After speaking to a couple of people that use them i decided not to bother.
If you don't keep them clean etc they can collapes. One of the guys i spoke to had this happen.

I bought these instead from Makro for £81

Woods, Im in the US and we use these to reach up to 21 ft
Each section is 6ft and fits easily inside a van or estate car and are easy to take apart and put together
