Sole trader pole set up
« on: September 18, 2012, 08:40:13 am »
so for all you one man bands out there what poles you got?

heres mine

22ft CLX

25ft SLX

40ft SUPERMAX

25ft BRODEX HYDRA

30ft UNGER TELEPLUS TRAD POLE

small unger optiloc converted into a WFP for cleaning the van


my main pole is the 25ft SLX with a choice of 3 carbon goosenecks with an extreme brush/soft sill/med sill respectively.excellent all arounder.

22ft CLX with aqua-daptor gets used  for some work(like today)and the 40ft supermax gets used on some commercial and big domestic and any solar panel cleaning.

i cant see me using the hydra ever again!and the teleplus gets used occasionally albeit as an 18ft trad pole!

so what poles have you guys got??i reckon ive got most bases covered for my work anyway! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

I would be a bit careful about listing what expensive equipment you have on a public forum.

My poles are years old and knackered cause I'm too tight to buy new ones.  ;)

Grow up knd. Just because you cant afford them yet doesnt mean everyone should keep quiet so not to upset you !

Ive worked damm hard for what ive got. I still have the original diy system i first started out with and not a crash tested one.

Dazmond has probably worked harder than me (hes older and been cleaning longer), so shut the jealous cake hole of yours and be quiet

How was that out of order  ?

The guy made out i was bragging when i was simply answering a question. If someone asked what controller you used, he wouldnt say a thing. When i first started i didnt have a controller... I couldnt afford one. But i didnt cry because other people did.

Dazmonds post might seem like bragging to some but the reality is he's wasted his money on them. He only needs 2.
slx and supermax.

I don't reckon Dazmond was bragging.
I read it as though he was asking what other people use to get a general idea of people's preference.
Who knows it might help someone starting wfp to decide which pole they want to buy?

Dazmond wasn't bragging. He's just a pole freak!  ;D

Dazmond is single and doesn't drink and probably debt free. Personally, I couldn't justify atm an SLX, but I am not jealous of Dazmond or anyone else that has them.

nowt like bragging some window cleaners on here can't afford fancy poles so I think you should keep what you have to yourself . can't do wi bragging how much you earn , what poles you got what set up you got . good on you if you can afford all that gear mate but some people can't afford it

Pathetic post,Daz started a post and clearly placed the post title,its not compulsary,so if you don't want to read or reply you don't have to.

Snap.
 I also have a clx that I use for upvc cleaning work. I had it gold plated as I've found over the last 50 years of wfp it slows down the wear, but hey don't tell anyone.
