Facelift generally like the pole to be sold at the same retail price. We can always get hold of these for you and fitted up with whatever gooseneck and brush combination you want. We supply them fitted with an aluminium end screw that is compatible with the plastic adjustable necks and our aluminium gooseneck range.

That pole is a beast and far to heavy for me.

Both good poles. I would make more money selling you the Facelift though!!

X-Tel Carbon Fibre (£779)

Pole.......Sections........Extended Length................Approx. Weight 
60ft........9x6' 6"..........59' 9"..............................6.52kg

Facelift CF (£904)

Pole.......Sections........Extended Length................Approx. Weight
56 cf....6x8' + 2x6'........53'................................6.50kg

The X-Tel is lighter per extended cm and is 7ft longer. The Facelift is probably slightly tougher.

Alex, I know you probably feel like you can't but just tell him about the Super-lite 2. Its a much better option for that height, Luke

the thing with poles that height is the bend its a pain in the backside, and the weight i suppose, but a big fat wobbly pole makes things hard work

The worst pole I have ever held was a 60ft universal carbon fibre. It was about 12ft long when closed and it weighed over 10kg!!!! Luke

Is that called price fixing? It's something i don't understand. When i was into mountainbiking (some years ago) the latest models of certain brands were the same price exactly from every dealer and yet Ford i think it was got fined for price fixing? Can anyone explain?

56 may be to heavy.

up to 45 ok but still a bit of an ache.

look at these superlite poles at that height.

That's interesting.  Facelift quoted me over a grand (incl. VAT) for their 44ft carbon pole.  I bought an SL2 from you instead (well I bought it from Ess. Pure but it was from you originally).
