I'll air my Grievensus first! I bought it and chose the gooseneck as it had a tenner off if you bought at the time, but I didn't realise, and think the website isn't clear enough, that in doing so you forfeit the Standard resi which I needed to be able to hook up my screw based swivel neck, hence couldn't rig it up to my new brush, even with the gooseneck as the stock threads are differently placed ( I don't know who's to blame for that, all manufacturers should use the same spec IMO ) so only way I could use it was to rig up the old brush to it. Back to the resi neck debacle, if I'd realised that I'd lose it buy getting the gooseneck, I wouldn't have bothered as I'd only have saved a fiver,I'd have waited a few month to get one, or more likely have got a cheap alloy one for how often I'll use it, but the fact that it says the resi is included foc to me says you'll get it full stop. The instructions themselves read, I quote, "if you have purchased an slx or supermax you have the option to use the quick release resi neck supplied as standard or the super lite quick release carbon gooseneck assembly". That reads to me that the resi comes anyway, but can use a gooseneck if you like, it's certainly ambiguous. I mean, you get a pen and hat with it which must cost the same as a resi! The hats ok, but I don't wear baseball caps cos rappers have ruined that scene! So, anyone who's buying an slx, just beware of that, you don't save a tenner, it's a fiver, in my case less than 3 quid cos I've had to buy one and with vat and pnp it 7 quid odd. To add a bit more weight to my arguement ( for want of a better word, im not after an arguement!) theres the option to have different pole hose choices, i think most of them are free, but if you choose no hose, nothing gets knocked off! I'm not a gardiner brasher, I've spent hundreds there and will continue to do so, but IMO it something Alex needs to tweak and make clearer! Oh, and btw Alex, after you use checkout, there's a bit in your t&c or something that says vat is at 17.5%!
Anyway, the pole. I was concerned before I got it that having spent 400 notes that I'd be frightened to death of breaking it, but it's very sturdy, and for a 30 footer, light. You still know about it going over lids, but infinitely preferable to alloy! Clamps are good, easy to use. Top noth pole that so far seems to be all that I've heard it is, whether it's worth 400 quid will be decided upon in time! As I expect a brush to last 6 months min and that's what does the work I would expect that the thing that holds it ought to last years. If I get 4 I'll be happy,5 very and so on!
Oh, how on earth do you take the sections out? There's a stopper in there but I want to lose a section 95% of the time, make it lighter still. Very nice bit of kit /emoticons/smile.png
