Hi rick,

I had one break, but i know they realized that and altered the design.
Maybe they sent the old design by mistake,got in the mix somehow.
Ask them to send on next day delivery, sure they will sort it for you ;)

windie it WAS BROKEN!!!!

It was a component that was broken the way the post is titled you would think it had snapped in half while you were cleaning windows .

I agree with Ben i would always contact supplier first , I have had problems with poles and bits of kit over the years and have always contacted supplier first and they have sorted it out so no need for big dramatic titled post  ;D ;D ;D . Mike

Whilst that is the correct way to do things, if everyone did that then none of us would be any the wiser on product quality. At least we been updated that the faulty component is still out there being sold with a new pole. We were under the impression that all these faulty components had been with drawn from the market, or at least that is what I understood.

I disagree. The service may have been great, but this has the point toward the original product's quality. Why should you loose 2 working days without the pole you just purchased because of their product quality issues? Of course their service has to be spot on in this case - its their reputation that is at stake.

To ensure happy customers, a company has to set realistic expectations for their product. All the initial marketing hype may have tended to raise these expectations a little too high.

Its good to get unbiased reports of exactly how the poles are performing in the work place - this will become more evident as time goes on.

Nick, was it the thread piece on an UL section that broke? We have removed AD after snapping 2 of these. Been fine since. In both cases Mike at facelift replaced immediately.  Nothing wrong with Phoenix poles, not had any clamp issues in 9 months.

Post by: koopmaster on November 10, 2013, 09:31:15 am
I have a phoenix hybrid pole,  yes I had a few issues with it but they fixed it and replaced the parts for free.

 The worst advice I had was from a seller who advised me to cut the pole when my clamps broke.  (NEVER CUT YOUR POLE)  big mistake.  rather listen to the manufacturer and replace the clamps properly. 

I have to buy a new pole now because cutting the pole causes most of the ends to spit.  lesson learned..

I still think the pole is amazing, I have a ultralight brush on my 22" pole and its so light I can work all day and not be tired.

I am going to get the 26 foot pole so I have that extra 4 feet.

i didn't cry,but would you accept that someone on here tell that your wife is a s l ut because he is upset about you?
i told rick to contact facelift directly, i don't think facelift sent a broken pole so no need to come on cleanitup to critise the company!

btm you don't think! that may be your problem! i never once said anything bad about any company!!!!! maybe the pole broke in transit, i was just fed up that it was broken before i had a chance to use it.
