Jeff,
You just have to post some pics on here and give out some info on the pole and where to obtain it!
Your post on Matt's DIY forum is intriguing.
The weight of the pole is so important, by the same token so is the 'business' end of the pole, with the weight of the gooseneck/brush/elbow joint being the most important as you get higher and working at awkward angles.

What is the rigidity of this ultra lightweight pole like?

What clamping system is used?

Pics are a prob broken camera, Brush heads a standard 28cm but I surformed all the plastic and use plastic jets etc the plastic Unger angle joint has been shortened 2" to keep the leverage weight down. All in it weighs 1lb2oz. The RSI probs will occur when using any weight at full stretch horizontally at a distance over roofs etc. paticulary when pressing down on the pole with the back hand. The leverage is considerable. Its designed to be used horizontally so rigidity is good. Wil have another think about pics, but its just a pole !

Gaz,

Pics come through nice and clear.

Cheque is in the envelope ready to post.

Sos for being a walley, (druged up on painkillers and Iburefen)But I take it the plastic section between the brush and the Residential gooseneck is the crank?

Nice chatting to you. All the best.
