New pole time

[Shiny]

Its now time to change my everyday use pole a 17ft glass fibre NTech. Looking at a SLX 22 which will give me a bit more height yet keep the weight around the same as I am currently using. Will this be a good buy? reading various feeds and reports it seems that the SLX range are very good.

Secondly looking at having a flow valve fitted, I know it will save on water but are they a pain to use?

any input gratefully received before I make this investment..!!

Not sure about those clamps on the x-line! They look awkward to use and look like they will catch on gutters etc

Who has one apart from mark?

hi tench, ive got the smart clamps on my pole and they dont spin? theyre not too tight either, ive adjusted them tight then backed off a tad and they've been spot on, ive never tried the facelift clamps but wouldnt mind in the future as they look nice to work with!

We have not had levers snapping on our new Smart Clamps - they are very tough and can take a lot of abuse. If your friend is having any issues such as spinning clamps etc, please get him to contact us as most users do not have any such issues.

@Alex Gardiner, I've had 3 snap I think. I bought a few lever sets from you a couple of months ago for back up.

Well that just shows doesn't it! /emoticons/wink.png

Can you drop me an email on [email protected] - I would be interested in knowing how they have broken and what was happening to them that led to this.

Just took a pic of one @Alex Gardiner

Wow

How did this happen?
