[dazmond]

ive got one and ive had it 2 weeks!i changed the pole hose and put a supalite brush on the end.seems fine but clamps seem a bit flimsy!

have you been cleaning it out regularly?and clean the pole hose at the end of your working day?

hi dazmond  i  dont know whats the best pole to buy , but im not going for one of them again it s not the one for me.
ive sent gardiners an email see what he comes up with?

[dazmond]

better phone gardiners and order  a slx or clx.you ll have to wait a bit for it though.

im hoping i get a year at least out of mine!i think some guys have had theirs for years!!

i suppose it depends on how often and whether you take care of it!

if its jammin it prob just needs a good flush out with water and maybe a few new clamps gluing on then itll be like a brand new pole!!

Had the 7, 18 & 25 for about 4 months now.

I've araldited the clamps on, changed the hose on the 18 & 7 and stuck a new brush on my 18.

Perfect now !

[ccmids]

can you buy alloy clamps or something stronger maybe thats what i should do replace all the clamps

[chopsie]

I can't see the slx being any better for you unless it gets cleaned regularly (which i don't!) But i have same issues with the slx, poles jamming, clamps snapped (Been ok for a while though) and worse of all BLACK HANDS  
But saying all that I love it and will be buying another one when this one knackered (unless something better turns up).
If i cleaned it regularly it would obviously stop the jamming, as i assume it would with your brodex?

ccmids mines a hydra alloy and their pretty rigid!a lot better than glass fibre!i used my 20ft n tech g/f for 2 weeks and has now become my spare pole!its just too bendy over connys etc!

[ccmids]

mine was jamming in the first week , i think its the way the pole was molded

im going for alloy next as long as they are not too heavy

[Blue Frog Systems]

Give you a tenner for it ccmids ? Or swop for a 12" wagtail orbital

[ccmids]

whats a wagtail orbital? sounds like a sander

[Central Window Cleaners]

If you contact brodex they will ship you a replacement pole. I have had the same problem with the two I bought and they have already replaced one of them

[ccmids]

after 4 and a half months

[lyndy]

You get 3 years

Lets hope so Lyndy , i ordered the 25 , 18 , and 7 footer yesterday !
Got them for £250 all in , and they are putting the microbore EZ Snaps on them too , thats £24 alone , bargain

Yes they replaced mine no questions asked, they were 6mths old. Spoke to one of their guys at one of the shows and he said just phone up and they will ship a new bare pole out.

Shame they don't just use better clamps surely it would be much cheap in the long run than keep sending out new poles every few months.
