arrived today so coupled it up to my vac and wow they are so much lighter than alu poles its unreal.

just need to change the end tools to a lighter format and im all sorted on the vac front.

3000watt hoover ,3 motor switchable with 50mm inlet
5 mtrs of 50mm hose
3 x gutterlites (gardners) 3 poles are as good as the same weight as 1 alu pole and a u tool
bits and bobs of silicone hoses and jubilees = pennies in comparison

gonna buy exactly the same for 2nd van now i have got it right.
plus i got 4 jobs to do from tomorrow on gutters. = result









and a pic of my other van im gonna kit out with this vac setup



buy right = buy once.

I have the old Clarke 30 gutter vac system, the diameter of my hose and pipes looks twice the size of yours, so my question is- do you get a lot of blockages..?  as it does look good

You will find his poles are the same diameter as yours and the hose looks like 50mm too.
Few good reasons why your getting blocked gear mate,
the 1st is poor suction from your vac due to age also check your filters are clean, I use a 1400 vac and it has never blocked once yet you can get away with a 1400w vac upto 20ft anything 3rd story you might wanna bigger vacuum.
Also cleaning your pole and hoses after each clean is very important part of performance.
Drop the nozzle in a bucket of water and switch the vac on and it will flush everything out of your pole and hose making it clean and light weight again as tiles dust will clog even the biggest diameter hoses..
Hope this helps... Rob!!

Any idea how long the sections are Carl?? im using Omni Alu poles at the mo and want to swap to CF. Started to look for them but couldnt find them sold seperately on the grippa site or gardiners (maybe im blind). Like the angle on the end adaptor.
Did they come with clamps for each section?Be interested to hear how you get on with them after your next few jobs!

fella is on here on the hard floor cleaning side,
he imported mine with a 50mm inlet whilst i was there.
took 5 days to arrive and was £430 if i remember correctly.

he uses these to suck up floor grinding slurry etc so are more than up to the job.

just over 6ft long each section.

used them today on a 5 bed and it was a breeze with the lighter poles

yes they look nice, do you think they are much better than your poles from gutter sucker?

[Carl@Cwc]

they are alexs modular poles but he supplies them direct to grippatank.

in my honest opinion ,if u do this work a lot you would be mad not to buy them.
they are so light and rigid and they were for me a bit like when i first got an slx22

why the hell didnt i buy these ages ago.

they look really nice, how high can you comforatably work with these? i've got 28' of 50mm alloy poles but find 24' is about as high as i can manage to use them with ease.

well my alu poles were over a kilo each these weigh 340grams i think .
so if i needed to i could manage  60 ft i reckon.

ive used 4 alu poles and end gear which equates to about 4.5kg
