21 ft X-Tel Fibre Glass Pole

Has any1 got one of these if so what they like to work with all day? Are they heavy? Whats quality like?

Thanks
Andy

Used one of these for about 8 months, fairly easy to work with all day as they are light. When used at full extension they are quite flexible particularly when used with a heavy brush.

Forget the 30 ft.

Like a pig on a stick.

I have the 30ft.

Great bit of kit. Use the whip at full extention to my advantage.
Good investment for a lower budget pole.

If I was getting a new pole I would go for a stiffer one.

Nex one I buy will be Alex Gardeners.

I've been using one, it's a vast improvement over the old exel - i managed about half a dozen jobs with that! Nice slim pole pretty light far better than an extender, bit whippy but  better with a light brush, i reckon you could use it all day if you needed to.

theyre a bit whippy fully extended, but I tend to use it with the top three sections only half way past the clamps and its as good as gold

The 17ft version is a better pole.

21ft .. great pole, i work with it all day, i use a vikan 12" and its superb,

gets 99..9% of all windows over conservatories, and whips straight down to 5ft , so i do all downstairs too,

and it fits perfect in my van....


I  also have tried it with a lightweight bentley brush but it was far too light with that,

i find a bit of weight on the brush helps, regarding contact on glass.

[geefree]

dont forget to get it from gardiners... 80 odd quid

oh is that a commission plug ..

I bet Window cleaning warehouse is cheaper ?

21ft .. dont see that one at the above store. only 18 ft and they are the same price as my 21ft from gardiners..

[Moderator David@stives]

At WCW the brush is included.

At gardiners it isnt

[geefree]

yes but i cant see them lol... unless its the 21ft... at £109 therefore more expensive.

the excell pole with WCW is acualy manufactured foe Unger (at least now it is, the pole is gren instead of grey.  you also have microbore through the pole and angle adapter)
