just guessing but the good old unger tele plus poles will take a bit beating, and the harris everything else can be broke easy enough and with a bit of effort so can the two I mentioned
daft idea they all can be broken with a little effort

Simpole (USA) are sending us a pole to destroy.......
-
futureofcleaning.com are sending a pole to destroy......
Words getting around.....
-
Lee, just promise me one thing, try and find an Ionics pole to destroy.
I'd pay to watch that.
I'd also, purely out of interest as they're great poles, like to see a destruction test done on a Gardiners pole but I'd hate to think of Alex Gardiner crying.
-
Sounds stupid to me. We all know that you can get 2-4 years out of a pole if looked after and used properly. Or is this a joke?
-
Blimey what are you on? You need help.
lol I just contacted Kok Wans brother, he is a martial arts expert.... hoping he's gonna help with destroying some stuff, man! Keep you fingers crossed cus hes a very busy boy. What am I on? On the pulse lmao
If he's anything like his brother I would suggest you wear "slip-on" shoes.
You won't want to be bending down to do your shoe laces up as he will be in there like a rat up a drain pipe. ;)

So I have moved things a long a little bit today and would very much like your input.
We have decided to survey window cleaners to establish the following;
Which poles have broke?
What part of the pole broke?
How did it brake? Accident? Heavy Use?
And what happened with getting parts replaced? What was the poles warranty? Did you have to pay for it? Was it free but you had to pay for delivery?
( there may be other questions)
With the answers we are going to come up with real life tests that correlate with actual accidents in the market place... then test selected poles to these tests.
Then afterwards we are going to have a bit of fun with destroying them completely. So far, we have a gun range lined up and Gok Wans brother Kowklyn Wan is ready to rip into them with his martial arts friends...... he says he has weapons too..... (not sure bout that bit lol)
We will film it all and upload for viewing. If this works we can produce an informative and yet still entertaining film.....
So if any one wants to offer their ¢0.02 worth and spread ideas or answer some of the early questions as above please email me at lee@windowcleaningmagazine.co.uk

Rather than destroy perfectly good poles, why not do a proper field test with them, send them out with window cleaners for a period of time, give them criteria to work to, and submit the results, then donate the poles to a needy cleaner, or auction them with the proceeds going to charity?
Absolutely ridiculous to shoot them etc, seems like you want to feed your ego and pretend you are the Top Gear of the window cleaning game.
-
If any suppliers are reading this and thinking about sending a pole for free for destruction, don't bother send it to me, I will look after it and cherish it, write nice things about it and do my best not to break it,
I would buy one but MOT is due on van and road tax :'( :'(
anything around the 27 foot to 30 foot will do
-
I had the 3rd from top section of an 18 month old 30 foot Hybrid extel pole snap in half on me. Was just wear and tear, the fibres had thinned right out and i bounced it on a window to shut it. :-\

I thought it was a good idea and an intriguing one.
Get info on what problems pole users have had and all that and then destroy them. I cannot understand why anyone would be critical? So what if it's a stupid idea?
Lee, considering the stick you always get what ever you post, why change the habit of carrying on regardless?
You got tons of stick before you started up your on line mag, which I enjoy reading, but you still carried on with your idea.
-
Nothing regarding contacting the supplier. Luckily I had already purchased a replacement just in case. 5 mins home and back 😄
-
id llike to see jousting,but instead of on horseback use 2 vans , moneys on the teleplus

Why don't you do a days work and give it all to charidee? Seems hes only trying a few new things and tbh it makes a refreshing change than just reading bs about what people earn etc.

I do regularly thank you.
Bit of a difference in the points you are making, given that the suggestion was that the poles were originally donated for free to WCM to destroy, no work involved there.
