ive got a slx30 & i wouldnt use it as an everyday pole.you would be forever tripping over the pole hose and imo its too heavy for everyday use.
When I first went WFP I needed a three storey pole for a few jobs. My supplier reckoned fibre glass would be OK. He was wrong!!! In any wind I struggled to hold it on the glass...It eventually snapped on the end and I was so pleased because I could then buy a gardiner SLX25 which is great everyday pole in my opinion.
But if the SLX30 is quite light I may go for that to replace both poles.
What about if I buy a slx30, is it possible to remove a section or 2 for everyday use and just add the sections back on as I need them? I guess i'd just need to order extra end caps to protect the sections that would become the handle section of the pole.Anyone else do this?
Wayne I have a slx 35ft use it all day every day had it nearly two years no problem.
If money were no object I would go with Daz and use an extreme 22 and 47. The correct tool for the job and the best you can buy.

I agree, but money is an object to most of us, just for fun I added up the current price of Daz's poles with hose and hose tails = £1,836.45 ! but if your lucky you do get a free baseball cap with that
Mate its light as feather, absolutely not. Next time you see me come over and have a look.
i cant for the life of me understand anyone using a 40 supermax/slx all day every day.its too heavy and cumbersome to use all day for all windows.
poshgravie as i used to have a supermax 40 i know how heavy they are!occasionally i used to use it for all windows on a big domestic job.afterwards i couldnt wait to get back to my then 25 SLX!
