Brodex are doing some real good offers at the moment,
don`t forget you`ve got that £60 for nothing you can use towards it  ;D  ;D  ;)

Their site doesn't seem to be working at the moment. :(

Have you used their poles?

are they ok?

Just checked their website and it`s working fine for me,
i`ve been using their poles for about 3 years and can`t fault them especially the cobra carbon poles  ;)

just had a look and the 25ft one at £275+vat looks pretty good.

Has anyone used both the cobra and the slx, that can give me an honest comparison?

Thanks pole king, your £10 finders fee is in the post ;D

I can`t comment on the slx has i have never used one i know a lot that have and do really like them,
the brodex cobra carbon are top quality and very rigid i have the 25ft and love it  ;)

the cobra and sl-x are no comparison...the sl-x takes it. Ive held the cobra its just too long, too heavy. the sl-x is a workable pole, forget brodex stuff.....though it will last you

yep, well I could tell everything i needed from doing that. No doubt its a good pole as I have owned 2 brodex poles, but its too heavy and too long when closed. We want work tools that improve our cleaning capabilities, if a pole is too big, it takes more time, time is money

It`s not too heavy at all,i don`t have any issues with the weight i could use it all day,and as for the length just use a smaller pole  ;)

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

If you are 6ft 3, 18 ?( don`t know if that`s age or weight) and built strong then how on earth can you think 2.2kg (3 if max) is heavy for a pole to use  ::)

Its not weight ha ha. Im not sure you understand exactly what Im trying to say. Its not physically too heavy. Before the SL-X I used the Pro-long 25ft, which is much heavier than the Cobra. But its too heavy considering the SL-X is now available, things have changed. If you can get something lighter then its worth it.
