omnipole ,ionics ,brodexbms ,They are the market leaders and all sell quality proffesional poles.
there is a technique for making the pole work lighter and that is to cup the end of the pole in the palm of your hand and walk gently backwards and forwards so your arms are not doing all the work

Thanks StIvel

Mmmm, is a carbon fibre pole really worth twice the price of fibreglass?

What do you use for ground floor stuff?  I mean what size pole?

it depends if you get more done by not being so tired out with a heavier pole

i cant seem to find that tds site at the moment ,i will keep looking.
 

I will be getting it from a quality supplier .At the moment i have got a brodex pole and am pleased with it apart from the dodgy brush but thats another story.

i may try omnipole or ionics because i will get to know how each  compare ,

i wondered who that mail was off shirley   ;)

Get the 4ft multi pole from ionics, best i've ever had for ground floors............you gotta stop the traditional method. The others probably sell something similar, have a look around.
