I ordered one on Friday.
I needed a pole of this length for some odd jobs I need to do. I did look at the SLX35 but I couldn't justify that expense at the moment given the few times it will be used.
A friend of mine got the same pole from Brodex last year when they were on offer. It is a heavy beast and to be honest he has had to fix it a couple of times- but then, I don't think he has looked after it that well.
I won't even keep it in the van- just take it with me on the occasions needed.
But all things considered, for £136 delivered with brush and pole hose I think it's a real bargain.
