Title: slx everyday pole
Post by: Erithwc on October 22, 2011, 09:12:59 pm
looking at getting a gardiners slx35 pole in the next few weeks so i can clean 3rd/4th floor windows but will it be to heavy for every day use 2050g.

does anyone use a slx 35 pole as a everyday pole or would it be a good idea to buy a slx25 base section so i can take of the three bottom sections off of the slx35 put the slx25 section for everyday use  ??? ???

thanks for the replys

if you take the bottom 2 sections off, it becomes a 25, no need to buy a slx 25 base section

Go as light as you can,  get a slx 35 and a slx 18.
A few years down the road using big base section and heavier poles all day will take its toll with your shoulders and wrists

I've got an slx 35 - Great pole will do 3rd storey windows easy but 4 storey windows you may struggle, just a bit shy, I am now looking at getting a super max 45 or 50 for the 4th floor + jobs. I use an slx 22 as my every day pole which reaches most of my residential work, I can't be bothered to take sections off the 35 and put them back on as and when.  :)

base section is insulated.

is it me or are Gardiner brush heads a bit small on these slx's? I'm a newbie when it comes to poles, etc, they just seemed abit narrow on bigger domestic windows?

I have 18 footer pole, want to get one of these carbon mix, probably 25, as don't have proper high stuff, and needs to be 5 foot closed.
