your BOAB clean of grime keeps nasty buildup from occurring while eliminating odors. Regular washes, even in-between jobs, keep windows that much more pristine, as there will be less debris from previous washes left behind on glass! At the end of a long day, it could be tempting to toss your gear into storage, muck and all. However, it’s wise to rinse it thoroughly with water before putting your BOAB away for the day. The Drywalker Flex has some especially unique features where you can remove sections for easier clean-up. Its blue base, which collects water, is also detachable. So simply unclip it and drain water to keep your tools clean.
- Let your BOAB air dry: After giving it a good clean rinse, let it air dry in a cool, dry location. Avoid letting Moerman BOABs dry in direct sunlight, as this can damage or warp the material.
- Store your BOAB in a secure location: When you’re not actively using your Moerman BOABs, store it in a secure container away from exposure to extreme temperatures. Choose a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
