Title: wfp evryday poles
Post by: seandyer2003 on August 10, 2008, 12:40:05 pm: This question has probably been done to death, but i will ask anyway :)
What is the verdict on the best pole for doing up/down on standard domestic work day in and day out, ive got one that came with my system but it has been used heavily and due to pack in, got gaffer tape all over it!! So want something reasonably priced as its gonna get hammered, but good quality, i dont really know much when it comes to wfp as im new to it, its been a steep learning curve!

Post by: seandyer2003 on August 10, 2008, 03:48:19 pm: slx looks the business, but does it last because when you can get a pole for £80 why pay the extra, i cant see the difference in weight between 1.5 kg or 2 kg being that much of a problem, maybe if they were 60 ft not 18?

As far as i'm aware this is only for manufacturing defects & nothing else.

So, it's very unlikely to happen & even harder to prove IMO.
