I use a 18ft for most of my daily work and I have a 30ft for above any conservatories and so on.
To be honest I would rather pull the 30 footer out now and again than work all day with a longer pole
than needed.

I started with a slx30 but bought a slx22 base section. The 30 gives you enough length to reach comfortably over a conny as I found the 22 just a bit too short - I was working at full stretch too much. Most of the time I drop the last couple of sections and stick the 22 base on for a lighter, more user-friendly pole. It's a cheap way of having two poles.
The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

my answers NO!simply because it doesnt on around 40-50 of my accounts.i have to use a 25 footer just to reach first floor windows on some!

if you have sloping ground below the extension/conny then you ll struggle.only you know your work(or should do!).

price higher/work harder!

i couldnt be bothered with that.

25 ft main pole gets most work then a separate high level for other work(47 ft).saves time and faffing about.

Why an earth would you buy an extra section to replace a section that you already have , You just simply remove an add sections as and when needed , Thats what i do i use a 22ft for most of work no point over straining .
