Anyone tried out one of these yet, comes with 3 year guarantee.

We've had a 25ft Prolong for a while now and it seems to be lasting quite well, I now need a 36ft pole for a new set up and like this look of this one, at £195 it's well priced.

[Mike #1]

got a text about poles other day 18ft pole weighs 1.8 kg thats heavy for an 18 ft pole without brush

[Ian Rochester]

Yeah I got the same text, apparently the 36ft is 3.1kg, probably not the lightest but for duration of time it will get used for that's not a big issue.

[concept]

yeah, they are similar in weight to their fibre glass poles, so not light. it's all about longevity with these it seems.

[Window Washers]

now if they can crack the weight issue they will sweep the market, as most expensive pole used do not last 3 years if they are well used. I like the 3 year call back..

[Ian Rochester]

Decided to go for it and have ordered the 36' version with 6" gooseneck and 10" head

[Steve CM]

let us know what there like ian as i'm gonna buy one or two i think as brodex poles normally last. the price seems real good for a 3 year guarantee also

If they extend smoothly i might buy 1 lol.

[Dave OSullivan]

I went for one of these, 31' with the 6" gooseneck. Currently using an unger glass fibre but it's a bit whippy at full stretch. Brodex quoted a week wait for the pole but free delivery. I'll let you know what it's like when it turns up, I've got quite high hopes for it though!

Spoke to Brodex today, it should be with me by Thursday which is ideal as we do a lot of high level commercial work on Fridays so it should get a good airing then.

Hi i already have an 18 foot elite.May not be the lightest pole but is extremely durable so when contacted about the new cheaper vesion i ordered one.it arrived today and i have ro say it is great,with 4 shorter sections.

[prestigeclean]

[Niall McAllister]

the brodex 36' hydra is about 6'11" closed, bare pole.

[prestigeclean]

does anyone know the closed length of the 18ft ally hydra pole and is it actually 18ft when fully extended regards alan

[Niall McAllister]

6 ft bare pole, 4 sections the link i put above gives the dimensions for all the alloy hydra poles

[prestigeclean]

we all know what they put on there site regarding weights and lengths , but when you actually get the pole this often differs , so my question is for someone that actually owns 1 of these poles who can give an accurate description regards alan

[stevieg]

hi i think that description is a typo!the sections are about 4foot six.times four =18 foot.

[Niall McAllister]

the poles will be less than 6 ft, when you take the clasps, 2 inch each, and the length that stays inside the pole to give it rigidity. so the 4 poles inside each other stops at 6 ft, but extend with stoppers and get 18 ft
