Quick Lok brush sockets .... seem very brittle ??
« on: April 13, 2015, 08:32:18 am »
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/goosenecks-pole-fittings/plastic-gooseneck-system/quick-loq-90-brush-socket.html

Switched over to these about a month ago and already broke 2 .... one the pole fell about 4 foot and the second one I knocked into a gate post but not with much force .... fair enough both times my fault but the plastic seems to shatter to easily.

Not end of world at £3 a pop ... just ordered 4 to keep some spare but pain in rear

Maybe its me being heavy handed but nothing I haven't done in past with no damage ?

no need my quick lok is very very loose as the gooseneck had been sanded down when it arrived ... the brush wobbles from side to side quite a lot ..... maybe that's why ive had 2 quick loks go all the side to side movement maybe weakened the socket ??

then again I did bash em into the gate post / drop on floor so prob down to me but will see how the ones ive ordered get on and will make sure I don't knock / drop em .... if they go again then maybe alex can take a view on my gooseneck as in has it been sanded down too much ??
