we have spoken to one guy who had one and he reckoned it had worn enough for the sections to slide after only six weeks, i believe alex did sort it out for him but still makes you wonder how long it will last with regular daily use
Hi.
I am the guy who had a problem with the slx after 6 weeks.
I was ajusting the clamp as it wore (last section was slipping) and with in 6 weeks I was not using the last section.
Now the pole was not cheap and all the write ups have been brilliant so I emailed Alex and told him of the problem. Alex asked me to send some photos of the clamps and after his inspection of them, he arranged for the pole to be collected  repaired and re-delivered.
In the manufactoring proccess the poles are part machine made and part hand finnished, mine had not got the right gap in the carbon for ajustment.
Alex offered me a loan pole while mine was away, but mine was collected, repaired and returned within 48 hours.
As I've said the pole was not cheap but but comes with fantastic customer service.
That said I now only use it for second story work and have gone back to my 17' xtel pole.

Kev (sorry for the delay)
I suppose I have lost a little confidence in it.
I am mainly domestic and the xtel gets to most of my work. The slx is a great tool to keep in the van for certain properties.
If you can afford one, buy one. It will replace the pole you currently use for second story work, its light and stiff and with the limited use that I now use mine should last me years.

Indeed, already earned me well over 10x it's worth.  ;)

and if you had brought a pole half the price it would have givin you 20x it's worth

Your missing the point, people complain about the high price, but fail to see how much money it can make them for relatively little cost.
