I can't get my head around why guy's still buy different length poles  ???
How come you say a 25' would only be used 1 hour a day?


The collapsed length of an 18 or 22 is easier to use and handle, then a collapsed 25/35/47.
Used slx 25 for around 2 years as my everyday pole. Recently treated myself to slx 22 and it is so much nicer to use because of the shorter collapsed length, sure I get round a little quicker too.

Slx 25 still gets used weekly on a few jobs and it is always good to carry a spare pole.

I have a 25 and 35 on the van for my town houses and swap between a 22/25/35 all day long. Lightest, shortest pole at all times.

In the sales I bought another 18 as I know where I only need an 18.

Why use a longer pole than needed  ??? ???
in much the same way, why buy 3 poles if you can only use one at a time ?
if modded well, sections can be added or removed in less than 30 seconds, compare the minimum faff of that against the cost of 3 carbon fiber poles to just clean a pane of glass.

I would use the 25 on the front and a worker would use the 35 on the back. Due to the back having velux Windows and the front are dormas.
Yeah but
I work on my own,
If you have worker(s), that's a different story . ;)

Priced up 25ft extreame metal bands , £486 inc vat
New X3 is about £550 .

Their 300grams lighter than my 25ft slx , but I'd imagine more rigid .

Can't believe it's about £50 extra for the carbon necks .

Tempted , but I just can't bring myself to spend £500

These poles should include a carbon gooseneck IMO the 10 inch 1 should come as standard.

True 10" should be included .
I have broken 2 and 1 wasn't hardly touched . So I bought plastic as it pi55ed me off .
1 That i broke deserved to break really , but the other was a surprise.

Excellant poles , but the 10" carbon neck should be just a extra £10 with a pole purchase .

I may look into the x-line pole range , think their heavier . But more rigid ?

Hi Kempy

Adding a carbon gooseneck to one of our poles is just £27+VAT (£32.40) extra on the cost of the pole and standard gooseneck.

If we sold them for £10 then we would be losing money on every one we sold  :(
