As above just wondered.if there really worth it for.standard residential work I,m a.bit unsure on not being able to adjust the brush angle, wondered if.anyone used them for.this
Thanks

I use them on domestic, works fine for me.
Never changed the angle when i used the plastic ones anyway

I'm a swiveller most of the time. So I have both set ups. If I didn't swivel then I would probably use the carbon gooseneck for every thing as the angle is just right to get to every thing. The gooseneck is also so light in comparison. It's also ideal for gutter cleaning. If you would only be comparing it to an angle adapter and not a swivel then I would say that it wins hands down. Well worth having both set ups.

i gotta admit, ive been using it for two weeks now and had my first problem today. I was cleaning the top bedroom window of a property with a massive extension. I couldnt do it from the ground due to the angle so had to go up the ladder to the lip of the extension and clean it from there. from the height the window was about 15ft away from me but only about 5 ft above me. I couldnt reach the very top of the window because the angle of the goosneck would hit against the gutter above. Luckily i was doin the insides as well so i could reach the drops from inside. otherwise though, i would have been a bit ped off and certainly embarrassed.
Im sure its been mentoned before but how do you chaps go about taking off the gooseneck and putting something adjustable on an slx extreme pole?

The quick release clamp and John guest fitting on the pole hose mean you can change brushes in under a minute. You do need 2 sets of brushes though. Since having this set up I've never changed brushes so much, and why, well because I can.

thanks for the replys..my idea was to get the carbon 10"goosneck with extreme brush and then also have the standard angle adapter available but have them both as quick release ones, does anyone know if you order the pole and ask for the carbon goosneck does it automatically come as a quick release version all ready made up, so you dont need to buy the quick release adapter set.
cheers

It would be impossible to use the carbon gooseneck without the quick release clamp, so if the gooseneck is ordered as the pole brush then I imagine the kit should be installed, the John guest fitting is only a couple of quid on the site. The best thing is to give them a call.

I find the gooseneck to be impractical on many jobs where there are sills as getting the correct angle to brush the sill is difficult and sometimes not possible. This may have changed with the introduction of the sill brush (if that's out yet. The gooseneck is fine for commercial jobs though where you have loads of glass and no sills. Indeed, I have recently done a job that would not have been possible without it because a plastic angle adaptor plus extensions would have been too unstable.

All carbon goosenecks come complete as a 'quick-release assembly' with all parts ready assembled for instant use.

i think u just find what works for you .
i prefer not to use one ,the angle isnt right for me.

I use mine all the time and love it ! the angle is perfect for the sills imo ;D
