Hi guys has anyone used or know someone who can review this pole because at £115 it looks like a good pole. any help greatfully recieved
-
A very good pole.Robust and durable and a great price.Not the most rigid of poles because it is 4 sections but perfectly ok.If you do order 1 make sure that the jets are 1 or 2 mil,they forgot mine!!!!!Personally i dont really like the pole hose as it is almost the same as microbore and i like to pinch mine to stop water flow and this makes it hard to do!

cheers steve i am using sl-x at the moment but the clamps are not so good these days i know there is a clamp upgrade but it got me thinking about what pole i might go for next as £368 to replace is a bridge to far these days ::)
i know the other options are to buy new sections but i will have to see if its viable in the long run but £115 the hydra did look a real bargin :) i was wondering about how rigid it was they have a 1-5 scale 5 being bendy 1 being extremely rigid the hydra was rated as a 2 is this accurate ?

ive been using poles for 6 years and bought 2 18ft of brodex last week.
2 of my lads said they were excellent.
I used today and got to say it must be the best value for money pole on the market.
£115 for 18ft alloy pole is a massive statement from brodex and its about time a company brought poles down to a reasonable price.............
10/10 buy while they have them.

really good to hear expecting my 18ft hydra by wednesday some people have slagged them of a bit saying there to heavy and to long when collapsed 6ft my 24ft hxtel is 6ft 5" when collapsed should be ok i reckon 3 year warranty as well cant be bad

I went for the 31ft with the alloy gooseneck, it's great for 3 storey work and windows over big extensions etc.
Just the right amount of flex to move it over the glass, very little bend. The hose is a pig though, it's quite thick reinforced stuff, very stiff.

i,ve got 2 of the 24ft hydra alloy poles and they are rigid and easy to use , i will be buying the 36ft when they are in stock , the only problem is the clamps come loose so need re glueing , apart from that they are great poles and the price is spot on , buy one you won,t regret it regards alan
-
got18 ft just orderd 25 ft grate poles ,both will be used for99% of work
-
We've got three 18 footers. Only gripe: on one of them all three clamps came loose - hardly any glue on them. A good smear of Araldite and everythings fine.
My lads are a moany lot, so I reckon these must be brilliant because not one of them has come back to have a moan about them ;D ;D
-
yes got the 25 alloy with a super lite. great buy would buy another no problem.
my mate has the 18 and says best pole he has had for the money.
-
I got a 31ft second hand one last week it was 1 month old paid £100 for it,it`s a good pole but can be a bit bendy when fully extended but quite light to work with
-
Glad your happy with it cookie!
-
one problem the gardiners gooseneck is to big to fit on the brodex pole collar
-

i picked up a brodex carbon little while ago and it felt like a good pole and relatively light. do they carry the 3 year guarentee with it as well?
sorry for hijacking the post. :-[

No you only get 1 year guarantee with the carbon poles

Got the 36' Hydra pole, it's an excellent all round pole as you can simple slip off the bottom sections to turn it into a 30', 24' or 18' pole when you require. We've been running it as a 24' pole as standard and adding the extra sections when needed. Think it cost us £195
-
My no1 section clamp came off as well!!!!All i did was get i piece of string and as i pushed it back onto the section i put the string on as well .this jammed the section on tight and has not come off since.(i did this as a temporary measure to carry on working but has turned out to be a near permanent solution!!!)
