predator pole
« on: January 04, 2007, 11:11:01 pm »
we have recently bought a couple of the above to replace poles that we bought from gardiner( ithink they were elite) the problem is our old poles had gardiners aluminium goosneck attached, to buy a gooseneck from brodex was about £80 so we didnt. it is amazing how much difference to the length of the pole the gooseneck makes, has anyone attached one of gardiners goosnecks to any other pole, if so how, or does anyone have any other ideas that might help
thanks
Bill

If you really like a gooseneck then get the brodex trident or brodex trident adjustable gooseneck- lifetime guarantee, very light and strong.

expensive but then the best stuff is.

How do you like the Predator pole?

Hi Bill,

We now have released our latest design, the G-Fit range. They are lightweight (130gm) aluminium goosenecks, which will simply screw on to any standard pole fitted with an end screw and then you can simply screw in any brush. We have designed this to offer full, quick interchangibility with all pole systems.

At just £25 they are also good value.

we thought that their gooseneck was way too expensive to be honest and would nt pay what they wanted, like i said we have been using the gardiner one for 12 months and it is still perfectly ok if we could get it to fit onto the pole we have now it cost about £22 if i remember right. have to say first impressions of the pole is that it is an improvement on the other one, it is lighter, there is more adjustment on the clamp, and it came with a vikan sill brush which i like very much. have only had them about a month or so, so we will see how they go

alex so those goosenecks will fit the predator pole and take the vikan sill brush, if its that simple it might solve our problem in the difference in height that we have noticed

I have a Predator (which I think is the dogs b******s) but as far as I can make out there is no thread on the end of the top section.  The plastic crank is a very tight push fit into a socket in the end of the pole.  To fit a "foreign" gooseneck I think it would be necessary to have an insert which fits into the top of the pole, and into the end of the gooseneck, with some sort of securing clamp to prevent twisting.

Any comment Alex? :)

Cheers,

Ian

Having spoken with Sean Rimmer of Brodex in the past about the Predator poles (which we will be stocking later this month), I thought that they used the same 'dura-plastic' crank and end screw as all the rest. I may be wrong though. The plastic crank should just unscrew from the end of the pole and allow a G-Fit neck to simply screw on.

When we start selling the Predator pole it will have as standard our 'hose-through' system and choice of goosenecks and brushes.
