Ettore
Ettore Steccone was a window cleaner himself when, in 1936, he grew tired of the bulky steel squeegees of the time. He built a lighter version with a thinner rubber blade and showed it to his colleagues; that squeegee evolved into the Ettore Master, which you still see in every bucket today. The company is still based in California and remains family-owned. Squeegees, channels, rubber blades, washers, and scrapers: the essential tools of the trade.
