Title: Swivelling gooseneck
Post by: Klean07 on April 06, 2009, 07:54:43 am

I have a 35ft pole I bought from wcw last year. Trouble is that when pole is closed for downstairs work the gooseneck part swivells around. I've tried tightening it up but if I do this I then can't open the pole for upstairs work. It looks like the part before the clamp is worn a little.
Any idea's?

What's happened is that the pole has worn in the place where the clamp is most often closed to when doing downstairs work.  Working downstairs always puts the most wear and strain on clamps and sections as they are often used sideways instead of vertically when they are doing high work.  A simple way to cure this is to get some rapid setting epoxy resin and smear a very thin amount on the worn area, allow to dry and sand smooth.  This should sort you out.

Cheers for that Alex.
