I think you must be referring to the 18ft Universal pole. Good pole, but as you mention a little on the heavy side. We now use the 17ft X-Tel poles which are more flexible, but nearly half the weight. We gave up using Vikan brushes ourselves due to the nearly 1/2 kilo weight of them, we stick to Super-Lite  Bentley brushes now.

If you switched to a 17ft X-Tel and a Super-Lite brush you wouldn't know you were living!

Thank you!

I can't take the credit for the Exel Universal pole (18ft).  I just chose the colour and section length.
