I use an Extreme "20" - yes I know that they aren't listed by Gardiners - but this is the best one for me getting a cross between lightness and length.

I also carry an Extreme 25 and an Extreme 47 (which is now about an Extreme 44 due to breakages  ;D)
It's a game of three halves!

SLX 25 for everyday use and a mix between an Extreme and SLX 55, of which I have 2. One for windows and the other for roofs/solar panels.

Are you trying to set a record for the longest title? 😀

Ova-8 - 24 ft - good all round pole - tough and not too heavy and will reach 3rd storey windows - allows the guys to clean 99% of the work without faffing to another pole - essential when employing 😆

A pair of SLX-22, one with an extension.

Does nearly everything.

Extreme 18 for 95% with an slx extension to 25 when needed.
I stopped doing anything really high a couple of years ago.

Slx 25 for everything, I recently bought an slx 22 but it’s a pain swapping it every other job back to the slx 25 because it’s too short! I have a lot of houses with conservatory’s , orangerys , extensions & 3 storey work mixed in with bungalows and your regular semis .

Just grab the one you need no faff

SLX 35 for me. I know you aren't supposed to but I just pull out the minimum number of sections I'll need, so sometimes its a 15', 20', 25', 30' or 35' !

Might try a SLX 27 next time, I much prefer the shorter sections.

SLX22 for me...

I used to use the 25 but the 22 gets to 95% of my work and i much prefer the shorter closed length and its a bit lighter.

18ft nano covers 95% of my round so ergonomically seems daft to carry anything bigger. 30ft slx takes care of the rest.

Good question!

Each of my vans has the following three poles:

SLX18 - everyday pole
SLX25 - town houses and over conservatory
SLX39 - roof skylights and solar panels

Some of the guys use the SLX25 as the everyday pole, but I prefer them to use the SLX18 if possible as its less draining on the body

Extreme 30’

It’s actually a 25’ xtreme with an SLX extension section.

Xtreme 47 reduced down to 3 sections for standard houses, adding sections as and when needed depending on height.

The last pole I bought was a clx4
Got it to do some ground floor work.
How easy would it be if I only needed this pole for 95% of my work  :D
