I'm looking at getting a new pole soon and I've been using a 30ft slx for around 3 years no problems with still the same clamps its been a great pole and does around 90% of my work , but I've seen this reach it pole and it does sound very good what with the fact that if you need to go higher you just add a section so really only need one pole but I've not heard any body rave about them on here which concerns me , so if any one has one tell me all about it good and bad

I'm the same as you, I really like the look of these poles and I use a 30ft slx also, but am definitely considering the reach it poles, Richard Everingham of jet systems is the man you need to speak to he is the uk sales manager. Most peeps on here won't consider any other pole than a Gardiners because they think they are the best, but I think reach it could be a good contender as the poles look quality and they are offering a 3 year no blame guarantee
It will definitely be my next purchase.
Perry Tait and Richard Everingham are on a lot of facebook window cleaning groups but don't seem to get involved in forums from what I can see.

gardiners have extension for the poles @ around £35, just add an end cap.

I've got a Mini + 2 XT extensions, basic 25ft pole for most on my work, but can go to 45ft if needed. I like the pole a lot. Never had a Gardiner so can't comment.

Gardiners have a good rep on here because they are good poles and give excellent customer service, it's upto other companies to prove themselves I've looked at other makes and they are usually heavier or dearer than mr g's products so why change from something proven ?

id buy an extreme pole if i were you if you want an easier working day mate.you wont regret it they are awesome poles.much lighter and more rigid than the SLX poles.

Marc, I'd be interested to hear your outcome. I use a 22 SLX for everyday use and I like it. I've got a 35 SLX and it's too bendy for my liking. I am guessing Daz has got it about right with the extreme, but it would be nice to hear some options. Perhaps 'oranges aren't the only fruit' no gender issues intended!

sorry this is irrelevant to the post, but if I ordered a pole off gardiners Friday night when should I be expecting it? I live in Middlesbrough, I haven't ordered with them before you see 8)
