What a piece of kit this pole is!!!!

I was like a kid at xmas this morning lol

First impressions are that it is a superb pole, after watching endless you tube vids and forum reviews I took the plunge.

I have been using Brodex poles and my god, what a difference!!

Safe to say I'm going to be using gardiner for everything from now on, I know they are pricey but by god you get what you pay for!

Have a great weekend everyone, I'm going to clean our windows with my new toy! /emoticons/smile.png

 
Ah yeah not cleaning anymore although I really wish I was. Just circumstances at the time resulted in having to end the business that I loved /emoticons/sad.png however the state of the weather out there is easing my jealousy!

 
Sorry to here that mate!

Yes, it was a tad cold out there today!

I do love my job though

Maybe you'll get back in at some point mate.

i went from a brodex 31 alloy to a clx 27 n it felt like i'd died n gone to heaven, the difference to an extreme must be amazing

 
Did you get a lightweight brush to complete the setup?
I went for the supreme medium hybrid brush Steve.

Compared to what I was using, well, there's no comparison!!

When the guy delivered it Simon I thought he'd handed me an empty box! Lol

 
you must treat your new pole well and like a lady as once you start miss treating it will snap quicker then a twig my ex25 only lasted 9 months before I binned it as I was to heavy handed with mine northing to do with the pole it was me not treating it right lol

 
Thanx noddy!

It does give me the feeling it's very delicate

I can't afford to keep buying them every few months so will look after it.

Watched a video on you tube where a guy sprays his xtreme with clear laquer

To stop black hands and make it slide out really easy.

I'm going to try that!

 
I don't spray mine with anything as ive seen them with worn laquer and they look old and shabby when it wears , i don't mind getting black hands as ive got soap and water in the house to wash them at the end of the day lol (joke)

 
Totally agree Winp!

That's why I'm getting a power up reel installed in my new van!

After 10 years of hand cranking my back is about to give up! Lol

Not to mention 10 years of using Brodex poles!

What a fool I am!!!

 
I started off with a CLX, but now have two SLX poles. Huge difference. Fantastic poles. Worth every penny.

I'm sure your Extreme will serve you well.

 
i,ve got the slx 25 & 22 ft never cleaned or lacquered them

payed the price on the 25ft used every day first section is spinning

being bone idle decided could,int be arsxd to lacquer it cut four inches of it hayho looks ok will try it out tomorrow
