super-lite daily use
« on: February 01, 2009, 08:01:42 pm »
i know you can pack the sections inside one another after use, but if you use it for all your work surley you dont do this, and while on a job, are all the sections on the ground next to you, handy for adding on sections, or do you go back and forth to the van if you are one section short, am realy couriouse how you work with a modular pole,

I don't have a SL" but I have a Zenzorflex. Gangster and F16 with 2 added sections which take it to 45 ft, plus my reach.

You just get used to what you need to pull out of the van.. I am mainly domestic. I never pack sections inside each other. Mind u my F16 has a dedicated bag that it came with.

Get a zenzorflex (£19) and try it, I only use modular now, mainly my gangster but learnt on the zenzor flex. 

Plus importantly a very light brush. I have a supalite dual trim original.

I carry mine in a golf bag that has extending legs so that when you put the base on the ground the two legs swing out and form a tri-pod. I then pull out the required sections.
It's a game of three halves!

paul i work with telecopic poles, and some days can be hectic, and i am imagining running about looking for  all  the  diffrent sections to add on and take of if i was to buy one, i know they are half the weight, but would it make up for time,

Stack mine inside each other and restack whilst i break the pole down then zip the bag shut. Dead easy but i wouldn't part with that kind of money for daily residential use.

Personally I would never use my Super-Lite on domestic and fiddly work, that's what I use telescopics for. On commercial work it is a lot easier as you are doing large section at a time and usually place all the unwanted sections at the same spot on the building, either in the holdall or propped carefully. End of the job just collect them from the one spot.

After a few days you get used to it. There are pros and cons to everything. I have only been WFP for 14 months, the last 4 maybe more with poles. Myself, I find they are better. No clamps to mess about with and much, much  lighter. If you are interested just try it. It is only £19 max for a Zenzorflex. I myself love them. Other people don't. The F16 is really light

yes thats what i thought alex, but more and more are using them for domestic, maybe for there own personal use, like a bad back or neck pains, there could be other reasons,
