45 FT LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM WATER FED POLE
« on: July 02, 2008, 07:54:25 pm »
does any one use one of these as i may have a 4 story office block on the cards
but the sl is out of my price range at the moment just wondered what it was like if it was heavy at that height and how flexible it is at that might also what the clamps were like and the overall length closed any help please thanks in advance ;)

Mbs, it says on your website you work up to 60 ft with WFP, why not use that one to do the 45 ft, or were you stretching the truth a little ;)
Good luck with the hunt, i've never used an ally one, so can't advise.

MBS, i had that alu pole your asking about. It was heavy to lift up, bent over like a rainbow, and swooped and sloshed about all over the place up high. The sections flex allot, and it felt like it would snap fully extended trying to lift it up as it bent so much. The clamps are #rap= glorified jubilee clips and the sections swivel inside each other, horrible pole to work. On the good side, the brush was nice. :-)

If it is one from Stream IMO don't buy it. I have 24 foot version and it is not a good pole. Definitely would not use it at 45 foot.
