some1 local to me had a glass fibre pole, it was heavier than my unger by a fair bit

the unger is great, its hardwearing and lasts, you cannot beat it for VFM

im now using a fishing pole and i must admit its a delight to use, i dont come home with the same aches and pains

I do have an unger metal pole I used with trad, and yes you are right it is lighter and would be more hard wearing.

what would have have to do to the end cone to get a brush to fit? or what brush would you use for it?

Guys he already has a 21' pole, and on a tight budget, why would he need to buy another one?

Peter


A few suppliers can do you a brush that fits straight on your Unger pole  Like I said earlier if you keep the hose on the outside, then you can have it in your hand in seconds, for doing the bottoms.

How do you not just buy a facelift carbon fibre 24ft costs a fair bit more but must be the best pole out there bar none.

I wonder how long he has had his Unger pole?  I had mine around 5 years, and although it is redundant now, it is still in pretty good condition, and only cost me pennies in replacement threads.

Exactly, and I'm not even loaded enough to buy the 24'. 

I like how you make £415 (24') sound like almost nothing. ;)

I have had it for about 1,5 year now, only use it for the windows over conservatories. It's like new, even the threads for the cones are brilliant.

I would hate using a brush in my hand for downstairs, a pole gives you some power to scrub and move quickly, Luke
