sorry, maybe my post was a little to general - I have had a couple of the facelift poles in to repair (not supplied by us), both poles had broken a clamp (top clamp on one and 3rd clamp on another), anyway, while they are light poles, they certainly didn't seem to be that strong, both customers had brought the poles to me to replace the clamps for standard pole clamps, took a little bit of work to change them but we got it done both times. I really didn't feel like the poles were worth anything near what they cost - we had previously debated stocking them - we won't now, on examination we don't feel they are worth the money and I certainly don't feel they compare to the Brodex range we stock, hence why we stock the brodex poles and not the facelift.
Don't get me wrong, the facelift is a good pole, way better than exel universal, but not nearly as good as the Brodex range in terms of quality or value for money.
Please don't take offence at this as I'm not disputing how good the facelift poles are - just feel that for the money you don't get a lot.
Sorry.
