Just got a new slx 18, does me for about 90% of my work now.  Soldier on with a slx 25 for the rest of the work. Been meaning to buy an extreme for ages..... but the price of them given its only going to last a year at best....maybe it would make more sense just to slowly drop higher work and become a 100% 18ft. Would certainly make life a lot easier the bigger jobs take it out of me these days.
Stoots, I swear I could've wrote most of your posts myself! I've told you before you must be my long lost twin or something!!

Loving this brush/jet combo!

I'm well equipped to smash through my workloads!😎👍🙂🌞

I always order the close couple jet hose assembly with every brush I buy.

Yeah I should of bought the close coupled so it's neat and tidy.....

Just ordered 2 sets and a new 45degree carbon gooseneck too as mine is a bit worse for wear especially on a new pole!😄👍
price higher/work harder!

Have you not fitted the long scraper yet? I ran with my new 18 Extreme today and long scraper on behind brush. Great, much better than the short scraper combo. Raced through my cleaning this morning and trousered well over 2 ton. I would advise anyone, if they can afford it, to buy this setup, I like the red jets but the scraper can save a fair bit of time I have noticed.

I only use the long scraper on one run of work(4 days worth)where the bee spots are off the scale. Its a good scraper but i find it can be a hindrance when cleaning certain types of windows in tight frames/surrounds,etc.

Most of my other work i can clean to a good standard without the need for a scraper/scourer.

Been meaning to buy an extreme for ages..... but the price of them given its only going to last a year at best....maybe it would make more sense just to slowly drop higher work and become a 100% 18ft. Would certainly make life a lot easier the bigger jobs take it out of me these days.

The trouble I find is that the older I get, the heavier my daily pole gets.  ;D
So if you experience the same symptoms as I do, then there will come a time when your SLX18 will be too heavy for you.

Exactly, bought a new slx last year and couldn't believe how heavy it was compared to the Extreme. I get tennis elbow alot and it happens around Wimbledon time, bizarre.

Spruce do you not do any strength training whatsoever? It's even more important at your age. Its never too late to start my friend.
