The BFG has one for sale, its in very good condition,i can vouch for that as i have been on jobs where she has used it. Mate its hardly used, a very good buy in my opinion.

Hi,
We have the SL-2, fantastic pole which we've used up to 72 ft.
But on the negative side we've had two sections stuck solid together for two months in the van.
Cheers,
Huw.

Hi Huw,
Have you tred a hot air gun, heat the joints up till its too hot to touch then let it cool, 3-4 times a day until it suddenly comes loose ! jus like that ;)

Hi Jeff,
We will have to try that.
Have tried WD40, tried three guys on either end and even tried talking to it nicely! But no joy so far.
Cheers,
Huw

This is what I do & have never had a section stuck.
Only use the PTFE spray (I don't use the vaseline), spray each joint on the day of use. If using it for say, more than a 2 hour period, next time you lower the pole just gently pull each section out an inch then back in. Also, I only gently push the sections together in the first place. ;) Hope that helps.

I would wonder if the brodex was actual length, they may have added the hip hight to the pole. That height I would go for a gardiners SL, even the supermax I think would be too whippy and heavy. You want the most control over the pole as possible. Only reason not to go modular would be if you have a few windows at that height and need to change pole length constantly.

i personally wud never use brodex too heavy
ask john at jsm m8 ;D
