Both my zero sections for the supalite have split,
I need replacements rapid, where can I get them from ?
Gardeners are out of stock and they are not due in for a while.
-
whats a zero section?
-
Dave,only thing i can suggest is nip to a fishing tackle shop and take the next section that it fits in to and see what you can get to fit ;)
-
is it the brush head small section part?
I would suggest the same thing, get along to a tackle shops and ask to see their poles.
-
Not sure what you mean by zero. Is the small bit that connects section 1 to the goose neck? If so, I would be tempted to try wrapping a few layers of duck tape around it
-
Thanks
I would but then you have to glue the thread piece etc, i need something off the shelf, i have a million and one things to do without diy'ing bits and pieces for work.
But maybe I am going to have to though.
Yes it is the tiny section, they hacve split lengthways away from the threaded insert, hence the gooseneck falling from a great height ;D
-
If you do Dave,don`t forget it`s probably section number 4 on the fishing poles ;)
-
we currently have duck tape, but it has some hard work coming up so want a permanent fix.
If things go wrong with the staff, i have to travel to patch them back up again, just like i had to on monday morning at 6.00am when i got the call

i take it, it had got a wack onto the glass?
the threaded piece is probably glued into place on the sl anyway (dont shoot me if im wrong :D ), so if you do it yourself it will prob only take 10 mins to DIY.

You patched your staff up ???
-
Patched the poles up.
I noticed a week ago tiny cracks appearing around the threaded section, looks like it was just fatigue, my supalites are used more or less everyday, so they do get some use.
-
you employ eastern europeans ???
-
how do you get on with the sl2 dave with employees? mine have snapped the no.1 section and i need to order a new one. ::)
i have now banned them from using it unless real high work. think i've gone through 5 replacement sections in 10 months :(
-
Dave, you could try a whipping like they use to hold fishing rod rings. A whipping using nylon thread, fishing line would do, coat the thread with Araldite and it should be like new.
-
Dai
ha good idea. Could try that on all the sections.
Steve
so far 9 snapped sections, we usually slide them through each other with some glue and tape then they last a little while longer.
Even thought they get snapped etc i reckon it is still more cost effective than using extel at a similar height because of the speed and ease of use issues.

the pole is second to none for its uses and speed but it upsets my day when a snapped section comes back to me ;D so unless its on some big commercials its staying in the lock up! ;)
-
A metal band/ring round all the female sections would make the pole a lot more durable.
Perhaps something that Alex could take on board, well worth paying a bit extra for.

Drop them in Friday night Dave. I'll have them sorted for you by Monday morning.
