Im no tight git at anything in life but want to get it out there that my SLX25 which has been used everyday 6/7 days a week is 7 years old, only thing changed is the clamps! I can see it lasting another 7 years also, i also have an SLX18 thats 5 years old that gets used when i have 2men in a van that still has the old clamps on and is fighting strong with no spinning. Also to note i never clean out the poles or look after them with maintenance replacing tape etc, in fact the end tape on the SLX25 had totally warn away about 4/5 years ago.
Anyone else had a good l ife with there pole?
-
CLX-22 about three years old, just had its third brush and fitted the upgraded clamp kit - Brilliant ! None of my previous poles ever lived long enough to warrant a replace brush.
-
My CLX18 is going on 10 years old and I have only replaces the clamps and all sections twice. lol.

Since I went VAT reg I change them when they get dirty.
-
about 3 year old ... time for a new one ... sell this one on ebay and get most money back ... after tax and vat claim near enough get a "free pole" every 2 years

Had my SLX 25 just over 3 years, still going strong.

;D ;D ... then I'm guessing you flog em on fleebay for more than you payed for them too. :P

I've had my SLX 25 for 5yrs, still great. Replaced with the new clamps when they came out only because I fancied the newer version of the clamp. I've got Xtremes now, so I have given it to a mate on permanent loan ;D. It's been excellent.

Ahh i thought i was the only 1 where its lasted so long. Think Alex made a boo boo as they last 3/4 times longer than other poles out there.

You nicked my idea
Thought I'd copywrited that one lol

My slx 22 is two years old
One of the clamps failed and started to spin, but i glued it back on and is fine.
sections are getting towards the end of their life in terms of the clamps runnig out od thread but i think i should be able to build it up and refurb it at some point
Dont intend on buying another anytime soon, hoping for another 2 years out of it

Around 3-4 years for mine
-
new main pole roughly every 2 years or so.mine are usually knackered by then(and thats with cleaning them every month)but thats using xtreme poles.its always the top 2 sections that wear down after this amount of time.
-
Krzysztof Nazwisko is about 96 years old. He's the oldest pole I know.
Hope that helps
-
Yeh but is he your main pole or just one of many ?
-
One of many, there's thousands of them down here.

I still use my original slx25, must be at least 7 years old, on a daily basis also. The one with the diamond patterned carbon, best pole i've ever had and i've had a few.
-
i think my slx 22 is 2 years old ish the number 1 section is allmost wore out now but its still going strong
-
The SLX 18 must be 3 years old now, no 1 section clamp is as tight as it will go, It holds when I leave a few inches in though. still use the old Harris for doing the ones behind bars. The first 5 lengths of the 60ft Superlte are getting knackered.
-
My SLX 22 is so old I can't remember, 5 or 6 years. Everything is still good, never had to replace clamps. Did break one section and given it a good kicking but it just wants to keep going. Had an xtreme 25 for 3 years and all is good. You do have to be gentle with it though.
-
My harris pole broke after one day ;D ;D
-
Dai how long have you been behind bars? i thought you'd gone quiet too.
