Reach-iT Pro, new brand, a little more expensive but a fab pole. I love mine. Plus you can use it as your everyday pole, so it doesn't just sit in the van waiting to be used occasionally. And its super strong, no lie, I've taken the smallest section out, propped it up on bricks either end and jumped on it! Amazing. On ebay for a good deal.

Why the hell would you even think of doing that?  ???

Maybe he was a bit bored; we've all done it; why just the other day I was curious as to whether or not it would hurt if I drove my Transit van over my outstretched leg.






I can report on here that it does sting a bit ;)

He is the supplier.
Overpriced and overweight.

They are also advertised with "reach" rather than "actual" length so be carefull of what you are buying.

Their 25ft pole is probably the same as an SLX22ft!

It's because all the gardiners users were still out working, where as everybody else was worn out from lugging around heavy poles and had to come back home early.  :o

I would say have a look on gardiners site for the smax or the slx xtreme (xtreme being a bit pricey but worth it). If its long runs of windows at that height then the SL2 might be appropriate and cheaper.
