I noticed yesterday that WCW do a Xtel Xtreme, which has been modified to include aluminium collars to stop wear when the pole is fully closed.

Has anybody got any experience with one of these??

The Aluminium collar on these poles is at the top of the pole where it connects to the angle adapter.

i had one on my first xtel buut not had ione on since, it just wears after the collar instead..

i need a min 18ft pole on my domestics any less and id be struggling

after using the 24ft xtel with the super lite i would never go back to a 17ft pole, i was worried about the weight of the 24ft pole before it come but after using it for an hour you dont even notice the difference and its nice to have a lot more reach....

kris, do you mined me asking where from and how much?

oh also is that 24ft plus you i.e another 4ft from hip;  so could you reach 2nd floor windows, town houses?

thanks lee

i got in from gardiners pal, it cost me £150 with supa lite brush, hoses and a few little bits, the pole itself is 24ft and to be honest i was really concerned about having the weight all day going from 17ft, the 17ft pole just dosnt cut it for my work and i dont think opening out the pole fully on a lot of windows does it any good, i would definately go for the 24ft with the super lite pal you will reach town houses with ease and that is without over stretching the pole...

thanks for the advice kris was thinking of getting sl-x but £450 is probably to be honest more than i wanted to spend, don't doubt it's a great pole.

but i like the sound of what you've got.
thanks lee
