Never heard the poles move at all though i reckon they roll a little when your turningAdvantage of the slx is the weight over the clx - also the higher you go the straighter the slx is compared to the slxI use my clx now only for fascia cleans as the bend in it can be usefull - i dont like the bend though when im using it - spoilt with the slx now
S.W.C nice clean van it looks really good i see you have the trusty beer crate i used to use one when trad with only been 5ft 2" it was ideal when doing windows on top of bays and downstairs windows made things alot faster . Mike
