telescopic lances... what kind??
« on: July 07, 2012, 12:15:30 am »
hi, looking into a new telescopic lance as my 7.3 meter 'giraffe' has fell to bits after 2 years of using it on the odd occasion. was wondering what you guys use or recommend? i thought about tranfering my hose/gun/etc to a carbon wfp and using that but the omni power pole has caught my eye which is totally alluminium and looks to be good. i want a strong, light, durable one that is at least 7 metres (24 foot)... I will mainly be using it for cleaning the outside of gutters and cladding and will be using it with a small fsc on cladding...
any advice welcome...
Thanks
Lee  :P

I have this one with belt kit etc.

Sounds like the one you've just had go on you.

Not sure carbon would make sense as any weight benefit wouldn't be all that noticable as the twin wire weighs how much on its own.

Don't you blast pooe everywhere using this for gutters?

i use it to clean the outside of gutters, i use a vacuum for the inside mate... I did try it to clean inside once and it was very messy, so bought myself a vacuum.
Yes mate, that is the same as mine that has just fell to bits, I have a budget of around £300 to spend on a new one so looking for something a bit better / lighter if i can

Keep your bits off your knackered one and make one with a wfp like I keep planning on doing. Trevor Perry's got a good one.

What pole did he use? does it have to be carbon? or could you use a alloy/fibre glass wfp?
I'm thinking aqbout that aswell
