Thinking about ordering a Cl-x pole from Gardiners- is it a good everyday pole? What's best size 18 or 22?
-
spend a few quid extra and get a SLX, got one last week, v.good pole ;D
-
Get 22, fine as every day pole, very light and good pole ;)
-
Get the 18 and 27 you will not need anything else

Is the 18 the same length collapsed as the 22 (just more sections)?
-
I'm not sure as I have not seen a 22. I'm sure the website will tell you though.
-
Yep,both 4'9" and clx22 has an extra section. Go to www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk, click the wfp section and it gives you height, weight etc :P
-
Thanks, all sorted and hopefully on its way tomorrow!

Which size?
-
Went for 18, it's what I've got at moment and get on ok with that.
-
good choice.
A little less weight than the 22 but will still do most of your resi work

I'm sure you'll like it.
I would have gone for the 22 & taken the base section off, just adding it again when needed. ;)
-
Was it the Clx or slx you went for? im gona call em tomorrow and get one , its only £85 for the CLX and the weight difference is only 100g,
Who thinks its worth getting an SLX over a clx considering the price differences is it worth it ? someone told me the slx felt better to clean with but i dont know...
Cheers

I dont see the point of getting the 18 as the 22ft is very very light anyway!!and the extra length will come in handy for that awkward window above a flat roof/conservatory!be careful you dont over extend the sections as i broke a clamp when i did!the stop sections soon stop working!but a good domestic every day pole for the price.

Don't forget to order the glue for the clamps... This is not a knock at Gardiners, the rest of their gear is very good, just the clamps are crap totally.
-
I think they had a batch with poor glue, but that is now sorted. I had one 7 months ago no problem and another two weeks ago with no problems so far.

was in gardiners today, and asked about clx said they had the glue problem sorted

So what are the Super lite poles like; for the price the 55ft version sounds good; " the lightest tele pole in the world "; are they any good????
Please don't tell me to get a modular pole as I don't fancy them; not adjustable enough for my liking :)

The "super-lite" is a modular pole. Do you mean S-Max?

i have and its a right pain!!

Dave Willis on matt's "cleeningforums" has one & is very impressed with it. I have a 25ft slx & 60ft SL2 (super-lite)
One thing to note though is that there are now TWO S-MAX versions. One has shorter sections which enables a shorter closed length but has a fatter base section. The other has thinner base sections but longer closed length (fewer sections). They now come standard with the new carbon goosneck, which I have & is like helium! ;D
So, to be honest I can't personally comment on the SMAX but going on my experience with other Gardiner products I don't think you would be disappointed.
Hope that helps a little ;)

Al @ perfect panes has one I'm sure if you ask him he'll let you have a look at it. I have and it’s a very nice piece of kit.
