Although this would have a long closed length has anyone done it?

I use 17ft poles all day bu I have a few places where i have to get the superlite out for one window that i cant reach and it really does my nut in puttin all poles together then putting it all away again. I just want something cheap i can grab to do them.

Ive got all the spares to do it, and i have done loads of harris poles, so is this the same thing as harris but longer?

i have one, its not been converted its just used as a trad pole. And yes its exactly the same as a Harris, only taller. I would say you could convert it exactly the same as one.

Blimey aint seen one of them for 15 years, its an old evergreen classic Unger.Are they being re-introduced ?  problem with them was they are long to store and you cannot reach the collars. Heavy but a good price.

I bought one of these years ago (pre wfp) Don't think I ever used it, and have no idea where it went!    But as Jeff said its a good price, and it should be ok for occaissional use.

I've just remembered why I hardly used my 30ft unger... the clamps were a nightmare!!!

Yeah,I had one of these a few years back but it was the Unger make,I think this one on Ebay is a copy of Unger and I found the little thread things on the cone clamp part wore down very quickly,there was four to each clamp,mind you I paid over double for a 33 foot pole like this one,I reckon it's a good buy for the occasional higher work but I would'nt use this pole everyday as the clamps will wear down very quickly and stick but you can replace the thread pieces easily,there is a bloke called Kirky on another forum and he swears by the Unger poles he has converted but each to their own.

Got one myself years ago,hardly used it all,too heavy and like Jeff
Brimble mentioned,too long to store etc.
Regarding the 4 `prong`clamp `thingies`wearing etc,I went last week
To the local area Ionics road show near Leeds.
They were demonstrating their carbon fiber `Grafter`and `Glyder`poles.
The transverse clamps complete,has anyone tried,or do they fit the Unger
Tele-Plus or Opti-Loc poles ?
The aluminium sections of the Unger may not `nip up`like the Glider or
Grafter,possibly,possibly not.
Jeff,or any members what do ya think.

Thanks for replies.

Yeh i see what your saying about the clamps being out of way...but surely gotta be a hell of a lot quicker than me puttin my supalite together. As i said it aint for all day use, its for occasional here and there jobs.

Cheers chaps, will get one i think at that price.

Yeah,good price
