Nice.
The Gardiners ones are only £35 though.
Obviously you're one is significantly cheaper.
Did you weight it?
I wonder what the weight difference would feel like at height?

That's brilliant. Love a bit of diy. Bet most of our sheds/garages aren't as well stocked as yours though with the pipe bender and what not.

I must've looked at the wrong thing.
I actually want a 90° 22' gooseneck but it's not an 'off the shelf' item and I'd imagine it'd be pricey to have made.
Did you get a weight on your gooseneck bud?
Although I'm practical I haven't got any DIY WFP kit.
I do fancy this...

I have not weighed it yet  but it is very light and very strong if your not far away pop round I will knock you up a few for you  can get 5 out of a length of pipe for £11

Thank you very much for the offer.
I'm a lil' distance from you up in Lincolnshire so I'll decline.
Thank you though, it's a very kind offer.
I'm not normally a weight queen but I can even feel the difference between the extreme and super light brushes. The slightest weight increase at over 80' really does make a difference.
There's a plumber at the end if my road, I may try and tap him up for the price of a pint.
Thanks for your info though.
