Can you imagine working with these? They are produced down here in South Africa were I live, Popeye arms in no time, and probably a wheelchair soon after. Dont think they will be doing much exporting to you guys.

I will carry on with my SL-2 thank you

Very much so, I now live in a golf estate, and 85% of my customers are on my door step.  Mountains of work to be had here, which is why I now sell WFP equipment.
Joburg is a very busy place and a traffic nightmare, so the scope is imence.
Thinking of opening a window cleaning school, the goverment love that kind of thing.

Imagine using the 30 footer,  you'll need sandbags on your feet, is that the weight with or without the water travelling up it. Will have to watch at least 10 porn films before lifting that mother.......laters

You're not wrong. I've had 2 work for me and both could and would keep going all day long which was some doing for our 1st SA because he had to use the Omnipole. As good as it is boy does that get heavy after a short while.
