How high can you go with that pole and is it ridgid are you able to clean windows up to 30ft down to ground floor with the same pole,if you can then fair play to you.

I can clean up to 38 ft with the SL-X if I stand on the crawling board on the roof rack of my van- can anyone beat that? I have a van door ladder and find it useful if I park right up to garages for jumping on to their flat roofs without the need for ladders, lol

Your right Ian, but my first impressions are that it is a fantastic pole!! And I am over the moon that I have spent £15 instead of £300!!

I will of course keep you updated on how well it lasts over the next couple of months, but I am convinced that it will last for many months, hopefully even last a year!!! ;D

You arn't in the know my friend, if the sl-x was 800 quid i would still have it. I paid 920 quid for a 44ft facelift carbon 18 months ago which is still going strong & has paid for itself many, many times over. Try doing a good job at 44ft with a harris pole! ;D ;D

Anyway, thought you'd turned over a new leaf since being reinstated?  :P

My Sl-x was totally useless this week.

With my clamps keep coming loose, I reset my pole and used loctite, everything seemed fine until yesterday when my wife was using it and she couldnt use clamps 2 or 3 ,she couldnt budge them, for 1 job she had to use a screwdriver to prise open the clamps.

A £430 pole stuck in the van unusuable for 2 days.

Why do i bother !!!!

Should of stuck with my fall apart excels.


Its all right for you guys without a full workload, you can spend all day loving it and polishing it , but in the real world it can be a nightmare
