I have a shed full of poles , 18' extenders mainly , light but not hardwearing !
But the pole that has served me the best is still in use today , he will be 5 years old in June , 24 foot universal , by far the most hardwearing everyday pole i have come across , i just cant seem to break the thing !
It has had no new sections , clamps , or even internal guides , it has however had the odd coating of fiberglass resin , mechanic gloves on , smear all the sections , wait for it to go off and then lightly wet and dry sand it .
I think i paid £112 for it back then , not bad for 5 years service is it ?
