whats the price gap between a bulldog 35 quid and a proper pole? a lot of people on here rated them quite highly for regular work. i have an x line pole got it 2nd hand but not used just dont know how much it cost new, not heav at all put jus p eed off at how short a poles life span seems to be as u can see it is alrady wearing like my last one with every section open and close motion. are expensive ones prone to serious wear too? i would hate to spend £400 etc on a decent pole and replace it every 6 - 12 months, is that the case?

What a silly thing to say. i have their bulldog poles and rate them as very good for everyday domestic use, if they where out then its a disposable pole at that price. they are very light and easy to use. we use gardiners superlight flocked brush head which is fantastic.

I wouldnt hand my staff a 4 or £500.00 pole for them to break within 6 months!
