Hi guys and Gals,
Has anyone else found that SKY VAC poles are absoutley poop!  5 broken in 18 months! WTF.

Its it the expensive carbon fibre ones?

Sounds like misuse to me we have broken 2 in around 6 years, they are delicate compared to aluminium ones but provided you don’t abuse them they are fine

I found out I have to spray ends with WD40 before fitting together, if not, I find them hard to come apart. I bought a half size one which comes in handy in tight spaces.

You should not be putting WD40 on carbon poles it soaks into them causing swelling and delaminating
