Go get a harris pole mate ;) £15

It's served you well m8, I reckon it's time for you to indulge in a 25slx Gardiner pole (tried & tested) or the new arrival Phoenix 26 might be worth a look!
Been using the 25slx myself for the last 22 months and has been fantastic. Does 99% of my round. Lightweight & versatile.

got one of those also. acutally surprised how good they are lol. Bit long though when closed for some jobs but a handy tool still
-
Not knocking harris pole, but surely it can't reach more than 15ft?
Am i wrong?
Will get 1 if you can reach 18 foot say.
-
Harris poles reach all my 2 story work i used them for 2 years light and sturdy. I still have a harris in the van as a backup pe. For the money they are 10 times as good as a heavy fibreglass pole.

Harris pole will easily reach 18 ft.
But I find the clamps to be a real pain and they dont last.

john if their the twist lock type i remember posts about cutting plastic strips from 2 ltr coke bottle, which you fit under cone on thread and tighten.
Sorry if old news.

Great tip Guys. Many Thanks.

You can used saddle clamps to replace the clamps on a Harris pole and also extend the Harris by 6 foot.I used it for 3 years and this Harris pole reaches 2 nd floor window.
-
I've got a Harris but I use it clampless it works fine and its quicker especially once you've done the upstairs you just let the pole fall back down and you're doing the downstairs windows in seconds. I clamp. It for over conny roofs and that's about it ;D
-
Sounds poss candidate for conny roof pole ?
-
I use one with an adjustable angle masonry paint brush on it for cleaning the finials on conservatory roofs
Light, lots of control and gets in all the little nooks

When my xtel pole snapped I bought a CLX. Although the clx has its issues, it was such a huge improvement that I am grateful the xtel snapped. The big improvements were, no sticking, rapid brush and clamp adjustment and weight. From night to day.

couldn't have watched it correctly, and I have no idea what a harrison pole is.
I put the link up for anyone with clamp problems with their Harris poles. I watched it once and sorted my clamps out straight away, not that I use it any more but it is a handy spare
-
may buy another extel as the closed length is great for some jobs
