how do you rate these poles http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/CL-X.html
i used to use the extels and thinking of getting somthing to last longer
-
I've got the clx 18 and its a cracking pole
previously i had used fg extel and hydra alloys.... this beats them hands down
very light too... obviously the slx is lighter being 100% cf, but if your used to fibre glass poles you will appreciate the clx alot
-
are they basically an hybrid pole then
-
50% cf + 50 % fg
The have some flex in them which i find handy cleaning the windows above connys
-
i have a 35foot extell hydryd thats strong at full height. i except the clx will be strong to. i am down sizing from 21(24)foot for an every day pole i dont use all that any way theres another 2 on the van if needed (on last legs tho, im so tight sometime before if i couldnt screw the clamp nor more i used to discard it, now i get the plyers and screw from other end of screw, adds months on to pole)
-
I have the CLX-27,.. seriously impressive pole for the money. The SLX is obviously more rigid, but the CLX is only a fraction heavier and its half the price!
-
paypal account had money saved in there that i didnt realise the amount i had in there, so it feels like it was for free lol
-
50% cf + 50 % fg

whatch out for clever marketing mate, sellers will twist the facts
it can never be 50% or 100%
ive got a friend who works with carbon fibre
and he says its nearly allways 30% resin to hold the carbon fibre
so your clx can only be 35% carbon fibre maximum
price of the carbon fibre is done on the quality of carbon fibre
more than just the carbon fibre content

As the title of this post is regarding one of our products we thought it would be OK to comment.
For the record with our 'CL-X™ Carbon Composite Pole' the telescopic sections have 50% fibre glass cloth and 50% carbon fibre cloth. This is stated as some 'hybrid' poles in reality are nearer 25% Carbon 75% Fibre Glass. We would agree that quality of cloth is very important which is why we source our carbon cloth from one of the most respected producers in the world.
We strive to keep the price at the current level by keeping manufacturing efficient and our margins low. We also pride ourselves on our honesty and try to present products exactly as they are.

Well Said . Realy good poles 8)
-
They are are good for th money I recommend u use a superlite brush wit it to help eliminate the flex
-
i use a sill brush as its easier to clean sills
-
I use a fill brush but not on the clx it's to heavy for it at full length try the superlite extream that's looks like it b good for sills as well
-
aerial brush cleans sills in 2 strokes
without the brush stock touching the sills
and its a very light brush
cleans the glass just as quick 8)

If Gardiner admin come on and state its carbon cloth, then that's what it is.

You have to realise that gardiners are competition to Alex because he works for tecbuk or aerial brush so he is going to try and slate gardiners.

Won't matter, show him black & he'll argue all day, in the face of proof that it's white! ::) ;D
-
I thought Alex was from Gardiners?
Anyway, we have 4 of their slx poles (over 2 and a half years old and still going strong, used for 90% of our work) - I'm really happy with Gardiner poles, they were recommended to me by ANOTHER SUPPLIER who has been so honest with ever since we got our van systems from him that we bought them on his say so. He has 4 slx poles as well and used to supply Brodex, Xtel etc and says nothing else comes close, and I agree.
-
no the other alex that only talks about aerial brushes.
-

me thinks you may be a little paranoid
take it easy mate (cabin fever?)
I will try and not mention the aerial brushes ;D
my post is aimed at a number of poles if you read it right ;)

I would believe that too. If Alex says it's cloth then it's cloth.

Ok it's not about belief.
Perhaps it's about how thick you are.

The reason people believe Alex Gardiner is because he has proved himself to be an Honest supplier who provides excellent customer service.
The other Alex is unwise to make disparaging remarks about him and is also I believe less than honest in trying to tell us he does not represent the supplier of ariel brushes as he bangs on about them at every opportunity as well as the company's other products.
He is not doing his company any favours by critising Gardiners.
-
I would agree with that. Alex on here only seems to support one company but has a funny way of trying to promote them. I think Arial brushes and equipment could do well on here if only they could get their pricing right. They are just too far off the mark at the moment. Maybe if they could reduce their brush prices and sell in volume they might stand a better chance. I would try one if it was cheaper and from a proven supplier.
-
Got it today, nice feel, and first impression is its sturdy and light , good grip, and i like the new clamps.
-
i like mine getting use to it its really light too, only thing is the base cap needs to be glued on ill have to call them tomorrow so they send me some glue.

he critising gardeners so much that in turn hes critising gardeners costomers judgment. again he pushing his own protential customers away. if i have a new customer and they had a bad cleaner before i dont slag that cleaner off i show how im better, if i slagged th other cleaner my new customer could feel like a prat through me offending his judgment
