Title: Unrivalled In Water Fed Pole Design
Post by: Nameless Drudge on November 04, 2012, 10:47:40 pm
The  Facelift/Phoenix banner at the top of the page keeps flashing this up.

Quite obviously a lie!,the first,the last,one of many?

Its time for the long term product/customer service reviews to do the talking and there doesn`t appear to be any.Good luck if you have bought one.

Having used facelift poles for many years I would say there products have been of very good quality, if there new poles are as good as there previous but new lighter designs and more competive pricing then they will get my business.

Are they unrivalled?

Nameless, how is it a lie and an obvious one at that?

In fact, if you could point out a rival and why, I will take the banner down.

PLEASE STOP !    Too many people on this forum have got too much time on their hands arguing about inches, feet,grams, and kilograms.   
Stephen Fox do what Alex Gardiner did a while ago, and take a break from this forum . . . . . let your product do the talking as you you are on a hiding to nothing trying to reply to every poster wanting answers.

I admire your stamina and patience looking at the previous posts  ;D

So would I. It looks good, I like the clamps from what I have seen and it looks like a genuine challenger to the market leaders.

Well im going to give facelift a go. Its about time some competition for gardiners comes as maybe will reflect in the pole prices finally comeing down with competition. Near £500 for an 18ft extreme is a joke. Even £300 for slx. If another company does equal as good poles cheaper then fair play. I have yet to read all these long posts about facelift vs gardiners as are so boring they are only overpriced poles at the end of the day whatever way you look at it.

Have to say facelifts clamps on the new poles are very nice, and they are smaller than I thought they would be.

It seems you may be restricted to only buying the 5m Harris then. As discussed elsewhere even the Gardiner SLX 22 is 'only' 20 feet 11 inches for example.

Just look at the specified extended length, not the name of the pole.

In English please DMSI; your post makes little sense as written.

Do you mean:-

They're or There are?

And then:-

Gardiner Fanboys around here (on this forum)
Gardiner Fanboys around here (St. Ives? Cornwall?)
Gardiner Fanboys around here (my staff)

Enquiring minds want to know!  ;)

Hi Malc

Just re read it again, it was meant to be wit,  but It came out wrong, I don't have your writing skills.  ;)

It was meant to be "Really !!!, There are Gardiner Fan boys around here ?".

On the Forum

I don't come here as often as I used to, but when I do, I only have one eye on my typing,.

Am sure it was facelift poles that many said was best pole before the 1st supalite came on the market. Don't think it was until the sl2 came out did the perception of the poles change in gardiners favour.
