Using it for the first time today.

How are you liking it? I have access to a WFP that I use from time to time, but I personally prefer being face to glass. Been considering picking one up in the near future but the whole setup is quite expensive, pump and all.
This is a great pole.
This is the 2nd pole I’ve used that is over 60 feet. At 65 feet, and 18 pounds, it is longer yet lighter than the Carbontec 50 foot modular pole (which weighs 20 pounds). At 18 pounds, it is heavier than some other poles in it’s class. However, Unger has recently dropped it’s prices on much of it’s waterfed line, including this pole. This is currently the most economical 65 foot telescopic carbon fiber pole on the market. 65 feet will get the job done on any 4 story building you come across, and will reach many 5 story buildings as well.
I really like the clamps on this pole. The clamp levers are easy to operate, and are low profile…meaning they don’t stick out much. This is an advantage in that it is much less likely that these clamps will get hung up on protruding ledges.
The brush performed well. It’s an Unger monofilament.
The closed length height of the pole does make it a bit of a challenge when extending the pole up the side of a building. I’ve also owned a 56 foot Facelift, and extending it was about the same as extending this pole.
The tubing in the pole is very strong. The fitting that attaches the internal tubing to the brush tubing is a plastic Y fitting. This is a very strong connection, but is not tailored for frequent brush changes.
Oh, and it’s a pretty cool looking pole too.
Nice!!
what would the flex be like on a pole that long? I’ve never used a wfp , just wondering cause I have ungers 30 ft traditional ext. pole and at full length there is alot of flex.
I can’t give an exact answer concerning the 65’ Unger, but any good carbon fiber pole has way less flex than aluminum at comparable heights.
It has some flex, as all poles do at this height. But, as Dan said, carbon fiber poles have less flex than poles made from other materials.
At this height, carbon fiber is a must.
