Title: Broken clamp on SLX
Post by: Klean07 on December 19, 2011, 05:10:44 pm: Is there any way that I can still use pole with one clamp missing? I know it ssounds like a daft question but I've just spent best part of an hour trying to put a spare clamp on minus the plastic bit that tightens it up without success. I've ordered a replacement.

Thanks cleancare mate. It looks like I will be doing that anyway as I didn't have time to get into Sutton this evening.

Post by: steven ainger on December 20, 2011, 06:25:11 pm: I had a clamp come unstuck today, on my slx 18.
I had to take the top 3 sections out of the slx18 and replace them with the top 3 sections of my slx30.
It wasnt ideal as the base section was shorter than the slx30 sections, but it was better than using a 30ft pole for 3/4's of the days work.
