Those of you that use the above, is there massive difference to the alloy poles?

With the imminent trouble with my shoulders, im looking to go as light and comfortable as possible, So is the big price worth the difference???

It's not just the dry weight of the two either it's the balance.. 20ft alloy poles 4.6kg holding it vertical but try holding them over con roofs and this 4.6kg is more like 12kg in weight..

Of course there not gonna last like alloy ones but they will last alot longer than you'd think.. Properly done 10 to 15 jobs so far and there fine..
Guttersucker ones I have Mick.
Might be able to refurb the wear to the joining sections as and when they go.
