Daz you are a very luck man to afford a new extreme pole I will never be able to afford it, My best comes in the form of a 3 year clx. Would you consider donating your old extreme to a worthy cause. The slappy happy can`t afford a extreme fund.
I thank you in anticipation. I am not joking.

i had to buy another one!ill just have to put up with my slx 22 until it arrives! ;D

for me they are worth it even though they dont last as long as other poles but the new ones have metal clamping bands so this might improve the wear a bit more.

i just love them.with all the work ive got these days its the easiest way to work IMO. :)

I agree with you Daz & your repetitive argument is correct & valid. ;)

I remember you starting wfp. You were told (by me & others) not to waste your money on crap poles (but you did, as most do). You soon realised the false economy of these inferior poles & worked your way up to the ultimate one. You've witness the benefits of using these poles & indeed you benefit everyday by doing so. As you know, your Xtreme, in reality costs you not a penny more over an slx, in fact it costs you less as the extra benefit it pays you over it's life is far greater than the monetary difference between the two.  ;)

I'd certainly like to buy one, however unlike some I spend a lot of my money on holidays/weekend breaks and personal possessions etc, me and be wife are off to New York in March, I decided it best to spend money on life not putting too much money back on work tools, id rather spend hard eanrned money on exploring the world and dining out more etc...

I would buy an xtreme, just not at the huge price, if it only lasts 18 months!!

I love my facelift poles, use them more than the slx2, 18ftis so so light (980g), and very very rigid, 25ft is also under 1400g, and half the price atleast of xtreme poles plus will last 2 years if looked after well...

So, whilst I'm sure xtreme poles are superb, I know they will not earn me more money, is still get the same amount of work done with my current poles, were probably talking minor differences in weight and rigidity in reality...

Why a TT and not a Skoda - both do the same thing.

Daz, are you sure you play the drums?

I've only seen you blowing a trumpet and that's your own!

One is more fun, plus Thats what the wife wanted...

They don't do the same thing, sit in a tt then sit in a skoda,

Then use an xtreme then use a facelift, - the difference there is negligable. A carbon pole is a carbon pole.

Plus I work to enjoy life, not to buy the best pole...

If it can be proven the xtreme would make me more money so be it, but that's not the case,

I've got a life outside window cleaning to enjoy! ;D

When I'm old, maybe I'll need an xtreme, but at 26, I'm fine with a facelift or other carbon pole

Happy new pole!

I can't fault extreme's, I love my 25 and 50ft
The metal bands are a great idea to prolong life.

Skoda's and TT's both go round corners and drive you to the shops.
Except if you buy a Skoda you could have more holidays if that's your thing.
However you can work faster with an Extreme to earn more money.
Or be home earlier which is my thing ;D

I used to use an old fibre glass pole.....bought a clx pole and noticed I was getting through more work and was less tired at the end of the day.

I then bought a slx pole and the same again, more work done in the day and less tired or sore shoulders after a hard long day.

I'm hoping it will be the same with the extreme. :)

I agree mate. Too many Gardiner fans here. They will never change. Just because Gardiner were the best, doesn't mean they will always be the best.
Skoda was rubbish now ok
Kia were rubbish now ok
Hyundai etc
They all drive from one place to another, but they arnt all made the same

In all honesty I can say the only thing that has made my day
more productive isn't a pole I bought but was losing weight and regaining
my strength and fitness and apart from a decent pair of trainers it has
cost me bugger all.
