SLX or XTREME pole for my wife?
« on: April 22, 2015, 08:07:24 pm »
Would and SLX 22 be light enough or is it worth re-mortgaging the house to buy the Xtreme? I want to get something light enough for my wife to use daily, getting over conservatories etc... Thanks

When my wife was working with me I had a clx 18 which she used and was good for 90% of the houses. On some of the higher houses or those with particularly large conservatories or extensions she used a slx 35, a much heavier pole but because she was only using it every now and again she was comfortable with it.

Wor Lass uses an SLX 18 without any problems.  She's eight-and-a-half stone wet.  But any awkward reaches, I do; I just work out what's difficult and what's not and calculate who does what.

We've been working together for years now and when we pull up to places, we just get organised without even thinking about it.

Ideally no-one should be waiting for the other to finish; one of us will finish first, reel in, knock for the money or put chits through letter boxes while the other is just finishing and reeling in.  So we finish at the same time and move onto the next block of work.

I did last year.
My SLX earned me substantially more than my extreme.
That's just my round though.

I work on Redrow houses all day with my 18 and never have to get my supermax out at all for any normal Conny 
I wouldn't dream of using  a 25 all day every day
