Just got this £65 35ft pole facelift.

Well chuffed

Was just getting as a spare but may become No1 pole for 3rd floor.

My tips so far paid for this.

Tench you want the ones with vertical clamps, the facelift phonix x poles, there awsome, love mine, the clamps are so fast and easy compared to Gardiner clamps...

i had a pheonix x m8 and it only lasted 8 month till it started spinning and the clamps went stiff as hell maby i had a duff one but i thault never again the 1 thing i realy liked tho as u say is the clamps bing horazontle

Mines now 15 months old and still going string tench, i just love the clamps, so easy and great to use...

They've got the mk2 out now, might be worth a try,

I've got the 18 and 25 and there both still mint,

My ideal pole would be Gardiner Xtreme with the Phoenix clamps!

I find he Gardiner clamps a lot slower and fiddly when in use

I've got both Gardiner and facelift poles, so can compare well, and to be honest there's not a lot in it tench, you probably got a duff pole...

I lean towards the phoeknx poles as the clamps are so easy

That looks like the Phoenix high modulus pole posh?! If so they are £xxxx money!!!

 

[Posh]

This is it. Don't think it's quite a nice as the one in your pic but I've already got a 18ft facelift & love it. It's so light & had no trouble with the clamps.

 

[Posh]

I'm not really up on poles but wanted one between 35 & 40ft.

It was £65 plus £12 p&p so £77 altogether.

 

[tench0771]

it looks like a china classic pole does it have positive stops ie rased sections?

 

[Posh]

God knows. Long as it goes up to the window & comes down again that a do me.

 

[Bishy]

Every pole looks nice at first site , but I did like them facelift clamps felt nice , I would get one , also I liked the simpole at show was suprised by it , my slx with clamps getting on my tits in tempered to put lock thread on it so stop undoing lol

 

[peter rogers]

anyone know good delivery companies for poles ?? its a nightmare to get them back to belfast

 

[Posh]

Pole arrived yesterday.

Wow it a beast.

Surprised how light it was at full height

All clamps work fine so no spinning.

Think it was £77 well spent.
