the beauty of the Mk 1 was it was balanced and had the pivot close to the channel,the design was right !
one idea might be to use the handle from an Unger swivel Tbar [this is exactly the same handle/pivot part as the zero degree had ] and fit/modify to fit a jaw from some other squeegee to match
Great Idea @jonnyald I give it try later today! Never thought of that… I got a couple extra hanging around
I have one and my colleague also. I think I can take his retro model and swap it to the newer version. He wouldn’t care.
But shipping from Sweden maybe wouldn’t be worth it…
Thanks Jonathan i would never want to take a mans tool that he makes his living with! 
even if you would down grade his tool!
…hmm i wonder how much shipping from Sweden would be 
I have to admit that I have only worked with the old version.
What makes it so much better then the new one?
The pivoting point is closer to the channel which gives you more control.
Aha, of course!
I remember the first time I would clean store fronts and the old man who would show me gave me this tool.
First I saw him he squeegee a window with that tool on a pole, and I thought “wow”.
But surprisingly for me, when I cleaned my first window it was really easy. Felt like a pro immediately.
So it’s easy tool to use. Gives you really good control as you mentioned.
I just noticed this…lol
I have a question where did you get this adjustment fitting/screw??
It’s an old squeegee I had in my pile of tried it and didn’t use it. I think I have the old screw in the same pile. The original is adjustable by hand but as long as you have the same thread you could use a brass bolt. You could find one at Ace hardware. The have assorted bolts etc. Does that answer your question?
Ya sort of thanks. I like that dial screw it kinda of a cool idea.
I’ll go play around at ace and few other stores and see if I can come up with something similar.
Thanks.
@wcs, I just scored one of these oldies on ebay. If I don’t like it, you get the first crack at it, if you are still looking for one.
Thanks!
You probably will like it a lot, but if not for sure hit me up, just PM me thanks!
Supposed to get it tomorrow so I should know within a week if it stays in my small but growing arsenal. Bought it from a non-window cleaner that had it in a bin of misc tools, so not even 100% sure it’s still functional.
Man I was holding.out hoping that guy would just sell that squeegee and I missed it and you got it! Congrats hope you like it
I realised yesterday when I inventoried my storage that I’ve got 4 pieces of the old Unger zero degree handle.
Now I live in Sweden so shipping far to the States seems a little difficult.
What 4 pieces do you have Jonathan?
I mean whole squeegee
Great find Jonathon. I just sent you a PM.
Look like the joke is on me! Got this handle in the mail and it’s an old Unger Swivel-Loc handle, but not a zero degree. I can still use it, but the search for an old zero degree continues.
I’m still looking… if anyone has one or knows someone who might have one they want to part with, let me know. Thanks
