Alloy poles arrived today,  had a play and they seem ok,  heavy at an angle though .

Will connect to my vac tomorrow and see how well it works .

Trying to work out if your taking the Mick Iraq being sincere

Ok  tried my gutter poles with the 1200 watt George Hoover,  it worked but the inlet blocked very quickly and not really powerful enough  .

Been looking into vacuum specs and found the nilfisk 1800 wAtt vac has 80 litres a second airflow and 250 suction power .

That's very close to most of the 3000 watt vacs ( around 100 to 135 litre a second airflow and some had lower suction power 230 )

Thinking of buying one (120 quid) and fitting a cyclonic inlet and 50 mm hose .

Anybody used one?
The alloy poles are fine but expensive for what they are and probably too heavy for higher /awkwArd work .
