Good offer on at brodex at the moment, 36ft Hydra Alloy Pole for £128, if nobody's used these before they are excellent aluminium poles that have a 3 year guarantee on them, it's all we use now.

[Lee GLS]

what are they like for rigidity?

[window11]

i got that pole, i paid around 300 all in when i got it,

im placing an order on monday for one more.

good pole, clamps ect, light for the size.

[dazmond]

i have the hydra alloy 25footer and its very robust and rigid.great for some of my bigger houses and commercial.a tad too heavy for normal domestics though with a collapsed length of over 6ft.

 the 36 footer i bet is great for some higher stuff.i have nt the work to warrant getting one at the moment.

for normal domestics gardiners poles win everytime IMO.

i am tempted to get one though as you never know when ill get a bigger job thatll be too high for my 25footer.

3 years my arsse,I will never buy from them again

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

I would ask them EXACTLY what the 3 year warranty covers. There was a guy on here a while back & he had a few of these poles. His sections were bending & Brodex didn't want to know apparently.

If you like a good workout or are a glutton for punishment then these are a real bargain!

i used to say they were a great pole and i bought 2 25 footers and a 36 footer , the clamps are absolute rubbish and the top section bent on all mine after a while to fair to brodex they did send me a replacement for the 36 but some of the clamps on that are now u/s , can,t use any of them now so beware regards alan

[dazmond]

clamps on most poles are crap to be fair!the brodex ones dont seem to be that good though.i only use my pole a few times a week as my 22ft clx covers big chunks of my work so ive had no issues with the clamps as of yet.


the poles are not useless mate just buy a few clamps and theyll be up and running again!!


i prefer the extra weight esp at full stretch when its a bit windy!!feels more solid and robust and i can scrub better!!

I agree im surprised people are buying them i thoght they rubbish they were unusuable within 2 months and they didnt wanna know. let us know if there any good as they may have upgraded there poles.

[wezzy32]

i had a problem with pole from brodex phoned them up and they said yes send it back to us and if its our fault will replace broken parts i said what about postage they said u have to pay for that how long for it to be returned about a week they said.so i now will only buy local and not a distants has its to much trouble

[barry mallett]

just clamp some scaffold poles together . same weight  but cheaper
