My mate purchased one of these from wcw last week.

I always said unger dropped a clanger with that hideous modular pole, they've missed a real oppertunity in the market & it seems they are now trying to climb out of a big hole. :-\

"The best tools can prove costly. A solution to this is a more compact and affordable version such as the six section HiFlo Carbon Tec waterfed pole system from Unger. The new six section kit boasts a max height of 9 metres(29ft) and further sections can be purchased as and when required, adding 1.5m in length each time and attaining max height of 15 metres. Supplied in a nylon gear bag." etc etc

The pole in the link is exactly the same as the xtels glassfibre and hybrids, same clamps etc etc and with a brush that looks identical to the vikan mono. Are unger stuck in the past? You would think they could come up with something a little better! Luke

And what a rip off, the glassfibre 17ft is £115 compared with £65 at Gardiners!!!!!!!!

Heres the pictures and link for the new modular Unger Hi Flo Carbontec - no I aint getting paid :) not the glassfibre ones.

'Unger' should take a leaf out of 'Tucker's' book and re-vamp the Hi-Flow Carbon Tec poles.
Tucker poles are much better now that they are fitted with 'pennel' clamps instead of 'worm gear' clamps so why can't Unger do something similar with their Hi-Flow poles.
Ungers pole has a heavy on/off tap connection which weighs 1kg which could and should have been made from aluminium not steel and the same applies to all the screw together connections at the top and bottom of each section.
If they were made of aluminium it would be a wickedly strong, rigid and light-ish pole that would give the 'new Supalite' pole from Gardiners a run for it's money.

You needed telling that (d)Unger are a rip off? :o
Poorest quality tools and some of the highest prices.
