Just about to order my slx, and goping with the Super light dual trim brush.

Is this the best option and will the platic neck be ok to start of with, Or should I get the ali one 12 or 14".

Would rather not get the ali one atm due to funds, but if its worth it I will.

Cheers.

Yep, brush is fine but order 2 plastic necks & when you need that extra bit of reach into deep sills you can screw two together.

1 is sufficient for 99% of my work, I have to screw two together for the very odd job.

agrre with the above..you wont go far wrong with the SLX mate

[John Walker]

Yep - go with the SLX and superlight dual trim - a winning combination 

I don't regret paying the money out - I'm so much less tired at the end of the day now.

Order a swivel connector too & when it comes I'll tell you how to modify it to make it work properly & strengthen it.

Plastic angle neck + modified swivel, you'll never work any other way again!

Does anyone else here use their SLX with the hose outside the pole?  It can be a bit fiddly at times but it really cuts down the grit problem.  I've started to get used to it this way and think I will probably stick with it.

Spot on guys. Very excited!

Just got to do the van floor (done the sides of ply and wheel arch covers with shed paint) Is water resistant so should stop the smell.)

Get a couple of bars welded, get battery and mount ro on a stand to be able to move it due to no where for my setup really lol.

Got some jobs in just over a week that I hate doing trad, and know Wfp will be so much better!
As said V excited!!!


P.s. What is Wfp like on old small square wooden pane windows? Am a bit worried of finish.

No - but I have made a hose tidy which saves coiling and tangling and really cuts down on grit.

I love the SLX! I believe am earning £2-300 a month extra because of it.

[krave]

Good to see such high praise for the pole! Have also founds Gardiners service to be faultless, so all in all should be good!

Wish I had enough work for it to earn me a extra £2-300 pm, But that will come.

[krave]

P.s, When I ordered my hose a reel from them, With fitting kit, It is a Ez snap connector I got isnt it? Not Pro tail....

Dont wanna order the wrong bit!

One of these mate?

No probs it's just a 2 minute job. you'll need 3mm drill bit (ish) & a nail/pin that will fit through that hole.

I would recommend not bothering with the ali goosenecks. For the miniscule amount of time they are perfect for the job, they made the brush harder to control for the other 99% of my work.
The standard plastic is best to start with. I've never used the swivel.
