Title: Advise Please
Post by: Dan Walker on June 26, 2014, 02:05:54 pm
Afternoon Guys

I currently only have a small round that is a add on to my existing cleaning business, just your everyday 2 and 3 storey properties. I currently am using a 30ft old fibreglass pole which is heavy and awkward.

Looking into the 25 gardiner poles I'm not looking to spend a huge amount as its only for a few customers, my question is is the expense of a slx to a clx beneficial or not as its quite a large price gap?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Yes.

Slx all the way.

I wouldn't use anything else now.

Plus for the amount of work you are doing it will last you 5 plus years if you look after it.

It's well worth the price difference.

For the difference in price go for an slx - will do 3 storey work and last nearly three times longer than the clx

This is a good all rounder. I use the flocked version most of the time http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/the-super-lite-brush-dual-trim-medium-mixed-bristles.html

The best brush that gardiners sell, and one of the best brushes out there.

No it wont, theres no difference in a SLX and CLX as far as lifespan is concerned.

Not to get into a no it won't, yes it will, no it won't argument

None of my clx poles have lasted more than 16 months
Slx poles still great from 4, 3 and 2 years ago

Just offering my experience
Best regards

My CLX is 3 years old and in perfect condition plus it still has the old type clamps all working to perfection.
Others on here have stated that they get just over a year out of an SLX.
There is no evidence to suggest that either pole lasts longer.
