gradiners extreme a must

[Mike #1]

i have a carbon fiber Elite 35 ft pole and its fantastic lightweight and rigid it has no positive stops which means you can take sections off in seconds ,    Good quality well made and easy to use lateral clamps     
 , I cant  praise it enough ,    Had mine about 5 months and loving it no complaints at all,     I typically use it as a 25ft most days and just add on the other sections when needed takes seconds .    I have the super-lite extreme standard brush fitted ,  good closed length for those awkward and tight spaces down the sides of connys etc   .   MIKE

Just purchased a  Gardiners 25ft slx with super light extreme brush(white).It is is a cracking pole and brush for everyday work.The brush can be turned over to scrape bird muck off etc.I have really enjoyed using it.It is definately worth spending the money.

Hi Jay, does the scraper work? It's the only thing that bugs with with wfp , stubborn bird crap. I've tried the idea with the old plastic card under the screws as in, http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=125244.0

But it's the wrong way round when you turn pole 180deg to use it.

Yes mate ,the front leading edge of the brush has been designed to be used as a scraper,you turn it 180 to use it.

I think that the above comments highlight the problem with hose choice - what suits one user another user hates. I'm the same I love some hoses and hate others!

A lot of our clients love the latest soft formulation and keep coming back for more for the rest of their poles - These same clients hated the previous stiffer hose.

On the other hand;

We do have clients who hate the current soft formulation (as some above) and much preferred the older stiffer stuff.

To sort this out in about 3-4 weeks time we will be offering a choice on all of the poles -  either soft  non-memory or the stiffer formulation.

Of course there will still be those that prefer the even more rigid PU hose (like Ionics' orange) and there is a good choice of suppliers that can supply this. I personally do not like PU hose at all (just my opinion) so this is why we will not be stocking it.

Alex the new pole i had today is fab and i mean fab but can you please tell me what ever happened to the pole hose the normal yellow stuff, before you went over to the florescent yellow.  If you want me to send a sample i can and would like 30m of it if you can still get it many thanks, Dave.

Glad you like the pole. We will soon be getting in a formulation that is very similar to the previous hose you are talking about. When it is in give us a call and we send you out a length for free.

The scraper on the Xtreme works even better with a swivel. You can turn the brush to the side & scrape.

These will be the business!

I'm using a modified swivel from another application at the mo' but can't wait for these gardiner ones. The scraper becomes much more functional when you don't have to turn the whole head assembly 180 degrees.

So does the scraper go on top    Sorry for been thick

The scraper on the Xtreme brushes is actually the top edge of the plastic stock, it's shaped like this ^ so has a sharpened edge all along it's length.

Ok  thanks , has it proved to be a good investment

I've had every brush in gardiners range + vikans, pro-window, unger, facelift, cleantech, salmon etc & since getting my first Xtreme in January this year I've not used anything else since!

Out of the two current Xtreme versions, the white one is my choice of brush.

No problem.

Just out of interest, what brush do you use now?
