:( 2nd day of use and was doing an apartment block with lad, let him use my new 22SLX as I was doing high stuff with my dinosaur Brodex 65ft pole - does the job though- anyways he calls me over to show me the smashed end cap with a disc of plastic broken off the bottom ::) ... he let pole down too fast
must have been cold as normally on me clx the end cap would have popped off or are they different end caps on the SLX ?, tried to remove it as got a spare but seems to be glued on but maybe just tight as new ?

end caps are usually glued on, need to cut it off slice it and it should peel off

Ian, the best thing you can do to protect your pole and prevent this happening is to get some insulation tape and wrap it around behind each clamp, that way the end stop wont come off and the clamps wont get smacked each time you close the pole down

wont the tape come off through out the day as the pole gets wet?
sorry to hear about your pole mate bet ur glad he never called you over to say i've snapped it thou (gutted) yes the end caps are of a harder plastic than before

In the meantime- cut some squeegee rubber to fit & fix round bottom with a tie-wrap. ;)
