Hi im focusing more on domestic now, 3bed semis etc. I need a pole thats light and easy to use and easy to set up?
I was thinking of the superlites but they have to be put together in sections? and sound very breakable.
Is the preditor a good choice? I do have a 60ft facelift i've took alot of sections out to make it about 25=30ft but the sections are too long to use easily.
Oh yeah, 18ft should be more than enough.
-
well i have just bought a extender pole, was cheap and everyone will say theyre crap, but its very light and easy to use...
-
There CRAP.LOL

lol

I new you`d like that LWC.
-
hehe, all getting to know me well!! :P ;D

;D
I have been using an 18ft Extender for the past 6-7 weeks and I'm really happy with it. I only hope it lasts a while. I wouldn't have a problem with needing to chop it in after 6 months as they seem fairly cheap. I needed to switch to something lighter as my shoulder was playing up and this has helped a lot.
They probably are crap but I would rather have a crap pole than a crap shoulder.

what does lol stand for?
-
24 (6x4ft sections) of a 'Tucker' pole with pennel clamps is ideal for domestic work.

Posted this on an earlier thread. Bought this pole from Wintecs, not for any specific reason and ended up converting it to wfp, cost about £30, have since added a tap to the pole. This pole is a star its light, fairly rigid and an absolute joy to use. You don't always have to spend hundreds to get something to do a specific job.

HMMMM was you levitating when you took that picture?

My favourite pole that I use the most is an 18' extender pole fitted with a Gazza brush.
I have several 18' poles and 24' poles, But the extender is the lightest, the cheapest. The Gazza brush makes all the diffrence because of its lightweight it takes a lot of the flexing away that you will find with a vikan brush.
The predator is good but its not as light or the pole as slim as the extender.
This is my second 18' extender and I feel the benift on my arms over a days use then any other pole or brush combination I have.
The amazing thing is that its cheap. My first one lasted a year and this one I have had 6 months, It should last me to the end of the year.

Neil is your Gaz brush the crinkley monofilament type?
-
Yes.
They are the two blue brushes in the little pic.
They are the lighter weight ones that he sells.

I got the gaz (not lightweight) and it weight the same as a vikan rectangular so no benefit there, tried out the gaz lightweight (the one neils on about) and it's very good, even on the same pole at 20ft over conservatories etc the difference in weight between the 2 brushes is massive.
So get the wrong brush and a lightweight pole and you wont be much better off.

Preditor poles by Brodex are good.
If you find the brush head a bit too heavy drill lots of holes in it, done carefully you can reduce the weight by 50%
