Title: Ever snapped your pole in the wind??
Post by: RO-Sheen on May 11, 2009, 05:56:44 pm

Just wondering......! I haven't (yet!) but today I was doing some 3 storey houses and my Carbon SL2 was under a lot of pressure. Just wondering if anyone had their SL2 or any other pole snap.

Only when I left it leaning against a wall and it was blown over; an expensive lesson learnt me thinks  :'( :'( :'(

You shouldnt snap your pole in the wind even at 60 mph, but if you let go and drop it then it will probably snap  ;D

There seems to be a common theme running through this thread; " my pole snapped"  :-\ :-\ :-\

Snapped the third section of my carbon Brodex pole on friday.It snapped right in the middle of the section,whereas i thought it would have gone nearer to a clamp.I was shutting a window with it as opposed to the wind breaking it.Am waiting until July for a new Gardiners pole.
