What do you mean different, there's gas or diesel, what are you thinking about wood burning?
I'm quite interested in product development and i hope that at some point you set down the development of the slx. I notice quite a few of the big boy's are starting to copy.
When it first came out it was more or less proclaimed the best pole out there before it had even been launched. The combination of short closed length, lightness, and useabilty seemed so obvious.Since then you've given it a longer reach and new clamps. I understand the clamps if they are better, but why the longer lenght?
Was this a design decision, or a decision that this is where the market was? For a using all day pole I would favour the shorter one so that's why this puzzles me.
Compact size of the pole is the most important thing for me the fact that it`s now 30ft reach dosen`t really do it for me it`s the closed length.Anything over 25ft i use the modular as it`s so light,there is hardly any need for 30ft on domestics to be honest,i would much prefer 25ft but the same closed length as a 17ft Xtel only really light.
Sorry Ian, I would have replied by email, but slumpbuster hasn't got one on his profile. The new pole is actually 2" shorter than the old one when closed, so is actually more usable. What it means is that you have the choice to leave all sections on and reach 35ft (which is what I wanted for some jobs I do) or take some off if you do not need to - 2 poles for the price of one!
Alex,
Out of the duel trim brushes you sell, which is best... the hard one or the fluffy one....
Cheers.
As the mono-fil may possibly be like a bentley, and i dont think they have as much scrubbing power,
what do you think alex.?
They are both good for different jobs/styles.
Simply put the flocked version works the glass slightly faster and more easily and is great for regular cleans where rinsing on is not so important.
The mono-filament brush needs slightly more working over the glass, but will scrub harder when needed and is perfect for rinsing on the glass.
In my opinion the Vikan sill brush is far too heavy at over half a kilo for serious use (I await the protests
) and I already know of several people who used them regularly for several years and have had to stop due to RSI type ailments.
