[Mr.G]

Can anyone recommend a 28-30 foot pole that
A  collapses to less than 6 foot total
B  has proper "stops" so the sections can't come apart in use
C  doesn't leave your hands black

I'm replacing me Brodex scaffold pole, and want to be rid of the above features!
Thanks in advance.

Is that you, Alex?

[Mr.G]

Alex?  No!

[G Griffin]

I was joking that Alex Gardiner had resorted to underhanded advertising  . And you are Mr.G, as well.
Have a look at Gardiner's poles. The Phoenix poles, maybe? 

[Mr.G]

Ok, I'll have a look. thanks!

Maybe Alex will give me a free pole for advertising then?  lol

[G Griffin]

Worth a try.
Hope you get sorted  .

all carbon poles will leave your hands black if you dont use gloves.

buy a 30ft SLX if you want a quality,light,rigid pole and wear gloves.

[Mr.G]

Thanks for the replies!
I was thinking more along the lines of a fibreglass-carbon hybrid pole, are they any good? with regard to stiffness? and black hands!

THE NEW SLX IS DIFFERENT CARBON TO THE OLD STYLE, SO HASNT MADE MY HANDS BLACK YET, ONLY HAD IT ONE DAY THOUGH SO TIME WILL TELL  IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT WILL THOUGH

if you're thinking of a hybrid I'd go for a gardiners clx 27

[Mr.G]

Graham does that one have stops on the sections?

[Lee GLS]

All gardiner poles have stops on them, saying that, they can be added to the facelift poles if you want them.

[Mr.G]

just had a look at it on their site, seems to be just the job. Cheers!

[dazmond]

mr G if you have a fair bit of high work with your pole fully extended then the SLX 25 or 30 would be the better option if your finances will stretch.the clx 27 bends like a banana at full stretch even with a light brush.

full carbon poles are the way to go if you take your business seriously.they are FAR BETTER than any hybrid pole.

agree with dazmond, the slx will make your hands black, but you have a shower at night dont you
