Riley Hopkins - Flying Wing - squeegee review

If your a screen printer like myself you may have seen these at screen printing shops.

The concept of the Flying wing is a good concept. It has a good handle as far as how the squeegee feel because the handle is made in a natural angle of the hands. The handle is pretty easy to clean as well with screen wash so cleaning it is a breeze.

As for the cons I still feel the the flying wing squeegee may be a little to heavy compared to a traditional straight squeegee. If you doing small jobs then its not really a big deal but if your doing a two, three color job at 600- 800 shirts it will take a toll on you.

If they made the squeegee a little lighter or equal to weight to a traditional squeegee then they would have a perfect product.

On the upside if your a beginner getting into screen printing it makes a good product to learn proper stroke angle when you do your prints.
