Ettore Curved Industrial Duty Steel Floor Squeegee, 36-Inch

Very sturdy, works well. The angled ends are much better for directing the water. Make sure you buy a good long handle, this is only the head itself.

Definitely gets thre job done - better for smooth floors, concrete though. Great for contractors and even restaurants!

This tool does not sit flat to the surface, as some reviewers have said. It also can't be made to do that by bending anything, as some other reviewers have said.However, the rubber blade is thick and tough, likely to be durable. With use, the outside edges will wear down, bringing the center of the blade into closer contact with the surface being wiped.This tool didn't work as well as I thought for the purpose I bought it, but that wasn't the tool's fault. Rather, the problem lay with the uneven surface I was trying to remove water from. Even with that, it pushed a lot of water with each sweep.Experiment with your particular task, but for mine, I found that it worked better to move laterally while pushing water, rather than making a single, long pass. That is due to the fact that I was pushing water uphill. If you are pushing water downhill, as in out of a garage, it probably doesn't matter much.

Really good quality Now to locate a handle with matched quality.

The rubber on the squeegee needs to be a bit softer as it tends top skip/shake when pushing it and in turn, dose not glide smoothly over the floor when pushing water.

Never had one this wide before and it is really a time saver. No regrets. Would buy again.

The rubber blade: too thick & stiff. It doesn't conform to small variations on the tennis court. Because the frame is curved at each end, you have to find the angle at which it works best.Pushing water worked once--after that, it chattered over the surface without pushing much water. Pulling water worked better; it still required great effort.I replaced the blade with a softer material (two thicknesses of 1/4" or one thickness of 1/2" closed cell foam). Now it works great.I also straightened the frame so that it works at different angles. Then I added about 9" on each end, giving me a 54" wide squeegee that kicks a**Also: nuts & bolts hold the squeegee blade, you need a screwdriver AND a wrench. I welded the bolts to the blade holder, but not everyone can.And: you have three separate parts bolted to the blade. It should've been two. try juggling three parts and the blade while trying to push the bolts through.Maybe buy this but get 1/2" firm foam and make your own blades (which I did).October 16, 2024 update. Finally, vandals at the tennis court destroyed the modified squeegee, which they did easily because the metal from which it was made was thin—maybe 18 or 20 gauge. They also broke the wooden handle. I rebuilt the thing to 52” wide from 1/8” steel with a square steel tube for a handle. It is the bomb.

I was very impressed by how well this was made. It is big with a nice thick rubber piece on the bottom. My only complaint is the handle is a nail in style, not screw in. So didnt work with the handles I have. Had to by a new one to fit. Havent actually used it yet.
