Saj why do you have the hose dangling from the brush instead of through the pole itself or am i seeing the photo wrong??

To use the xtreme with extension sections the pole hose needs to be on the outside as the extension sections are modular.

You can use it with the hose inside with help but you need the push fit connections. Simply unplug the hose from the valve and thread through the extension if you are adding them from the bottom as you go. Otherwise it's the same as an ordinary telescopic when collapsed I'm sure? - or do they become pure modular after a certain height?

I used to do a job at 80ft in/out.
Out on day one, in on day 2.
After the first clean they were absolutely perfect. Every time.
That was hot water.
Building was city centre.

It's all about technique.

Some of it.
Other parts were regular windows on a brick skin building.
It takes some getting used to but a slight flick at base at the top the brush lifts off the glass and then you can move across.
Using it again next week on a job I do once a year. Always comes up great.
Come and have a go if you like?

Has anyone used the 'Reach-IT' poles for high work? would like your opinions on this pole. It is a telescopic/modular pole that can be used with pole inside for low work or outside for high work. I would like to know how heavy they are in comparison to gardiner max poles and SL2's and what they are like for rigidity. Like the idea of being able to use as high reach telescopic pole whilst being able to dismantle like a modular pole if its an extremely windy day and caught unaware by strength of gusty wind at the top of buildings as I've been caught out by the wind 3 times and waving or flying a kite at height can be scary at times whereas with a telescopic it's easier to collapse quickly if need be.

It looks worse than it is! ;D Technique &/or position can make any pole look either great or rubbish. However, no pole at 60ft is going to be a dream!!

Haven't got any ATM but using the 72' on Tuesday, I'll get one of the boys to take a few pics.
Tbh-looks about as whippy as the extreme but the handle circumference is much smaller and shorter collapsed length.

They quote 88ft-same as David St. Ives if memory serves?
What's an emporium pole?
Alex states 80ft with an extreme & extensions, bet one or two more would be fine in reality.
