they are a light pole but the clamps are a bit iffy when tightening up, spinning when in use and hardwhen extending.
Are these the model 1 clamps that are hard work as i bought a clx22 6 months ago and its almost dead now...It'sthe first gardiners pole that I've bought, and I prefer it to any of the previous ones, Just wanna know if there's a way of prolonging the life of the pole without doing a full strip and wipedown at the end of each day.Regards, Simon
Hi alex the clx I have has been a nice light pole but the problem is when you extend the sections its either to loose or to tight you cant unlock. I have had it about a year or so so I cant complain much. cheers alan
I don't know what all this fuss is about with the Clamps. The ones on my CLX are just fine.. I fettled them until they were just right when i got the pole.. I had a section spin last week.... Shock horror I took 2 minutes to adjust all the clamps .... and off we go again... less moaning more working thats what I say... lol

The thing that does annoy me though is when the glue goes on them. But my new one was glued by the patron saint of window cleaning so I am expecting them never to go.

I've been using SLX poles since their very first release (must be 5/ 6 years now?) and in all that time I've had two clamps come loose. Both were jammed back on with the tape method and have never come loose since- so I've never even re-glued them!! Was looking at a brand new, one day old Ionics Glyder yesterday & I can tell you, they're not a patch on Gardiners!! The end piece/brush thread had come unstuck & fallen out of the end of the pole after 2 hours of use!! It was heavier, less rigid & just overall a poorer pole than the SLX!!The SLX is King of everyday poles!!
