Hi Mike,
i love the pole, i dont think it will last long though, it already looks old after 2 weeks,
but its very light, a little bit of messing about , after arriving at job to get started , but once up and running its great , very light, and im working much faster, and i dont ever feel tired, or ache at the end of a day.
the only real drawback which does annoy me, is the clear pole hose.
whilst winding in my microbore, the pole hose tends to tangle itself around it...
and then i have to un knot the pole hose and coil that in.... something you dont have to do if you have it inside the pole.... then it catches on things in the van.
but all in all , its light, easy to use... and thats all im using at the moment . so cant be bad.
