I totally agree with what you said and for £550 it is a bargain, I've seen the same kind of thing for £1500
. Anything that you build yourself is going to be cheaper of course.
In the time that I have been using a wfp pole system I have come across various jobs that cannot not be done with a trolley or it takes so long to do that it becomes uneconomical to do.
I have found that if you had that extra bit of kit, would it earn me more money? YES, in less time? YES and would it cost a lot to get? NO.
My system I have found does all of these things quite well and is still cheaper than any other purposefully built machine.
No doubt when people see what mine looks like and what it does, then they will go and build a copy for themself.
I hope that they can improve on what I have done, so that we all can benefit.
But some people don't want to go down the diy route with all the problems it can create, instead they want a system that they can order one day, have it delivered and be trained the next day and be earning the day after.
With my system all of the above is possible.
