[M & C Window Cleaning]

The top section of my 18' pole is quite free when unlocked. I was collapsing the pole rather vigorously  the other day and cut the hose that feeds the brush almost in half with the clamp.

Anyone else had this problem?

You don't know your own strength. 

I've never done that.

I snapped a gooseneck completely in half on my Tucker WF pole today trying to close a bl**dy stiff open window. Had the pole about 4 years and am always pushing any stiff open windows shut with it. It's taken so much abuse that I wasn't surprised to be honest.
Wouldn't dream of trying to shut any stiff windows if using carbon poles as I once learnt the costly way and had to replace a broken pole section at over £100 quid a section.
