Title: Which Trad Pole
Post by: Mike55 on September 30, 2009, 05:31:08 pm

Hi wondered which trad pole you guys use and whether you can recommend one? 

Need to purchase one and would prefer to get something decent rather than some flimsey rubbish.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Hi,

Ettore pro grip handle does not fit tight on harris pole. I presume same for Unger.

Do you find your pulex pole strong enough?

I used a two section 2m pulex pole before and found it a bit bendy when near fully extended.  Couldn't get any sort of finish on the window at all.

I like my Harris pole.  Some handles don't fit the end, you can unscrew the black plastic tapered end for some and also shaving down the plastic tapered end allows other handles (like Wagtail) to fit like that.  For £15 it's excellent.
