Please make it clear. Brodex
« on: January 31, 2012, 08:38:32 pm »
Are you guys being serious,
Seriously are other poles that much better than brodex.?

I've had all brodex poles and over 2years down the line they still are working fine, don't get me wrong, I've tightened the clamps around 4 or 5 times and make sure I give them a good clean once a month, but we have up to 45 ft from them and they are doing a good job.

For the price I'd rather pay 100 pound and know what I got than take a gamble on say 650 pound, plus brodex do send out faulty goods with out that much hardship.

If there were another pole what would it be please, all this slx I don't get it, what company r they, I've never needed to look else where so excuse the might be obvious.

Thanks

Are you having a laugh i have got both a 36ft brodex alloy pole and a slx25 pole gardiners pole wins hands down every time

gardiners pole =  easy release clamps, light weight and stiff

brodex pole = awkward clamps, heavy for all day use and flopy as hell

Where do you live? on the moon?

36ft brodex alloy pole is rubbish and so heavy. I bought one at £99( excl vat), it is still too expensive.
How can you do a good job with this kind of pole? ??? you can't!
Gardiner poles are the best, not the cheapest but so good!

When I went to buy my slx 30 I wanted to see it and have a feel before parting with a large ammount of cash. I kid you not, they had to pry it out of my hands so they could put a brush on it. There was no way I was going to leave without it.

if it is dirty it is fair game

Out on the tools today with our new Gardiners pole(arrived yesterday)

Good bit of kit and used on every job
Got home fresh as a daisy rather than feeling like i've wrestled a telgraph pole all day
Will,in due course,be switching all our poles over

Hope that helps

Wor Lass is about 5 foot 1 inches tall and eight stone wet, and she can use a SLX 18 foot pole no problems; and she says she feels fresh after a days work (but that's probably 'cos she's a skiver too).

The SLX is a good pole.

mate, if you got an slx,  you will wonder how you managed with the brodex pole for so long, it is a no brainer. Brodex are big heavy lumps, the slx is so much more superior to anything brodex offer.

best poles on the market are gardiners mate, if you want to see a great difference try a clx 18 for cheap first even they are amazingly good poles
