Buying my first pole and brush any suggestions
For residential work
-
i started of with a converted unger pole but now use a xtel pole and gardiners super lite, they are good, but some say it is whippy, a lot are buying a the new one gardiners are bringing out c something, put a post in the buy and sell and buy a second hand pole and just get a new brush, as a lot will get new poles just for the hell of it rather than they need one

Been looking at the brodex poles seem reasonable in price and lightweight

where do you live ? if money is tight I have about 9 poles, I am sure I could match what you need.
if your not worried about money go for a 30ft slx with a duel trim flocked brush.
thats the lightest combo for a manafactured pole/brush and slx are stiff non wippy.
I started out with xtel poles as you dont no any difference this is a good option.
if you want real cheap go on youtube.com then type in "less than £30 wfp" I made a video on how to make one for less than £30 ;)

get a 17ft xtel pole good for a cheap 1st, or spend some extra and get a superlite 18ft carbon fibre.
as for battery i've got a 110amp leisure battery from local motor factor, lasts about week and a half between charges with me cost 70 quid

Dont get xtel, get the clx from gardiners instead....
-
im still on my first pole 17ft xtel from gardiners and it does me fine. im still in my first year of wfp so is fine while im learning. i use a car batt which i took off a car i scrapped and it lasts 3 to 4 days between charges.
I`l be upgrading everything afer i treat myself to a new van next year

if you want something that lasts go for the brodex hydra alloy , it will out last all fibreglass and carbon poles by a mile and comes with 3 year guarantee regards alan
