Hi Formby, our window cleaners use this pole plus we also sell this pole through our janitorial business, I have only had good feedback from the people using them so I would say go for it.

I wouldn't touch anything Unger that's for WFP. Everything they produce is so WAY off the mark it's hard to understand the logic of their R&D department- if at all one exists!!

Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole & go for something tried & tested, backed up by masses of positive reviews & with a customer service dept' second to none!!

GARDINER XTREME. ;)

Thanks all
And Paul you hit the nail.
I think in feet/inches.
2.6 metres is a big pole to carry around with you.
I am going to try and wait for the gardiers to come in stock and hope I dont lose the job meanwhile.
thank you for all your help everybody.
