miwindowguy - The Problem with Sorbo

[@bluladder]

I’ve never been able to get on the wide body channel bandwagon. My “go to” is the Moerman Liquidator channels, otherwise I like the Ettore brass channels. I primarily service residential, and usually carry a 6” and 14”, and an 18” if they have larger windows. Good video, thought provoking for us window cleaning geeks 😅

It’s clear you don’t know what the Sorbo slot feature is for? it’s not just to move the blade up a notch for better blade positions. It’s actually for the Sorbo Docket blade cutter. You trim the rubber move it up a notch for a new edge . It’s actually genius. I’ve used Sorbo’s for nearly 30 years. The rubber quality is actually from a similar rubber compound as the Ettore, it’s not inferior to the Ettore. They actually even smell the same. I use both, and the characteristics are nearly identical. Both companies are the best in the industry in my opinion. I use Ettore and Sorbo. I’m currently modifying my Moerman equipment for real world use, liquidator 2.0-3.0 . (Needed trimming on edges. Anyhow good videos man, keep up the good work Dave “The window ninja” 🥷

We couldn't get sorbo rubber for over a year and those who couldn't find rubber had to change to something else. The rubber is available now here in New Zealand. So, yes you are right.

What solution do you use? Love the vids so far hoping for more!

[@miwindowguy]

Water and Dawn…that’s it!

I don't buy sorbo rubbers anymore but the ninja channel has a very similar feature but with only 2 available positions. In over a decade of windows cleaning I've used that second rubber slot maybe 3 times. It works for getting a flat or almost backwards angle to the glass or poling all the way to the ground I guess. However a 0 degree handle is a better way to do that anyway and no one uses the sorbo rubber cutting docket either. These days I mostly use a ninja channel with the gray plastic ends removed and modified to accommodate brass clips and I like it better than sorbo anyway. Well, that or brass or liquidador. There is also channel called "Light-rail" which is very similar to sorbo design but uses round rubber. It's decent but only available from one supplier as far as I know. And yeah a titanium channel would be amazing!

[@miwindowguy]

Where can I find these “light rail” channel? I’ve switched to Ettore Super Channel. And yes a Zero Degree is always the answer hahaha

The ninja channels suck, bad angle, ends are way too bulky, bad blade positon ( mainly because Unger rubbers are shorter!) Sorbo is the only wide body channel that works great all the time, end of story…
