I have a 35ft alloy pole that is older than gods dog. Its that heavy that i got it up to a first floor window with the intention of going to the 3rd floor and gave up just going past the 1st floor.

No name on it, just heavy and alloy ... might take it up the scrap yard and weigh it in ... could probably get enough money for it to buy an extreme ;D

i have the full 5 section 10m pole from unger (teleplus).its the same as the one peter fogwill supplies with his systems.its actually a 30ft pole GOLD!!

IT WEIGHS A TON AND IS VERY WHIPPY EVEN WITH A SUPALITE ON THE END!!

i use the 3 section (18ft) as a trad pole for a few jobs but the other 2 sections were a waste of money as ive never used them!!cant see me using them either!! ;D ;D

ill keep em just in case i get an inside commercial job with high windows!! ;D ;D

Not sure about 36foot but heres what I was using yesterday big black Brodex dinosaur think its about 50 or 60ft when fully extended.

Comes complete with Vikan brush as well .... forget about rinsing off the glass !




Using it yesterday with all lengths open bar 1.


Mike Camm and Bob Plumb can tell yer how heavy it is as they've borrowed it  :o :o

Its owner has taken it back off me so need to replace with something else.
