Got to be honest - stick to Gardiners.
That looks like a D I Y pole - too many bits sticking out with the pole hose feeds next to the clamps. :o
-
Right bag full of nuts and bolts - what a mess looks like a meccano set built by schoolkids.
-
jokers,looks rubbish and looks like it fall apart within minutes
-
I don't know why they even bother, they make great hand tools but their WFP gear is in the dark ages compared to Gardiners
-
No pricing.
No weights.
No specs.
No news.
Now if they were saying it's lighter than the market leader as well as stiffer, and the price is £XX, there might be something worthwhile to report.
-
So, if they are lighter than Gardiners stuff and more ridged what does that mean?
-
Im hoping to check it out myself when it is revealed at the ISSA/Interlean show next week. I have left it a little late to organize mind :)

I think you are all being a bit harsh on it. Not sure how you can tell whether its any good just from a picture.
Put a picture of a Gardiners pole up against a similar pole and you would not be a able to tell a great deal of difference yet we know they are better than most.
I can see some interesting ideas on the unger pole and if they work then great.
The reason we are all working with good equipment now is down to people like this constantly trying new things and attempting to improve what we have.
If no one did this I would still be using my 7 foot long,(closed) half ton Omnipole I bought in 2004.

They were way heavy - arms like Mr Tickle lol

Sounds like it is a 22ft telescopic pole (or 22ft reach) with modular add-ons for high level work. Seem to be trying to make it adaptable with different positions for quick release jets etc.

I still use mine for the odd job. the extra weight comes in handy but it amazes me to think I used to work all day with it.
It always makes me laugh when the new boys complain that a "new" pole is half a gramm heavier than the competitions. (what a bunch of little girls ha ha)
lee if you still have an Omnipole you should hang onto it. If ever you have any building work done they are great as back up scafold poles ;D
