[Dave B]

Smashed my brush today the first time i left my pole extended and this happened

A local guy lent me this until my new one arrivesView attachment 5444

Nice to see still nice people about

 

[Jake]

How did you smash your brush?

 

[Dave B]

Left pole extended leaning against gutter on townhouse while i took my jumper off

Slipped sideways

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Lucky it was just the brush Davey, could have been worse, perhaps a pole section. However lesson learnt.

I doff my cap to your chap that sorted a loaner.

 

[Dave B]

It's a guy i see about a lot

Worked for the same firm years ago when i was subbing so know him to chat :turd: when i see him

He found it funny but also did me a big favour

 

[Dave B]

I am always preaching that you should never leave pole extended without your hands on it and proved myself right lol

Ordered a xline jobbie and a cheap vikan for the fascia type jobs i do to avoid using the same brush

 

[Jake]

what pole you got Dave?

 

[Dave B]

Bayersan fibreglass jobbie

Wondering if carbon would've shattered

 

[TolishAPurd]

Better get on youtube to check out some tradding videos Dave or else you'll be skint waiting for that new pole to turn up./emoticons/biggrin.png

It wouldn't have shattered, only asked as I thought you might have a facelift pole as it looks like mine in the picture! But I suppose they use those resi necks on loads of poles, but just thought I'd ask...

Carbon poles are hard wearing, and they won't break or shatter from falling - worth getting one in the future mate, but not essential...

Yeah I'll be stuck in the old school in 30 years, when the laser system comes out :rofl:

Just joking tolish, we love trad as well...

Well maybe not... As much...

 

[TolishAPurd]

I don't feel such a Muppet now. Last week I rested my pole against the back of my van, then the customer asked me to move my van so I reversed straight over it crushing it. Luckily it was an old n.tec pole I use for conny roofs and not my slx

 

[Dave B]

Amazing how much better the ionic brush is compared to my one that came with the pole

The original brush looks like a brodex piece of shite

Does anyone use Ionics gear on here? I've never heard of anyone talking about their poles or brushes come to think of it.

 

[steve garwood]

The only good thing I've heard about ionics is their pole hose

 

[Jake]

There not really very popular, but I'm sure the brush dave has is a revelation if its being compared to a brodex or similar...
