just ordered an EXTREME 47
« on: July 06, 2013, 05:09:12 pm »
after giving it much thought and consideration ive decided to buy an EXTREME 47.ive also ordered a 90 degree gooseneck and all the quick loc fittings to upgrade my brushes and goosenecks.

ive been struggling to be honest with cleaning solar panels and velux windows on both my commercial and domestic accounts using my 40 ft supermax.the main problem im having with this pole is the rigidity is not very good when on angles.it also feels very heavy and its straining my shoulders and arms even though im a big lad.i dread using it for these jobs! ;D ;D ;D

im hoping the EXTREME is a vast improvement and will cut down strain to a minimum.the extra 7 foot should come in handy as well!

so to those guys that have got this pole,are you happy with it? ;D ;D ;D

im hoping alex sends me a new cap as well as my old one is a bit worn now!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

best wishes to you all

mike im happy with george mate.PDA is great now ive sorted the bluetooth sync! ;D ;D ;D

i have got  a HTC smartphone but i dont want my work on it.i prefer to have my separate PDA.

yes ive spent a lot on poles but i work hard and im earning a lot more money than i used to.im also getting more and more bigger jobs.both domestic and commercial,solar panel cleaning etc.

the 40 ft supermax wont get used when i get the extreme! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


best wishes

ive not decided what im doing with my supermax yet ben.i might keep it as a spare or sell it cheap to a fellow windy i know whos struggling a bit.i gave him a 25 ft hydra then sold him a clx 22 for £40.he s not in the best of shape and uses a backpack for his work.it just might give him a push to go and find some better work.

the main reason ive bought this pole is this.i find it no problem using 22 and 25ft SLXs day in/day out for lots of work with very little strain but as soon as i start cleaning anything higher using the supermax i really feel the strain on my shoulders and arms.

i dont want to get RSI as i work on my own with an increasing workload/higher/awkward jobs so this is the final pole in my arsenal.

looking at some of the pics of other guys using extreme poles at height sealed it for me! ;D ;D ;D

I agree daz.i had the supermax and using on big commercials i found heavy and whippy and after 4 or 5 hours on the glass my crook neck felt it.

windiewasher no aqua-daptor at this height mate!pole tap!as for goosenecks its a range of carbon ones.im also upgrading to the quick loc system for changing brushes quickly.ive ordered a 90 degree gooseneck specifically for cleaning solar panels and conny roofs.

ive also ordered the new gardiner PU pole hose which is similar to aqua-daptor hose(hopefully!) ;D ;D ;D

Aquadapter hose is great.i use it as shoe laces as the knots are great  ;D
I like the quicklock for the brushes.
Which goosneck do you prefer?

Got the 25' extreme couple weeks ago,

most noticeable thing was how rigid it is,big difference over 25'slx IMO.

Made mistake of getting the yellow pvc hose,nip hose to stop flow and like the hose but not so good for this.

The length of PU hose that came with the gooseneck is PU and seems to work very well at stopping flow,so will be on my next order,

so a wee tip for anyone who nips hose try the hot water PU one ;)

So great pole and very rigid.
