[Sir Squeaky]

I had yet another pole snap on me today, this time on the connection, so no way of mending it.
It's taped up and splitting on every section anyway.

Think I might pop out tonight and get a Harris pole.
Shouldn't be too hard to bung a brush on the end.
For the higher jobs I'm hoping I can wedge a couple of big modular pieces on the end...

Question is...where do I get one?

Do I have to go to B&Q (in Newport, nearly 20 miles away), or do they have them in Homebase (in our town)?

Squeaks,
ring them first. 20 miles is a long way to travel if they are out of stock.

Won't be able to get one tonight, so it'll have to go on some other how!

I get mine from Bristol B&Q, and Scrimmy is spot on with those adapter things.  They're class!

Look on u tube for the vid that WW did on the harris pole conversion.
Just cut the end off of a brush handle and fit it inside of the first section of the harris pole.

[Sir Squeaky]

Yeah, cheers. I'm sure I bodge something together, I always do!

[Tom White]

Nah, just hacksaw the end off the Harris, wrap two turns of gaffer tape round it, and Scrimmy's adapter just slots over it.  I reckon I can do it under two minutes.

And then you can just slip the brush head off, and put it on a shorter or longer pole; depending on what you're doing.

Yeah but I haven't got one you goon!
Unless I can patch up the carbon pole any more I'll need it for work tomorrow.

Broomhandle down the end - job done. Just make sure it's the bentley variety that fits Vikans and Superlights.

Got one in my van doing nothing - horrible thing with horrible clamps horrible waste of fifteen pounds.  :

Really? What's wrong with it then?

As it is I managed to feed one section of my broken pole through the next section and tape it up and it'll do until I get something else. Bit shorter though!

I'll lend you my fishing poles if you're nice to me! I'm feeling rather horny now.

The clamps on the harris pole are some of the best clamps I have ever used, although I normally use my harris pole clampless for speed!!

I can't believe your admitting to getting a harris pole Sqeaky after all the stick you gave me in the past about my harris pole!!!!

To be fair Groundhog, the harris pole clamps are not the best in the world, and are a right cow when they lock up, but for £15 you can't complain 

[HIGH LEVEL WINDOW CLEANERS (scrimmy)]

why do you want to pay an  £8  for something you dont need ..when you can just heat it up..
the point is to make a cheap pole....

i can do them cheaper if you like.....how much do you wanna pay?......remember i have a wife and no kids to look after
