Snapped my extreme 25 only 5 months old.

Top section snapped in half 

Doubt I would buy another it's quite worn on all sections already.

How did you snap it mate?


I’ve never snapped an xtreme pole, been using them for 4 years now and no problems.

Defo prefer the series 2 though, way less wear with the metal bands, and never a need to adjust the clamps as the metal bands never wear down!

Wish Alex would bring them back to be honest.

Never get grit issues with the series 2 either, due to the gap created by the metal bands.

I tell a lie it's 8 month old

Cleaning a conny roof from the ground, was putting a bit of pressure on it like but didn't expect that.

No big deal, I know they are fragile but thought would last a bit longer than it has tbh.

Will stick with slx in future they can take a beating

Fair play mate, these things happen.

Might be worth replacing that section anyway?

Give me a SLX over a Xtreme any day

Xtremes are for the fairys

A resemblance

It wasn't the gold diggers who made the most money during the Gold Rush in the 1800s

It was the manufacturers of tools... make them good but a shelf life is essential to keep diggers coming back time and time again.

just replace the top section with an old SLX section...im sure youll have one lying around somewhere....

i have 2 cobbled together 25 ft poles made up of SLX/xtreme sections....


its always the top sections (1,2,3 )that wear down quickly on the xtremes(paper thin in places)then they splinter or snap.....sections 4 and 5 last for years!

im inclined to agree with you these days mate,although you cant beat an xtreme pole for high level(over 30ft).i wouldnt use anything else at that height.....

My extreme 22 is 2 and half years old.

It gets used all day every day. I’ve never got less than 2 years out of an extreme before having to replace a section. I honestly don’t know what you guys are doing with your poles.

Same as me jonny, I don’t get it. I use mine everyday, I even shut windows with it.

Maybe it’s different techniques.

I tend to kind of ‘know’ when I’m pushing it a bit too far, but perhaps it’s just different styles of cleaning...

I can’t use an slx now, just feels so heavy and bendy. But they are deffo a better option for people who have broken xtreme poles, cos you ain’t gonna break an slx!
