Can anyone recommend a 28-30 foot pole that
A collapses to less than 6 foot total
B has proper "stops" so the sections can't come apart in use
C doesn't leave your hands black
I'm replacing me Brodex scaffold pole, and want to be rid of the above features!
Thanks in advance.

Is that you, Alex?
-
Alex???? No!
-
I was joking that Alex Gardiner had resorted to underhanded advertising :o. And you are Mr.G, as well.
Have a look at Gardiner's poles. The Phoenix poles, maybe?
-
Ok, I'll have a look. thanks!
Maybe Alex will give me a free pole for advertising then? lol
-
Worth a try.
Hope you get sorted :).

all carbon poles will leave your hands black if you dont use gloves.
buy a 30ft SLX if you want a quality,light,rigid pole and wear gloves.

or if your minted get an extreme ;D

Thanks for the replies!
I was thinking more along the lines of a fibreglass-carbon hybrid pole, are they any good? with regard to stiffness? and black hands!

THE NEW SLX IS DIFFERENT CARBON TO THE OLD STYLE, SO HASNT MADE MY HANDS BLACK YET, ONLY HAD IT ONE DAY THOUGH SO TIME WILL TELL ;D IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT WILL THOUGH :)
-
if you're thinking of a hybrid I'd go for a gardiners clx 27

Graham does that one have stops on the sections?
-
All gardiner poles have stops on them, saying that, they can be added to the facelift poles if you want them.
-
just had a look at it on their site, seems to be just the job. Cheers!
-
mr G if you have a fair bit of high work with your pole fully extended then the SLX 25 or 30 would be the better option if your finances will stretch.the clx 27 bends like a banana at full stretch even with a light brush.
full carbon poles are the way to go if you take your business seriously.they are FAR BETTER than any hybrid pole.

agree with dazmond, the slx will make your hands black, but you have a shower at night dont you :)

Gloves?
Can't understand why you all moan about black hands, just use gloves and rinse the pole regularly. All carbon poles will give you black hands in the end surely? I think Gardiners even supply disposable gloves too.
-
Black hands come from non sprung clamps, basically clamps which do not open up when clamp catch is released. The is the reason a number of older Facelift poles (6-7 years old) are still going as this feature was built in. You won't find any other pole range with this as standard. Phoenix range has this built in so wear is to a minimum.
-
I may be wrong, but I think the problem with the Brodex pole is the black anodizing wearing off the aluminium.

I'll bear that in mind Dazmond, as I often use it horizontal over conservatory roofs etc
