Title: anyone using the unger nlite???
Post by: mickwc on August 28, 2012, 08:02:56 pm
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you are using the new unger nlite and if so what do you think of it?
I've been using a mixture of poles over the years and am getting sick of paying for poles that don't seem to last for more than a few months before you're having to replace sections, glue clamps, cover them in tape etc etc?
Views greatly apprciated please, for both domestic and commercial work?

I had a look at the poles a couple of weeks ago, them seem well made, I like the idea of the extension poles.  I'll probably try the base model carbon mix pole next time I need a pole - and add one extension section. 

The price jumps up a fair bit to full carbon and then again hi-mod.

Probably too new to get too many replies regarding wear & tear - in the unger brochure they list all the spare parts too

they do look good, think i might have to try one, like how u can add sections to make it longer and the pole diameter stays at 35mm, seems like they really thought about the design

Because from (22ft is it?) they are completely modular! For anyone unsure of the implications of this (with you stating that the design has been "really" thought about ;D) this means that for all use above 22ft there is NO TELESCOPIC ACTION/CONVENIENCE!!!!!!
 You add each section on separately. Now, sit back & think how that would affect your working day! ;D

Couldnt have said it better myself.

I got my hands on the composite 22 in a shop a few weeks ago. Very heavy and the brushes are close to the weight of a vikan

Have you seen one Winp®oClean?
I had a look at them. Each extension piece is telescopic. so you add 5ft piece and that can extend up to 11ft.
Each extension is 2 pieces of pole.

Looks well made and sturdy, not the lightest in the market though.

Craig... Whats 5ft add 5ft ? Just in my head that makes ten ft

if it was 11ft per extension, the base would need to be 6ft and the other nearly the same with the overlap needed.

If im wrong, please explain where ive gone wrong
