Like all gardener poles stiff and light

Sounds very nice, think I'll be adding that to my collection. From what I'm seeing, and for the one I own, it's defo the way forward.

Gardener poles are the future, and yet when ever I talk to a windy in the street most have never even herd of them

I suppose that's true, a forums favourite, but I guess there are people who spend their day earning money, and buy different.

I invested in one of these poles, the job I bought it for was the only one where I needed that amount of reach.

2 years later I use the same pole at least once a week, it has allowed me to quote for jobs I would have previously backed away from. More than paid for itself. ;)

2 years ago I spent 1k on a SL2-57 for a once per year job @£650.

I then got the Xtreme 48 & now have the Xtreme 47.

Needless to say, they have ALL more than payed for themselves! ;) :)
