doesnt look half a bad pole but as you say it depends on what you do .I am starting out on domestic and the first real customer ,well someone i know was in a block of flats on the third floor and my standard 18ft did not quite reach. I also purchased a small extender pole up to 6 feet and now I could do with a 24 ft so not to struggle with soffits etc. just didnt want to keep lots of poles in van. so thought a 40ft or so where i could take out sections make it into a 3 section 18ft and just add the extra bits as the job demanded. If I managed to get something a bigger I would want to go straight in and do it without having to go through the learning curve of picking yet another pole 24 or 30 ft and then find I could not reach a skylight or something. So power pole, who sells this one and would it fulfill the criteria above?
Thank you for your reply tcs.
regards paul. :)

I have an Unger carbon tec on order. When it arrives in the next 2 weeks  8) , I will be selling my 48ft powerpole  ( 6 x 8FT sections ).The carbon tec, As Tartan says " it's not really practical for domestic". The powerpole is very versatile, and can be used for domestic and commercial. However as my work, seems now to be becoming more commercial, I have opted for the Unger pole.

The carbon tec was ordered through a local supplier, powerpole only used about half a dozen times, so £450 plus I will also have available the followimg accessories at additional cost:-

gutter hook, jet washer, nozzles pk 5, pressure wash trigger and hi pressure hose
