Gardeners poles.

[mufcglen]

My opinion was 100% constructive based on use and feed back. Very surprised at the defence of protruding clamps on a collapsible pole though as if the staff get injured you as the employer would be bang to rights as it is an unnecessary risk. Also one fluke resale des not quite reflect the true cost of that pole. Happy cleaning V.

3 fluke poles pal, ive since sold 2 used slx poles too and got over half theyre money back lol

i like to replace to keep things fresh, my poles make me a lot of money so replacing every year to kep fresh makes sense to me personally and when you get the return sale of a used pole its peanuts to freshen them up, theres not many other poles that hold theyre value like a Gardiner, everyone jokes about them going for more on ebay than Gardiner but its quite true!!!!!

i dont understand this dangerous sticking out clamps your talking about as me personally have never hurt myself on any of the poles, maybe theres loads of hidden cases of torn fingers lol tht we dont know about!!!!!

 

[Taxlossloz]

I can't see how they are dangerous

 

[Duncs]

as Alex says thats your opinion,mine is Gardiner are by far still the best on the market and theres a reason theyre the most popular!ive never had any issues with the clamps myself and certainly never caught my hands on them, the smart clamps are spot on and ive barely had to adjust them.

i use the slx now but when i first started i bought the clx and used it over a year and if your looking for a cheap pole like the one you mentioned for comparablilty a clx 22 cost me about £130 if i remember rightly with the brush and hose that comes with it and a year later i sold it for £110 and it was still really good condition in fact im certain i'd still be using it now if i didnt upgrade.

using a pole for a year and losing £20 i would say is incredible pound for pound value, people forget that with Gardiner you get resale value in future if you decide to renew or upgrade, theres not many other poles that you can bang on ebay and get anything near half your money back!!!!

hi cheshire i think thats gd idea replace your poles every year and get top price

so your always using top gear gd idea

gardiner poles I totaly swear by them gd reliable poles which never let you down

i,m sure high percentage on here use them every day

[Gavin]

Everyone is entitled to an opionion. But my experience is that Gardiners poles are great. Never had an issue with the clamps nor did I feel in danger from them.

Service is great and as I don't live far away I went and picked mine up in person. Great service no problem at all.

I have a SLX-35 and a SLX-18, both over a year old, both used daily. Apart from a slight problem on the 18 in the first few weeks, with the locking nuts not locking, they have both been fantastic pieces of kit and I fully intend to replace like for like when the time comes.

Alex replaced all the locking nuts without any issue, so for me Gardiners and their SLX range gets tops marks.

 

[tench0771]

i may try the 18ft slx next time i use the 22 at the minit but im toying with geting a 35 and a 18

I use Ionics grafter 28, having to have a few inches at the top of a few sections nearer the brush head to stop the spinning

Had some abuse though (work wise)

about time i get myself a Gardiners me thinks.

seems everyone that uses them, have nothing but praise for them

 

[tench0771]

what r the ionics poles like @lou compaired to gardners ?

 

[Taxlossloz]

Another great thing about gardiners - the name

It's a family business and you get the feeling Alex cares about every pole that goes out

I may even grow a little moustache in his honour

Couldn't tell ya about the Gardiners mate, My 1st pole was / is an ionics grafter, and a grafter it is!

what a jocky you are your employee as a great deal more risk or tripping over the hose then from the claims

LOL you need some risk assessment training. The hose is essential and all that can be done to improve safety is make it a bright colour this is why they are normally yellow so all that can be done for the worker has been done.

A protruding clamps is not necessary and can be avoided leaving the employer/manufacturer wide open to a claim.

 

[AEG]

I can't see how they are dangerous

I think my point was it is an unnecessary risk that need not be there. But come on you cant tell me that the the clamp levers are better than on the Ntech stream line range.

like a said befoure your a jocky

one of the main things your lads should worrie about is not slipping over in the bull **** that come out of your mouth that lands all over the floor

gardiners

iconics

phoinex

xline

just a few here in the uk that have spent 100,000s of pounds bringing there poles to the market from design to getting them in our hands , they would of spent 50% of there money on there legal fees making sure that there safe and all duty of care laws are covered and there poles are safe I mean would they put there freedom on the line with a corporate mansluter change ? I think not

I am sure there having sleepless nights about a know no northing window cleaner that flapping his gums about jack poop

maybe if you employed people that are a bit brighter and can think for themselves you wouldn't need to worrrie but hang on if you did employ some one brighter they would click on you talk a load of **** lol

I cant be doin with sellers attempting to defend there flawed goods, I learn from others when there methods or products are better so maybe you should get down off your high horse and do the same.

 

[steve garwood]

I have the orange n.tec from streamline and 3 s.l.x poles and definitely rate the Gardiners poles superior

 

[Taxlossloz]

Anything can be dangerous

You can poke your eye out with a pencil if your not careful
