Gardiners New Quick-Release Top Clamp System
« on: December 28, 2010, 12:10:20 pm »
I was browsing Gardiner's website today,i realized he put a new video about goosenecks and quick brush change.Video is only 5 days old so i called it new.

Has anyone tried this quick brush change?

I've got it for my slx, will be fitting it this week. I got 10" carbon neck with 10" Xtreme brush.

It's a superb idea being able to change the whole head assembly in seconds with no hassle.

It really is a superb idea.

I have tried all sorts of heavy duty glues,even hot glue gun but they kept coming off and twisting.

I wonder,If i buy the clamp only,can i convert my Xtel to this  ;D

Can't afford an SLX at the moment  :(

The end clamp is fitted to a tube section of extra strong carbon fibre. This section is glued into the end of your pole.

He is selling the clamp bodies seperate but they start from section 2.I think i will need the clamp body for the section 1 to make quick head assembly change thingy.

Another good reason to buy SLX  ::)

Yep, the dia of the clamp stem would need to fit into the end pole section by either removing the original alloy thread end piece or cutting the end of the pole section. ;)

you can do the same with tecbuks short extension lightest avaliable
40 grams extra weight gives you a 12" reach
only cost about £5 with 8mm equal quick release and a bit of short hose

get all 3 extension for £17 and their far more versatile than a fixed gooseneck

Quick-Release Top Clamp System Fitted (+£4.00)

That's real bargain,just need to try for some time to see if it's better than fitting with adhesives.

never had any probs with brodex clamps after 12 months still going strong had to re-glue to pole section's  a few times even using araldite fusion they still end up coming loose , apart from that best clamp i have used

no mate
when i started wfp I first used a tucker pole
thought it was great, since then poles have got better
the brushes havnt changed in years
until the aerial brush, as far as i'm concerned
its the only proper wfp brush (what do you know)
the extension i will only use occasional on conser roofs
so their ideal fo less than £20 and you can add another for a few pounds  :P
