Facelift 24ft carbon fibre brilliant pole and i own one dont listen to the so called experts who have held a pole for 30seconds and dont actually own one they are usually talking out of there arse.

1. I want SHORT closed length

2. I want LIGHT

3. I want HARD WEARING

4. I want QUICK SERVICE

If possible I would like all the above at less than £50.   

Failing that, I can spend up to £500

guess I'll have to drop no. 4 from the list and get an slx if they ever materialize.

yes, this pole exists..,.....its starts wit s and ends with x with an l in between

24ft carbon Facxlift lol.

The new Xtel 24ft carbon fits every criteria for you.

I reckon that Gardiners have the best deal on them at the moment.

The sections are short, the clamps are great OK it isn't the lightest pole at this height but with the rigidity you get with carbon you could work all day with it easily. I,ve sold quite a few and all the customers love them.

Best pole i`ve ever used for domestic and anything up to 30 odd ft,no other tele pole i`ve used comes close and i`ve tried em all.

Yes it is the new one.

Your right, its not too heavy, but when poles like the SL-X exist, then this pole is far heavier. The advertised weight of the Cobra is 2.2kg. Now I know that Brodex only count the pole, no hose or anything else. My Pro-long a whole kg heavier than advertised when it came....a whole kg. So that cobra will weigh even more if you put it on the scales.

Lenght wise, its 7.6ft.....thats aot. Poles need to be shorter and lighter so we save our energy and dont need to switch poles all the time

That's the '25ft' Cobra. The one that you need to compare to the new SL-X is the 35ft Cobra at £608. The one to compare to the old SL-X is the 30ft Cobra at £508.

Alex,

Is 5th Jan a definite date?

The 15th of December was a definite date and we had the product four days ahead of schedule.  However we could not have foreseen the manufacturing flaw which occurred which meant another delay.  The 5th of January we believe is a definite date but as has been shown before, unforeseen events can occur to delay it further.  I sincerely hope not!

IMO it's well worth waiting for the sl-x, even if you have to buy a cheap/throwaway pole to put you on 'till it arrives.

At the end of the day there all throw away poles somewhere along the line,i can`t beleive you`ve turned your back on the Facelift Tony.Great pole in my book and is still earning money over 3 yrs on with no clamps that need adjusting all the time,the Facelift really has stood the test of time and the 1 in the back of my van prooves it.

[kenaltobelli]

you want an ionixs carbon or facelift but brodex stuff will wear well esp if its used by workers

Don't know what you did with your clamps but mine only need adjusting once a blue moon AND I've never glued them either

The facelift is too long now after using the sl-x, the clamps no where near outweigh all the other bennefits of the sl-x!

You can cut any pole down to the size you require that`s what i did,the Facelift pole is perfect for this if you require a shorter closed pole it takes minutes to do.

That is an expensive way of getting a shorter pole though. The new 30ft SL-X is £387 all-in whereas the Facelift 35ft (which is actually 31ft 6 inches) is £764 all-in. To get the Facelift as compact as the SL-X you would need to reduce the longest section to just 5' 5",  with the length of the clamps, the pole would now be just 25ft when fully extended.

For the average user this would just not be economic to do - £764 for a 25ft pole. They are great poles though, but so is the new SL-X

alex
you mentioned a while ago you could get this pole custom made,

would you be able to get it made, to the same closed length as my 17 ft excell,?

as this is a great closed length, and is what i am used to
