I dont know what some of you do with your poles!!!
I have a 30ft slx & a 22ft clx both over 3 yrs old, only now starting to think about replacing the clx which is used every working day. The slx is used several times a week and is still in good order.

i like my slx but the top section wear too fast,so annoying!
i like gardiner brushes and carbon gooseneck, if facelift do something similar i will probably buy a phoenix pole with accessories

Carbon Goose Neck is good on commercial work but for residential i much prefer the Quick Loc system well built very robust me thinks and very easy to change brushes .

Going to get some push fit T-pieces to make it even easier to switch brushes . Mike

Interesting views on here.

A pole you simply didn't look after that only lasted a year and cost £250 might sound a lot but, even assuming it's worthless at the end of that year, that's £1 per working day.  That £1 gets you

Less arm and shoulder strain - lighter and stiffer
Less neck strain - ditto
Quicker working - good clamps
Easier cleaning - all of the above

Cheap at three times the price.

Spot on. Trouble is, convincing some of this is like convincing certain customers that rain wont affect their window clean!! They'll just never see it!! :D
