Hi Spruce,

If that's the same as one I tried years ago, it's absolute rubbish  The alloy screw is hollow and made of extremely thin alloy and attached to the plastic by prongs of alloy crimped through - the one I tried fell off as I was trying to screw the gooseneck on to it.

The Gardiners one is solid alloy and is a fairly good fit in the Unger pole, we just drill and put a retaining bolt and nut through the end of the pole and the neck of the pole end screw.

Then we drill a hole on the skew into the top of the pole so we can draw the pole hose through.

Thanks anyway,

Ian

It is the very one. We used them for years without issue although I must admit, the end cap wasn't very robust.

I didn't realise the Gardiner alloy adapter fitted that easily. We still use the Teleplus pole from time to time as it works nicely on Juliet Balconies as the ali pole has a nice flex. We also have other adaptors so can be used for high level trad work and I have a scrapper for removing those solid bird strikes that the edge of the brush won't do.

No chance are Brodex poles better than Facelift IMO.

The Facelift poles I have used have been excellent - the only issue I had with them was that they were not supplied with a brush, pushing the price too high.

the best residential pole ive ever used and owned.even better than the SLX poles is an extreme 25 with AD,carbon 10in 55 degree gooseneck and extreme brush.

this pole is simply awesome and is used nearly all day every day.no other pole comes close in rigidity and ease of use.

i know a few of you would recommend an 18 ft version of this pole but it d come up short on lots of my work,same with the 22 footer.too short.25 ft is just right.

i lacquered it this morning after giving it a good flush out with water.great tip by a guy on here.i reckon it will last me years.

the slx 22 is a good cheaper pole.i have one but its redundant since i bought a few extremes and came up short on some work which left me having to go back to the van for a longer pole wasting time.

Tongue in cheek! Although it's still brodex in front!

If you can get to 50 you could get to 80 couldn't you.
All bases covered, if the need arises.

We yeah i could, but i wouldn't. If we are doing high work then we start off with a 47ft extreme.

We have the extreme extensions but not the HS extensions. So at the moment cut off is around 60ft. Tbh 50ft is fine for me, any more and its just not fun

we use slx 22 for most daily work but carry slx35, extr 35 and extr 47

[bobplum]

SLX35, broken down into sections, used mainly as a slx22 and then re built for jobs as and when needed also carry a clx18 in the van in case of problems with the slx
