Mine is a 35ft extel.

The reason is the lenght because most of my work  goes beyond 30ft and I hate changing poles half way for shorter work.



 

17ft extel for most domestic work as I started trad and had mostly 2s houses

How long have you had the SL-X ?

[Dave Turley]

25' slx, love it! had it 6 months

I hope alex has a much bigger production run next time so more of you  get a chance of using one

The Harris Pole is the number one pole for me!!!!! 

[karygate]

harris pole for me. got through two in 8 months but thats at a cost of 30 quid and its great to work with , and can be chucked about all over the place unlike my carbon pole . and it can handle a vikan brush which most other diy cannot (including my 40ft fishing one) without looking like a gnomes fishing rod

That's the best thing about them, they will take the knocks, and at £15 you never have to worry.

Since July, was from the first production run, the 25ft one, never had any problems.

haris for me  

[wizclean]

no one like tucker poles then?
 i prefer them from any glass fibre, rigid and lightweight 25 ft for me. trying universal carbon fibre from ionics at the mo and they are good to but will see how long they last. cant stand working with wippy poles makes life harder.

[ROBERT GEDDES]

mine is a cut down 24 ionics so it fits in to my van got it it of an other window cleaner who wrecked it so cut it down and repaired it you cannot do that with many other poles, the pole is about four year old ,and is nice and riged great for cleanig other poles are a 24 ft brodex alu pole and then a 45 ft stream pole with a gardener brushes on

My favourite use to be SL-X but wears and slips too quick and clamps fiddly. Prefer Facelift pole up to 44ft and X-Tel hybrid for domestic work because of simplistic clamps.

[paulscotney]

Gangster is best then F16 for high jobs. Before that I used Harris. But fishing poles are sooo light.

[jsm]

13ft extel with gooseneck on , super light and small , used 90% of the time

18fts extender if got to reach over consevatory etc , used 2%

F16 >>>  this is the pole ...... super light and stiff used about 8% month

24 green universal getting on a bit now - stays in the van - tho cant bin it as it was my first pole .... fitted with salom brush , cant lift it lol - how we come on a ?

[Ian Lancaster]

For me my Harris 

We use Cleantech 6m.  Bit more expensive (about 40-pounds) but got that bit more reach and you can replace the locking clamps (one pound fifty each) so they last forever.

[Dennis-Taylor]

Can some one tell me what a Harris pole is please, i've never heard of them before.

It's a decorators aluminium extendable pole sold in B&Q's bigger stores for £15.00 it's an absolute bargain and easy enough to convert for our needs.

Hi Dennis

Like ftp says, it's an aluminium 3-part extending pole with screw type locking clamps.  If you put a compatible end cone on it, run a hose up the middle and attach a brush you've got a perfectly serviceable WFP for less than £40.

We use Cleantech poles all the time - they're a bit stronger, a bit longer and you can replace the locking clamps when they start to wear out.  For an 'everyday' domestic property pole you can't beat them
