The owner in the video. The pole he showed was an Ionics Glyder. When shown the Reach-It pole he said it was such a good idea about the hose outside the pole and the sections come apart.

The Glyder can have the hose outside the pole, der...., and the sections come apart, der.....

The end cap on the Ionics pole that he made such an issue about, if he'd have phoned up Ionics they would have sent out a new one free of charge. He could also have bought new sections individually and probably got replacement clamps free of charge as well.

Why did he use tape to stick the clamps on? Glue is simpler and works better. It's not rocket science.

I'm not a particular fan of Ionics by a long way and I don't like to be critical but why do I get the feeling this was pretty much a staged event to promote and advertise Reach-It poles.


They paid the guy to say all those things  ;D ;D

I don't know if that is the case but if it is.....

Either way, to present a video as one thing when it's for a different reason lacks honestly.

Almost all the things the first guys complained about was laughable , You can take sections off and only need one pole  ???  , I can do that with my SLX

What's the crack with Wolverine he will replace anything in the first 3 years he will be out of business . :P

You get these bigger cleaning companies who go to Ionics and get ripped off , If you were to mention Gardiners and SLX in the same sentence I pretty certain they would have a bemused look on their faces and have no clue what you were talking about .

Someone do them a kindness and show the poor buggers the light , Or maybe not not it might just be to much for them to handle . :P

I prefer the rubber ones.
With the metal ones, if you catch something (like a car ;D) it'll scrape it.
Rubber-you've got half a chance.

That was subtle. I had to read it twice to make sure of that.  ;D

I'm all for a company promoting their own stuff. There's nothing wrong in that.

Alex Gardiner does that perfectly and I've never read or seen a video where he puts down another company so blatantly, or at all, and in any way that I'd call unscrupulous or any thing near it. He present his products exactly as they are with no reference, either blatant or subtle, to any other company or anything. Gardiner poles sells by reputation and quality plus incredible after sales service, all of which have been built up over time, and not by cheap advertising ploys.

The tittle was Reach -It UK Tour, yes, that's true, but I was not expecting what I watched. Very few company's make it by not so subtle slagging off of another company's product as the main thrust of their sales pitch and in a way that I personally consider dubious or economical with the truth about the other company's product.

For myself, I wouldn't now touch Reach-It poles with the proverbial barge pole and if what's his name and Lee Burbidge don't like that comment, take me to court for libel.

Had the video been purely about Reach-It poles and the pluses for using them, I may have given it some thought. Not now though. I don't know why but the word 'integrity' springs to mind.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

All Burbidge videos are laughable and are not to be taken seriously....he mainly does them as a self promoting ego boost.

He's a complete joke.

The beginning went on a bit. I expected it to say "once upon a time in a galaxy far far away......."
