12m of carbon fibre 50mm poles are going to cost me £511. If I can order 50 or more I will get a 5% discount.

They are 2m in length with a bonded sleeve for connection.


Im ordering 6 anyone interested?

I used to use a 1500watt lidl vac. It was ok except for the hose that came with it. It was only 30 odd mm and got blocked quite often. The 2400 still does from time to time but not nearly so often.
