not broke one in 2 years
made 3 replacements this week
the only down side is because they are alloy they get cold to the touch
and after a few months the screw clamps ware so it a cheep option to throw it away and have a new one every 5 months or so

go for it 

[cleewindows]

i shall be having a go at one of these but is 5 metres the longest you can go upto?
is 5 metres long enough?
i have houses with windows above conservatories so need 7 metres or maybe more.
cheers does look good

 Stopping the cold: Get some lagging from a plumbers supply and force the foam lagging oven the Bentley pole with same detergent on the pole then teach end with a tie wire very tiet. Then tape around the lagging with duck paper. It makes a good cold resistant handle’s. Yes remember to buy the lagging with the biggest hole through and the thinnest foam.

I can reach over most conservatories with mine no problem.
The clamps can be fixed by just wrapping a centimeter wide strip of plastic pop bottle round the claw clamps, and tightning up over it.

i use the harris poles.......i dont use the clamps though...just hold the hose at the base to keep the pole extended.

Hi Scrimmy,just a query here thanks.If ya don`t use the clamps
What stops the pole sections from `spinning`around when ya using
The pole? That’s the problem Peter Fogwill has I think with his
Clampless poles.His works on the principle of holding at the bottom
With the hose to keep the sections up,

I unscrewed the cone cut it off and put bike quick release seat clamps on the claws works brilliant i think the top clamp was 28 mm and the bottom 34.9mm they only do a couple of sizes

[cleewindows]

that sounds different tosh with the fishing rod m8.

[L.Doubtfire - The Blade Runner]

Adidixon,it sounds oaky,but it`s the claws of the prong not the
Cone that wears.Not too clear though,any chance of a `pic`?
I wish Scrimmy would reply.

[HIGH LEVEL WINDOW CLEANERS (scrimmy)]

sorry lewis......response coming now



i dont have a problem with spinning brush.......i did have when i was using peters one sometimes.

i am using thicker hose on the harris...10mm OD.......and i can throw the pole up like wot peters does or if you cant get the hang of that method just pull it out to the desired height and lift.

 

[HIGH LEVEL WINDOW CLEANERS (scrimmy)]

just to add, yep just hole the hose at the base to keep it from coming back down

[L.Doubtfire - The Blade Runner]

Blimey Scrimmy,get in touch with Peter.Sounds like ya could
Sort his problem out.
Can`t quite get my head around it myself.
I do like my Harris pole myself though.
Any chance of a `pic`?

[adixon]

bike seat clamps

[L.Doubtfire - The Blade Runner]

Now that is something to think about.What sizes do they
Do them in Adidixon? Is there a web site to look at ?
Thanks for the pics`
If Scrimmy can also oblige,then there will be two different
Ways of using a Harris pole.
Oh, Scrimmy I`m online,do you run your water feed pipe
Inside or outside your Harris? Thanks

Just type in seat post clamps or look at halfords i just went to my local bike shop the top one was 28mm i think and the bottom one was the biggest one they do im sure it was 34.9mm it was about 2yrs ago i did it works very well but there are only 3 or 4 sizes they do
