THIS IS REALLY SIMPLE...As i try tell everyone about this but no one listens  : i was making a new harris up today cause after over a year mines pretty tired now. Still work just clamps slipping.

Heat the original plastic end up and as its melted screw it into the angle adaptor, or brush and it will make a thread to it. Like this

After this, making a hole and feeding the pole hose through, it takes about 5 mins to make one up...all for £15! No one can knock that!

sorry didn't catch that could you repeat that please

[LWC]

Here it is all fitted to my shiny new harris

[Steve CM]

once you've screwed it in and it hardens can you unscrew the angle adapter?

[LWC]

Yup, and there should be a thread there

[Tom White]

That's really clever, Sensai.

how big are these harris poles? what is closed length of them also?

[LWC]

17 ish feet i think, well theyre 5 meters, plus your reach.

Very nice closed length and light id say just over 5 1/2 foot closed.

[DaveG]

Ive always wondered what all the fuss was about with these poles, until I made one up for my son who started working for me about a month ago. All I can say is they are perfect for an every day pole (especially for a heavy handed git like my son!!)

[LWC]

Couldnt agree more, its not the best pole in the world, never claimed it is...but its light, rigid and £15. Dont know why anyone knocks them to be fair. Its all ive used for 2 or more years, been fantastic, and im only on my second one.

£30 in over 2 years? When i was spending £120 on a clx every 3 - 4 months as they kept splitting/snapping

Hi Matt

Do you mean the CL-X or the X-Tels?  The CL-X has only been out for 11 months so if you've only been using the Harris pole for two years I would imagine that you mean the X-Tels were splitting every 3-4 months.  Also, if you had been splitting CL-Xs every 3-4 months I would have heard about it as I would have considered this unacceptable.  I'm sure you can see why I'm asking!

surely the harris pole would slow you down a bit as they ve got twist clamps?17 ft would be too short for a lot of my domestics as there is invariably a conservatory or flat roof to reach over which would mean going back to the van for another pole.thus wasting time.

i have seen the poles in b and q but for me there not worth converting for my particular work.

[Tom White]

Twist clamps are quick; it's not a 'screw clamp', you just give one twist till it 'nips' (I dislike that word due to it's racist overtones  ); you don't have to keep on twisting it.  It's no faster or slower than any other type of clamp.

The Harris pole, for £15 is top notch.
