hi iam just about to buy a 44 f face lift pole with the adaptor to fit any brush are these poles worth the money and do you think they should last a while and also are they lite to hold compared to my 36f power pole and window/cill brush
-
very worth the money, they also break down in seconds to any size/number of sections you like ( massive bennefit). been using mine 5 months, it gets some right hammer, thrown about the lot. so far i've not had any problems with it, it's light, rigid, very robust & the clamps are great. despite what others say i like the facelift brush although it is suited best to commercial work as its quite bulky. I now use the adaptor with a rectangular vikan & angle adaptor, works a treat for me.

ive been using one for about a month or so now anf find it to be a great pole .compared to the powerpole it is much easier to use .
the wieght at 44 is still not that light and i do feel the strain after a while .
the pole can be broken down very quickly and i dont have any problems with the clamps .
as poles go its the best ive used so far .if im working on my own i only need to take 1 pole to work which eliminates the tangling of pole hoses .

Totally agree with macmac...excellent piece of kit, the facelift brush is best suited to large commercial work, thus I have the cleantech adapter and have a new Vikan monofiliment brush (also great).
Have been using mine for the past 5 months also and have yet to find fault with it, most of the time it is used for the top 4 sections (24ft) and I throw on the other 4 sections as and when required.
Its light, strong and very, very long ;D...yes it costs a load of dosh but it also makes me far more than it cost.
Cheers
Dave.

also if you want re-connectable splits in the pipe you can do this with small JG-speedfit pushfit connectors, i.e. I have the 44ft pole but like pylofm i use it 99% of the time at 24ft ( 4xsections ) so to save having all the extra internal hose dragging about i split it with the said connectors & just add it back on when i use it at full length. I also do this at the brush end.
