I never got a hat or hose cutter......

Got my clx today. Unfortunate the wizards at Gardiners forgot to put the same nut to tighten the resineck that the xtel pole uses. Instead they put in a spare lever for the pole so I worked all day with the broken xtel.

Just after I finished work though I called Gardiners to send the correct xtel nut for my Gardiners clx. That was when they told me that the "spare" lever that when I looked closely didn't actually look like a pole clamp lever at all was in fact the thing that locked the resineck. Seriously, you would think they would make their poles idiot proof wouldn't you.

Anyway, I have now assembled it and it feels light and smooth to use. The brush feels to light to work properly, but I will try it in a bit on my own windows. Just "making pure" ready for it. Couldn't start it this morning as the tds was up to 16 because the pre filters are done for.

Compared to the xtel, it is so smooth to use. The brush is brilliant. The bristles splay perfectly for getting into corners. I've never ben able to get rid of spider eggs so easily.

Do you mean the clamps? If so, I reckon it's just a by-product of frequent opening and closing. My xtel pole was the same, but every time I needed to adjust them I had to get a screwdriver from the van. The result was that I was forever dealing with loose sections. I don't want to join the moustachioed one's fanclub, but having the ability to adjust quickly is a vast improvement on the xtel pole.

1 other trick is to put some ptfe tape around the thread on each clamp,ive just done mine today on both my poles because i got fed up with mine having to tighten them all the time,shall see how it goes tomoz.
