We have 5 new ranges coming out this year alone, so the choice is widening.

Could someone please summarize the key features of these different poles to make it clear what the differences are.

(I'm just being lazy not searching through old posts but I think this would help others like myself.)

Thanks

Can't help thinking these light pole are a bit sissy. I just couldn't scrub hard enough. I actually prefer a bit of weight.

Be very careful when shutting windows from the outside with a carbon fibre pole - lots of gentle taps rather than one hard shove (snap!)

dont know what pole you're using malc, but not with a carbon facelift, i do it all the time, even bend the pole through some iron railings (balcony) to get to one window. ;)

let me just add my tuppence worth about WFP , these poles are all very similiar in weight , it is strengh and availability in sections that you are looking for . I bought my maver resolution 40ft supalite from the anglers emporium in hamilton , the guy stocks spares sections and if you cant collect he can send them next day delivery, which is crucial if you depend on a tool for your income , ie i snapped my butt section in the van door and he had one there for me even after closing time , and he is open and can talk to him  7 days a week ,

 His level of service is second to none and this doesnt come at a cost , i only paid £399 for my 40ft supalite maver resolutionand it comes with brush, gooseneck, hose etc and picked it up same day, ps he even got my broken section repaired and back to me in 5 days,  ;D,

if you want service , quality  with a price you cant beat , give him a shout , his no. is 01698 283903, tell him bert put you onto him!!
