Has anyone got any good ideas how to extend the plastic goosenecks, or where to buy a longer version of the plastic ones as i like the adjustment

i find if cleaning windows with a large ish window sill i have trouble reaching the bottom of the window

Talk to varitech (newton Abbot). They sell extendable sections to go on the end of the plastic gooseneck. I've just bought some connections from them as I want to extend my SL-X pole by 6-12ft using these type of screw in sections.

can you not put 2 or even 3 plastic goosenecks together, I use 2 and angle only the lower one if  there is a deep sill

I'm using these connections (they fit one inside the other) both at opposing ends on a 6ft pole to extend my Gardiners SL-X pole (not the gooseneck), so I can reach higher :)

the electric window cleaner - i was thinking of doing 2 sizes, a 1-2 foot long one to go over those large sills and another around 6 inches for every day use


dave - i thought about that,does it work ok, does it bend a lot?
