Tucker. I've busted universal, extender, multipole, fishing pole superlights etc.
Tucker pole from usa cost the same in dollars as in pounds here, so for the price of a new predator you could have an 18ft( called the 20ft cos of the reach) tucker with the best brush and option to use soap for first cleans etc.

www.squeegees.net  - remember, it's more than half price because there's no vat in usa. the price difference is huge and they are tough, they weigh about the same as a universal at 18ft - but higher they start to weigh a lot less than universal poles.

but higher they start to weigh a lot less than universal poles.

They also bend a lot more at height.

[Count Phil]

don't buy a high one. Carbon for high, tucker for low. More low stuff so tougher pole.

5 months! you were lucky, my predator only lasted 4 months they are rubbish, and so is the customer care from brodex!

[Ian Lancaster]

What happened to it?  I've got an 18' and I've had it since November.  Only problem so far, the top clamp doesn't grip anymore.  Solution? - cut a slice of each of the cheeks of the clamp so it closes down further and grips.

When it starts slipping again I'll make up a steel collar to fit round the clamp with a steel cam on it - that will make the b****r grip.

The plus is that it's light - I use it on everything, no need for a short pole for ground floors.

Cheers,

Ian

Ian, the pole snapped in half, both the clamps came away from the pole, and brodex were no help at all.

Yep, and its still cheaper and you often get away with it. Sometimes they just deliver and say nothing. Take the chance.

Can you get an 18ft facelift ? and if so is it lighter than an 18ft extender, even though i do find the extender to be light i am still suffering with my aches in the  middle of my arm or is there another pole that is lighter.
