Chinese Poles?

[Poles Apart]

Yes Adam It's not so much the price it's whether it represents value for money £530 for something that might not last is a big consideration.

Only chinese ones I can find are minimum orders of at least 10 unit's.
I want an extreme myself but 500 quid is a lot of money and by all accounts they don't last that long.

The company that I've been in contact with have a minimum order of 5, that is if I'm understanding them as English for this company is not a strong point.

@Damo

Uses only these ask him

Just ordered a new 22 today actually lol.

They are not designed to last like normal poles they are designed to be the lightest.

To make a pole last would make it heavier.

That's all guess work though lol.

how long would you expect an extreme to last in daily use @Damo ?

The new v3 id say 2 years if you clean it and look after it.

Mine needs a refurb after 10 months of 5/6 days a week. Probably flushed it with water about 10 times in its life.

To me it's a tool to earn money and it's the most important part of the job. So a year for an extreme is ok for me.

Next one will be looked after though, just to see how it holds up.

For it's all about the brush , The Gardiner Supreme soft is top all rounder brush for pvc cleans and even builders cleans which i also use mine for and quite a bit lighter than a sill brush .

Still got loads of series 2 but prefer series 3 now.

This v3 has been treated like an slx and apart from wearing a bit where it clamps at the top on section 1 and 2 loads of life left.

Gonna trim each section. Fit new clamps and then it can be another chemical pole for doing pre treatments.
