gardiners clueless about acme accessory screw thread

Sometimes you guys are hard to please. /emoticons/tongue.png
Why should Gardners know everything, especially about something they don't sell? Why don't you phone the manufacturers of the Pro Gutter Tools and moan at them for not producing the tools with a different thread?

I have never found a conversion from the standard brush thread to Acme so I doubt you will be able to use your clx for that application. We still use Unger poles with the Acme attachment when using the Pro Gutter Tool.

i got something from gardiners that said it fitted an acme thread, it didn't, am i not entitled to ask why? i did ask & the lass i spoke to didn't know so i asked on here n alex explained about different acme thread,, so whats your problem

I haven't got a problem; but by the heading of your post about Gardiners being clueless, it sounds like you have though. The heading of the post is nothing more than sensationalism on your part, trying to make yourself more important than another.

As is the case with the majority of us on the forum, Gardiners have forgotten what we still have to learn. So to call a good supplier clueless is an insult IMHO, especially for the amount of help that supplier has provided for us all.

Again, the sales ladies aren't expected to know everything. Politely put, their main role is order taking, not technical advise, let alone a product that they don't even stock.

If you didn't get a satisfactory answer then you could have emailed Alex directly - he has made his email address common knowledge and has always been extremely helpful, both on and off the forum. Its always Alex that answers questions when needed, as he has done on this thread.
