Its a fantastic pole - enjoy ;D

Also when taking the pole apart and using it as 36 ft do they do a protection part for the bottom of the pole?

yes, you can buy a rubber base protector for any section of the pole.

Pylofm, how are you getting on with the mono-fil' vikan? (i think it was you)

The screw threads don't match.

I did it by drilling a small guide hole through the brush screw thread bit onto the gooseneck and putting a screw in there. It works!

Post by: pylofm on May 03, 2007, 10:09:33 pm: Macmac & Tosh...I have a Vikan monofiliment brush and have to say that I am very pleased with it...enough bristles to get the job done and not too many as to get in the way of a nice flow of water ....bits flick out of it nice and easy....

So yes I am happy with it...... ;D ;D ;D

Post by: john tomkins on May 03, 2007, 10:53:48 pm: Just out of interest, do you know the weight of the vikan mono? I'm sure my oval flocked is about 16 oz, just wondered how much less the mono is.
