We currently use a 27ft CLX all day.

The clamps are becoming an issue, seriously warn n loose.

Are these clamping kits still the way forward from Gardiners?

Also, I want to buy a smaller pole for lower windows and cons etc?


Talk to me crew... and happy weekend

Get a slx 18 and a slx 25.

Awesome.

Get a slx 18 and a slx 25.

Awesome.

Not sure a SLX 25 would be high enough? We do alot of work that our current pole just reaches x

Slx 30 and a slx 18 then.

SLX 25 reaches as far if not further because it doesn't bend.

Cool 

So are SLX'S that much better than clx's ?

I use a CLX 18 for most of my work - the CLX 27 comes out for the odd 3 story window....

Thought the 27 was light till I bought the 18 - When finances allow I'll go full carbon...

On the plus side, apparently I've now got shoulders like 'Rocks' from using the 27 

Every cloud n all that .. and I'm 48 yrs old

They are a better pole as they are full carbon but going from a CLX to a SLX wont be as good as some
make out on here.
I went from a xtel to the CLX and wow what a difference, I then had to get myself a SLX partly because of
all the hype on here.
To be honest I didn't get the same buzz and found it fairly whippy over garage roofs and so on.
Its an SLX30 by the way.
To be honest I would stick to the CLX until you have the money to get an xtreme.

I have a CLX 27 and I was using a friends SLX 25 today and have to say I wasn't that amazed. Yes it was thinner and a bit firmer on full extend but it was much of a muchness really.

For 20 summat quid I would just get the smart clamps.

Do you really need a smaller pole? Mines fine for low work. Not exactly heavy really...

SeanK speaks the truth - I want at least a year out of my CLX's before I employ (then they can use it) and buy myself a lighter pole

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

Without sounding big headed, money for a pole isnt an issue... just want the best on the market.

[Jonny 87]

Mayb I'm the exception to the rule then.

I found going from clx to slx a massive jump.

If money us no issue then it should be an extreme you need to look at.

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

What are advantages with the Extreme?

[Jonny 87]

I've never owned one.

But from what I hear it's rigidity and lightness. But they do wear out quicker.

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

So should I just order the clamps then for my Clx 27?

[8weekly]

I found a large difference between an SLX and a CLX. I would never buy another CLX.

[Spursboy1972]

We only use SLX's  The only pole that is not an SLX in our vans is the modular superlite which I love.. Looked at an extreme but was reliably informed they are nowhere near as hard wearing as an slx

[wpclean]

Changing the clamps to the new style ones will make the pole feel like new again, I did it, and I am rubbish at DIY,so go for it, and recycle
