I found this at my local Ocean State Job Lot over the weekend and wanted to see what you all thought of this squeegee? Anybody ever use one of these?

Interesting. The first thing that jumps out at me is that it is only 24" wide. Can I connect two of them together to make it 4' wide? :-)

That looks pretty cool, agree that it would be nicer if it were bigger but it is pretty nice for us folks with smaller rinks. Thanks for sharing.

My only concern is that it would create slush. If you're spraying water onto ice shavings (say, after a skating party), then you'll create insta-slush. With a normal resurfacer, that slush gets matted down with the towel and smooths everything out. With the squeegee, you'd end up pushing around this pile of slush. I guess you could push it into the boards, but not sure I see the point. You're basically putting water down in front of the squeegee and then pushing it away - why put it down at all?

I love squeegee's for rinks, but this doesn't really appeal to me.

Great point Joe. I hadn't thought of that.

What do you think if I attached a towel to it similar to most home made zamboni's made with PVC?

For the price of that squeegee, think how many homebonis you could make?!
