Title: Confuse-it mini. Surely there is an easier way.
Post by: Jonny 87 on December 16, 2015, 08:46:20 pm
Mayb it's just because it's the end of the year and I'm mad busy with work, or that I wasn't really paying attention to the video..... But I'm totally confused.

I think I'll stick with a 45 foot pole and a 25. Job done.

I was never any good at algebra at school.

He's one cool dude though - what is he seventeen now?

Now, that's what you call a hoseless pole.

Seemed all a bit of a palaver to be honest. Wasn't that rigid either.

I'm one of the few who think Perry Tait is doing a great Job. He explains how it all works, gives great demonstrations and lays it out how it is. And anyone looking to get into waterfed pole system, say for example coming from a traditional window cleaning back ground will be sold on what he's selling.
 Of course once you're familiar with waterfed pole stuff you wouldn't touch Reach It with a Telescopic bargepole !!! In my opinion anyway. Its over priced, underequiped, heavily marketed product aimed at newbies. Good luck to him getting the message out. And thank God we have alternatives !!!    ;D

That reminds me, i'm suprised Dazmond took up the Gardiner route. I always had him down as a Reach It fan, what with him being a drummer and all.............

He has some good info, but it comes from what others have told him. Good demos? No I think he embarrasses himself every time he tries to show his 'skills.' He comes across so cack-handed and awkward. He needs to get himself into window cleaning and develop his own experience as Alex Gardiner does.

It reminds me of someone giving driving lessons but can't drive themselves.
He's an arm chair window cleaner.

TBH a newbie watching this video would probably be put off wfp window cleaning.

Compare that to Alex's videos. (I can't find the one where he is standing next to his van and extending a pole with so little effort.)

Dazmond- show this reach-it guy how you roll with an extreme 47 please . This guy looked like he was getting a bit confused with his alphabet, and that pole looks like a lot of messing about before you even touch the glass!

A lot of thought has obviously gone into what he has tried to achieve. Unfortunately it seems way over complicated and not a very practical way at all time & safety wise to reach higher work with all that faffing about.
