I have an SLX that is now coming up 9 months old and although it is the 30ft plus 5ft extension version I run it as a 20ft pole for 95% of my work and keep the bigger sections in the van for when I need them.
It's a game of three halves!

Think I will stretch for the pole, Going to mean more hard work, which cant be a bad thing!!

God, I have just looked at the Hydra poles. That is so cheap. Half the price for 36 foot....

Are there any specs on this?

Then you could go for the 31ft pole and cut it down as all the sections are removable,
and still works out cheap

good price but the  30ft slx is 1.8kg 5ft 5 in closed
                            31ft hydra is 3.3kg 6ft 3in closed :o
and it's marketed as "Amazingly light: (bare pole weight)"

Forget the Hydra, it's rubbish.

If you look after your SL-X well it will last and last and last. My mark 1 SL-X just had it's clamp upgrade. I've had the pole since launch and it barely wore at all, the inside of the clamps haven't even worn half a milimeter.

Keep it clean, keep it for a long time.

I have the invoice 2/11,09 paid £155 + 23 vat
I would have thought £100 cash would be fair, not sure about the 3 year guarantee though I doubt if it could be transfered . That said if it had to be returned you would have to use my address.
