They don't look different, granted...........if they did, we'd be moaning all over again,lol. You can certainly tell when they're in you hand....they just feel much more heavy duty.

You don't have the latest plastic clamps and levers then. Sounds like you have the mkll version. Best levers/worst clamping system imo. Easy to upgrade.

I have checked through the ship-out list for yesterday and it seems that you were sent the new clamps lever-sets by accident as you have the older Mk11 model. If you want to send them back to us we can re-fund your postage. Or you can wait until we have your pole back to upgrade the clamps for you and we can have them back then.

Someone went back too far on the SL-X database!  :)

Well my new clamps arrived today (are they ver 3?)...anyways...

They look and feel more sturdy I must say....I hope with all the best will in the world that these are the 'ones' that will put this all to bed.

Cheers Alex if you're reading....the pallet was just about right to fit all the clamps ;), think that next time a euro-pallet will do fine  ;D.

Cheers
Dave.

Received new clamps to-day, have put them on, will try out tomorrow.

I have decided i am now putting the hose on the outside of the SLX as grit etc: is causing too much damage to an expensive though very nice pole IMO.

And probably wont be able to replace for a while, so will give it a go with hose flappin' in the wind!
