Awkward conny roof done friday,clx was out for the windows of an adjoining barn conversion so hooked up the brodex 18 ft alloy and vikan sill brush to the customers tap for the conservatory roof.. Fine for up and down the roof but as soon as i got to the finials and the awkward bits around the back i wished i had bothered with changing a few connectors and used the clx,am still aching in places. Rinsed with the clx and superlite DT 15 degree splay and so an immediate comparison was made. Conclusion,1 hardly used Vikan Sill brush and Brodex 18 ft alloy for sale. I nearly bust it up there and then so i wouldn`t be daft enough to use it again. What a massive massive difference and the superlite loses nothing in performance to the vikan sill brush and its 9 million times easier to use. Bought the sill brush after hearing rave reviews on here,obviously by goliath impersonators. Superlite DT 15 degree great brush and for sills i take 2 steps back to change the angle and hold the pole more aloft.
The phrase "You dont need a sledgehammer to crack a nut kept coming to mind".
I have a 30ft Unger optiloc which was used for conny roofs,gutters etc before i got clued in on wfp gear and before i got my hands on a clx the Brodex seemed a great improvement. I had a Brodex 36ft carbon modular and that was superbly light and rigid but not practical for everyday use so i sold it unused.I would have an SLX tommorrow if they knocked them out at £10 a week.
Using the heavy gear all day every day will almost certainly be something you will regret,in fact i might start a thread now to see if theres any common ailments from long term wfp use.
