whats the ridgability on the xtel the stronger the better
I went from Unger telescopic (which clamps hurt my hands and was very whippy) to fishing pole rigid but fragile) and then to SLX. (Which I run as a 20ft jobbie with three extra sections on hand for when I need them to go to 25/30/35ft)Fishing pole was light but modular (obviously) and suffered from occasional snapping/sticking issues.For me the lightness of my SLX which combines the lightness of a fishing pole with being telescopic makes me an extra £30 a day.
i have been using brodex hydra 18ft for a few weeks now find it better than x-tel hybrid my 24ft wore so much in 12 months it impossible to use on downstairs windows as if i collaspe pole fully it spins if i extend each section so it does'nt the pole is about 7ft no good so far can't fault hydra 3yr warranty as well i have the 24ft hydra as well do not use that often as i have found i can manage 95% of my work with 18ft pole
There’s not that great a difference though matt, do you know the actual weight difference between the two?
About 500-600 grams or the weight difference of a typical Vikan brush.
go from 1 extreme the Ungerto the othera converted fishing polehave a search on here about them, the lightness is outstanding
