Title: Possible solution for Slx Clx Clamps
Post by: richard jagger on October 07, 2011, 02:51:48 pm

One of the problems with epoxy glue its not very shock resistant. When closing your gardener pole and allowing it to slam against the lower clamp would create a problem which no glue will solve.
What a propose is to take the pole apart and twist an elastic in a figure of 8 fashion around each pole and move it to just below the clamp to work as a buffer for the clamp below.Some guys already use tape but this will add to the poles length when working a ground level.
What would be the answer is for Alex to Place a rubber  O seal  ring at the bottom of each clamp to protect these clamps.If they were 2 /3 mm thick rubber it would cushion very well.One could add more than one if you were a little ruff with your pole.

My tape mod only adds about 5cm to my clx18 when closed

I reckon the rubber o-ring your suggesting would just make the clamp last a little longer as the pressure would still go through the o-ring to the next clamp.

I've a better idea- don't smash your clamps together full stop! ;D
