Actually paid £540 after vat, instead of £450, gutted!
got it off cleaningspot and all they sent it in was a cardboard box as well as 2 filters rolling about, so im amazed its not smashed up. it does have a scratch though. >:(
they say its 3kgs but mine weighs 4kgs >:(
but looks really good quality, and the clamps are great, allen key adjustable.
ive got a job this week with about 400 windows, so i can try it out then,

Is that 4 kilos with the brush on? Pole hose and a brush could make up most of the weight depending on the brush, add to that the manufacturers approx weight maybe being a little low in the first place.
My 30ft pole weighs under 1.7 kilos all in, the lighter the more rigid the pole really does make a difference. Hope you enjoy it, let us know how the job goes and whatever you do don't loose that Allen key.

thats gross weight, although i doubt the brush and 5mm hose weighs nearly a kilo. the brush feels quie light in my hand? but what im going to do is take off sections as i go along to reduce the weight.
i measured it and its actually only 38ft! not happy about that, luckily ive got enough but thats quite alot to lie about!
its quite scary holding it up in the air though, gives me vertigo!
-
so you wanted a 40ft pole and only got a 38ft pole ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
obviously there cheap for a reason
-
used it for 5hrs today, quite happy with it, just need a gooseneck now, kept catching it on stone sills.
-
I think all poles being used above the 1st floor need a gooseneck, unless the windows are all flush with the walls, which isn't often!!!

You must use bendy poles then!

Not at all; carbon poles and light goosenecks.
I bet all your poles are scraped the hell out of on stone sills ;D

Many moons ago I used a 40ft f/g excel pole. I actually wore a "flat" on the end section!! ;D ;D
They don't make 'em like that anymore (thank goodness)! :D

I had one of those; Not the lightest or the stiffest are they lol!!!
-
had one too - ahh the good old days when men were men and window cleaners had sore arms
