If anyone is unsure about getting 1 of these poles even more so if you do this type of work get 1 you will not be sorry and my lads think so too lol they love it compared to other poles just makes the day so much easyer compared to others.

Somebody posted a link for a site that enabled you to do it but I post pictures by first hosting them online and copying their address to this site. So in reality you are seeing a picture from another site, it doesnt actually get stored on Cleanitup. I use Picasa and Flickr

As regards to the brush I think its a swings and roundabouts thing, yes its only 11-12 inches but you have more stamina because its nice and light. Alex is going to bring out his new brush soon and that will be 12 inches I think but he may make a bigger one, I dont know. The Bentley brush sold with the sl2 isnt ideal but its alright. I will get Alexs new brush and if I dont like it ( which I very much doubt ) I will be going to use Tuckers converted with a thread plate, Luke

Daniel, if you want a bigger brush I reccomend going for the  18 inch Tucker



And gluing/screwing a thread plate onto it from a household broom ( usually the wooden ones ). Be warned the Tucker at that length is no lightweight but its the lightest option for a brush of that length, Luke

unless you do alot of commercial the 18inch is to big same as a trad blade, I used 12 and 18 the 18 seems to slow you doing dont know why but over all thats what I found

To say I loathed the bentley brush is an understatement. I took your advice and fitted a swivel thread plate to a Tucker brush for my supalite pole. Much better, it actually cleans the glass better with less scrubbing effort whilst keeping the weight at the top of the pole light.

Sorry to but in but do you know where I can get a Tucker brush from?  Without having to buy in to the system?

The new brush is 11", mono-filament, single trim and about 240g. We will be looking at 3 more variants soon though, a sill, a large, and a double trim

Tucker (Afd (UK)        Tel: 01256 844046

You have to adapt a gooseneck to fit the brush. Either fit a screw thread plate or use an Ionic's gooseneck on the end of your pole.
