Anyone else finding that as the SLX wears, they are getting very grey hands while extending the pole? I clean it every week like the instructions say but it's getting worse.

I'm going to have to resort to wearing marigolds whilst at work!

Wear gloves,if you don`t you`ll also get tiny splinters in your hands aswell and there agony,they have to work there way out.

You get it with all poles carbon and fiberglass,as time goes on with this pole as it wears it will stop.With fiberglass poles you will always get splinters with them old or new,it sounds like you need a harris pole lol.

[alan andrewswestsi]

just bought one as a spare lol

splinters in your hands are not agony, annoying maybe agony I dont think so lol, do you use moisturiser  :

I get the grey hands things with my facelift pole as well as the slx....it's just the carbon fibre wearing...no biggy.

Cheers Dave.

I've been using my 22ft Harris pole all day today, and my hands are perfectly clean!!!

Just to stick a spoke in the wheel, its when the annodising wears off the Harris that you will get oxidization off the alu-just like the Unger. It will help if you sleeve the pole base and the top section- you cannot do it with trhe N02 section . Also will help a lot when it gets cold.

I`ve to been using the Harris pole allday today,yeah i`ve been hanging washing on it unblocking drains with it the list goes on lol,how`s the tape holding out that`s holding the brush on the end lol.

[Jeff Brimble]

Wasnt it propole or Paul that was on yesterday on another thread that said he had been using his for a year, maybe he could let us know howor if it wears ?

        Bad news about the DIRTY HANDS sir ... But is the SLX a good pole 

Absolutely - it's great. The dirt is not a major issue. I would highly recommend getting one.

[Nathanael Jones]

You could always wrap the base section in heatshrink. Its on ebay for pennies!

[Bonzer]

It's not the base section that causes the problem. It's when opening and closing the other sections.

Good Evening !

    As u can guess im half way in to buying a SL-X pole, my only concern is the clamps ? Ive watched a few videos and have never seen the pole being extended ! Is it a mystery ?

[Ryan J Askew]

[Jeff Brimble]

Ryan this is the point where you may get everyones opinion of the 2 dozen poles out there, or I may have frightened them off and you get none
