See Hilti ate doing one . Anyone ever tried it  on free demo . Doesn’t look to bulky . And takes a lot of pressure off shoulders  . Think mine are starting to struggle . Was thinking this and extreme poles could give me a few more years . Matt

I reckon it’d be great for high commercial work, would love to have a go.

Problem is driving. One would need to take it off and put it on at the job. Okay if you had a chauffeur and you could keep it on.

Did wonder about driving . They said I think it takes 20 seconds to put on and take off . Also there is a video of a window cleaner using it and doesn’t look bulky . Thought might be able to drive short distances with it .

It's worth a try if you have a lot of high commercial work but it's probably not worth it for domestic work...

Are you close to retirement age then pal?
price higher/work harder!

After 21 years of water fed pole, my neck is gone, it's agony some days

Is it just me? It must be a common thing?

I've found the work we do keeps me fit and has made my neck back and shoulders incredibly strong, actually defined the muscle groups that our work uses. Work is just like playing sport or gym, rest and recover between sets and we get stronger 🙂
