I had one once, nice and light but the sections keep pulling apart all parts are replacable which is good but the clamps are very arkward.

Try and find out if the pole is the same dimensions (girth/diameter/width of pole) as the Tucker poles. If it is then you could fit Tucker's DIY Pennel clamp kit (approx £100) to make extending and collapsing the pole much easier. The Tucker pennel clamp's are a big improvement on the original worm gear clamps similar to those picture on the pole shown in your pic above. It's worth considering if same diameters as Tuckers.

i have one of these alluminium poles exactly the same as in picture, 45ft length. Its good, its abit awkward with the clamps but if you set them up right- its only about 2-3 turns to clamp it, a little fiddly but strong poles and what im doing is taking it in 3 sections of several sections, depending on the job you can just fit them back together, but its pretty good and strong and light with 3 or 4 sections, a little harder to manage with all the sections but once you get it up if doing high windows its not very bad at all. i find it better having the hose velcroed along the outside for changing / taking out sections- the goose neck is very strong and the brush is very good- the pencil jets are pretty powerful, would have preffered spray jets, but then again would have preffered a superlight 2 !
its good - there are a few cheaper on ebay... from stream.
i would say good for high work, i would prefer it on low work but the brush head is quite big- good for conservatories... you can oft for a smaller brush on the ebay ones.
i would definately get a superlight 2 next time, carbon fibre or fiberglass, fiberglass flexes much more, aluminium doesnt flex as much but is harder to lift up and down to the windows. nice and strong anyway.
