Are the Brodex Hydra any good ?

[clean]

Which ones ? theres 3, carbon,alloy and fibreglass i have a 57ft carbon and a 31ft alloy i like the carbon its pretty rigid and light for a telescpoic pole and can be taken apart im ok with the alloy but dont reccomend it at 31ft its a bit bendy

[adixon]

oh yes   i got the 18ft and put a superlite brush on the end, good quality 3yr guarantee and i dont think you can knock the price at all its reasonably light at 1.8kg and its pretty rigid will buy again for sure

cookie monster is it bendy just because its fully extended
i was thinking of getting the 35ft for some 30ft work was hoping not fully extended would be fine

Ive never had the glass fibre ones but i`m sure there must a reason why they are so cheap  :

you do need to extend the sections as they are quite short i would pay extra for the carbon

I have a couple of these poles and seem quite good apart from the clamps, but I was talking to brodex at the show and was told that they have now changed the clamps on new poles.
He also said that they will replace any poles with the old clamps that have come unglued

Ive got the 25, 18 & 7 foot brodex hydra alloy poles Dave.

My peronal opinion is they are cracking especially for the price. Im quite heavy handed with my poles, these things will last though.

Could see them being a great pole for employee's too.

I have been using the hydra alloy pole (25ft one) for a week now and find it an excellent pole strong and robust, no one is going to damage this pole.

Don’t get brodex’s goosenecks they are rubbish and the only brush that fits properly is there own which is also rubbish!! I put a superlight on with the plastic angle adaptor, now perfect.

It’s not the lightest pole in the world but ok for everyday work.

Ye the glass fibre ones were the first in their Hydra range and as far as i know they were`nt too good hence the big clearance price drop

[prestigeclean]

spend the extra on the alloy , i had the 18 and 26 ft f/g and they don,t last long before they start spinning , the alloys are excellent for the money and you don,t need to treat them like a baby regards alan

Spot on! Cracking poles, worth every penny.

[Martin ccs]

i have the 30 ish ft pole - alloy hydra.

gooseneck is rubbish and clamps are not the best but it is still a great pole!

think most poles have their neg n pos points.

i bought the 30ft alloy n got the 7ft alloy for free £190 inc vat n del - good price.

stuart is spot on with his post
