over the last few months I have replaced section one and section two on both the extreme 18 poles that we use every day.
I have had these poles a few years and look after them, granted only work 16 - 20 a week on the glass.
As an everyday pole I cant fault them when compared with some poles out there. that is why I replaced the sections with extreme sections, the pole is our main tool in use all the time so why not when replacing sections keep it to the original ?
