Just got off the phone to tackle saver about the 11m carbon Signal pole .
Told the guy i didnt want the top kits and he said to be honest mate your only looking at a fiver off. Told him anything was better than nothing.
He then said he would charge me full price, but knock the postage off which is £6.99.
£7 discount ;D 8) :P

can these be adapted to be extendable rather than modular?

Hey guys, sorry forgot to update.
The pole is so much lighter compared to the FG pole.
Its a bit tricky at the moment as I've never used a modular pole before, but it works and works well.
I think its a case of getting used to it.
I don't think it could be modified to a telescopic pole.
Ill do another update at the end of next week when its had a solid 4 days use. Well I'm only planning on using it on the houses I can't reach with my harris.

glad your getting on all right with the mod
did you know you can add your modular to the harris :o 8)

Tell me more mike

mod poles do take some getting used to
i got used to it after a few days, it became the norm
but then again i only have 3 sections and 1 is attached to the brush

There is a way of adapting these, but they tend to lock up when wet, or collapse. So they are not there yet.

for purists only I am afraid.

Matt... Did you glue your sections together in pairs ?

yes
it works a treat, i couldnt be doing with finding each section
then i color matched a wrap of tape on each

well i will probably be run off the forum for this ;D
but here goes
i was doing a job recently, and could not quite reach 2 windows,with mod
so i got the harris out , extended the first section
and fitted it up the last modular section :o
if that makes any sense to you
it got the job done no probs , and saves me buying a bigger pole 8) ;D ;D

Nothing wrong with that mate, I use the Harris with an unger number one section on the top, and an unger number 5 on the bottom.
For those of you that still have the old Unger teleplus pole it's ideal.
I used this on a load of town houses the other day, rather than fiddle with the SL2 in sections.

what length have you managed to get from the original 11m ?
thanks
