Its very light in use all day long, My eldest girl was having problems using my Hybrid all day, since she change over to the harris pole, she's happy and had no problems.

Jeff,
Thanks for the advice,I did read this in your earlier post...I like the idea of the sill brush to be added on this pole..So what angle adaptor will I have to use to connect brush to the Harris pole?

The pole we talking about in question is the Harris 3-Section Aluminium Extension Pole 3Mtr?I see that Harris do a 5mtr pole online for around £18 plus vat...are these two the same in compatible,diameter sections?
Cheers,
               Tony,

PS: I went to the Southend B&Q branch,and they sold out.....
I'm not sure what there like with a heavy brush like the sill brush, I also have a 3m one and there quite good and they are the same diameter as the 5m one.

When ever you go into B&Q always ask at the customer service desk, so they can check if they do have them in stock, tucked away upstairs or something daft like that.

All the poles you see in the pictures are the 5m ones.

Been using my harris pole today and it has a sill brush and i think its brilliant one of the best pole's i have used.

I think it will last a good while also and it seems sturdy and for those who said its whippy have you used one of those excel yellow poles now there whippy.

Im going to  get another the weekend.

I had to get my powerpole out for one window and after using the harris christ did i notice the weight.

I was getting quite a bit done today with the new pole then my poxy handle on my hose reel snapped and i never had a spare, I was a right pain keep trying to wind the hose in with my hand

I have now got a new favourite pole, i have gone off the Harris a bit.

Just picked up a17ft extel off Alex and I have got to say it is the best pole I have ever used, cheap as well, cheap enough to replace after 6 months.

Someone told me the new ones were stiffer, and do you know what thay were right..

You just cant beat walking into a shop and being able to clean windows straight away.

I got a Harris pole myself, now, and have attached my Mk2 Jeff Gutter Grabber to it, and may use it for my camera work.

The only thing that puts me of it for wfp work is the clamps.

What do they look like?

Can they fit a Harris pole?

Are they those little lever ones?

Why don't you like the clamps Mr Tumble? I think they are great, when I use them that is, as I very often use it clampless, unless its a large house, or theres an awkward window.

With the facelift pole hose and the facelift pole looked after and well lubricated it almost works the same as a clampless pole as i will show you in my video.

Please explain why you don't like the clamps? I think that they are the best clamps I have ever used, whats not to like about them? How about a video to show why your extel is so much better! If your going to come on here and make statements like that, then prove it! because I think that you probably haven't got a Harris pole at all!!! Because they are definately not a joke, in fact I wouldn't use anything else!!!
