Extreme if you've got the money - faster and more versatile.

you can use it as a gutter vac aswell :)

not seen the extreme so can't comment on that, but if it is new then I guess it will be good as Alex at Gardiners tends to do good poles and betters each one as he goes along.

i like the eliete pole from the wfp company

http://www.thewaterfedpolecompany.co.uk/

reason being....

the longest pole we require is 50ft...but hardly need it anywhere else

the elite pole comes apart, with every section insulated

so the rest of the time, i use the pole with 4-5 sections taken off

this way, one pole suits all heights

I agree with James , I`ve had the same pole , for 6 weeks now ,, no problems what so ever , super light brush .
Fantastic service from Adam, he even repaired my now retired pole , and knowing i can extend the pole if i wish is a bonus .

They are well worth a look .

Ten foot extensions? not sure they would be very easy to use?

How much do they weigh and what's the actual reach?

Why that piece of metal poking out?

Are Facelifts High Modulus now?

ClearVue Solutions pole's come apart in a few seconds if you loosen the clamp

http://www.clearvuesolutions.co.uk/reachitxt.html

the carbon fibre pole look to be better quality than Elite any other comparisons mentioned so far. ClearVue poles are better quality than Facelift poles and Facelift is much better quality than Gardiners

They cost just a bit more than the Elite Poles, but I do think you get far more for your money

They also weigh a TONNE!!!!  :-\

Super Lite Xtreme from Gardiners - there really is nothing else to compare them with.

Hey,

I haven't put any promo stuff on here about us as I've been told off before. So any good comments about us are from our customers only...I'd just wanted to point that out firstly.

The XT is 5ft when closed and extends 10ft giving either your Pro or Mini that extra reach without the need to buy a whole new pole.

It weighs just 550g and is made from real High Modulus carbon fibre.

I have found out that poles dont need to be made solely of HM carbon fibre to be called a 'carbon fibre pole'. It can be fibre glass and then wrapped in carbon fibre. So its cheap and doesn't give the longevity that all true carbon fibre poles should have.

If anyone has used our poles, feel free to comment or if anyone has a question regarding any products, just drop me an email or give me a call, I'm more than happy to have a chat.

Here's me using the xtreme and you can see I'm no hulk..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy3I3lQmcZw&list=LL6mR7Qmjk_MvpVsgFUUA8Sw&feature=mh_lolz

It's very light pole and easy to work with.

And on the plus side.. you could get extension to take it up to 78ft ;D

Gardiners superlite modular cant imagine theres a better 57 ft pole.
Ive had mine about 2 years.Can work all day with it.
It cost over £1000 but has paid for itself a few times over.
