I ended up buying the extreme 45ft with the X2 extensions. I wanted the 55ft but they wasn't in stock so the girl at Gardiners said the 45 ft with the X2 extensions there's no difference. It was slightly heavier than I thought it would be but a fair bit lighter than my other 47ft pole. On this 45ft pole with the 2 extensions out on the pole doesn't go together and is leaving about 4/5 inches to reach up to extend the pole which I have to stretch abit, now does the 55ft pole have this or is that pole all together as them 5 inches does make a difference as it's taking over 6ft to extend it which I hate using it. My 47ft pole I think was around 4ft sections easy to extend but just couldn't reach some jobs and was slightly heavy hence I bought this one.
So are the 45ft with X2 ext the same as the 55ft with no extensions my question is.
Thanks for all feedback.
Hi dannymack
I will try to help to clarify this pole arrangement for you.
We do not sell an Xtreme45 pole - we do however sell a Super-Max45 pole. Is it this pole that you have bought? To get this pole to 55ft you probably have then bought the Super-Max #9 extension which turns it into a Super-Max50 which is the other size Super-Max pole that we sell (not 55ft). These poles are then virtually identical.
To get to 55ft you have then bought a Gardiner Modular #10 Extension Section. This slides on to the base of either the 45 with extension or the 50 and makes the pole 1 section longer. On both poles it will leave a slight gap between the #9 and the #10 clamp as this extension section is also designed to fit onto other poles.
To answer your summing up question -
So are the 45ft with X2 ext the same as the 55ft with no extensions my question is. There is no 55ft pole so it cannot be the same as it. There is a 50ft pole though and this is the same as the 45ft pole with 1x extension and then both are the same with a #10 modular extension fitted.
