I've got the clx 18 and its a cracking pole

previously i had used fg extel and hydra alloys.... this beats them hands down

very light too... obviously the slx is lighter being 100% cf, but if your used to fibre glass poles you will appreciate the clx alot

Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

i have a 35foot extell hydryd thats strong at full height.  i except the clx will be strong to.  i am down sizing from 21(24)foot for an every day pole i dont use all that any way theres another 2 on the van if needed (on last legs tho, im so tight sometime before if i couldnt screw the clamp nor more i used to discard it, now i get the plyers and screw from other end of screw, adds months on to pole)

I have the CLX-27,.. seriously impressive pole for the money. The SLX is obviously more rigid, but the CLX is only a fraction heavier and its half the price!

whatch out for clever marketing mate, sellers will twist the facts
it can never be 50% or 100%
ive got a friend who works with carbon fibre
and he says its nearly allways 30% resin to hold the carbon fibre
so your clx can only be 35% carbon fibre maximum
price of the carbon fibre is done on the quality of carbon fibre
more than just the carbon fibre content

As the title of this post is regarding one of our products we thought it would be OK to comment.

For the record with our 'CL-X™ Carbon Composite Pole' the telescopic sections have 50% fibre glass cloth and 50% carbon fibre cloth. This is stated as some 'hybrid' poles in reality are nearer 25% Carbon 75% Fibre Glass. We would agree that quality of cloth is very important which is why we source our carbon cloth from one of the most respected producers in the world.

We strive to keep the price at the current level by keeping manufacturing efficient and our margins low. We also pride ourselves on our honesty and try to present products exactly as they are.

aerial brush cleans sills in 2 strokes
without the brush stock touching the sills
and its a very light brush
cleans the glass just as quick  8)

You have to realise that gardiners are competition to Alex because he works for tecbuk or aerial brush so he is going to try and slate gardiners.
