Credit where credit is due, Brodex have today surpassed all my expectations.
I have a 25ft fibre glass pole from them, which I have had about 6 months, and throughout the time, I have replaced a couple of clamps, and levers, which I thought I was not really great, but fair play for sending the bits out (although nominal cost for Brodex). So, wasn't too happy with the wear and tear, but put it down to just one of those thing I had to accept.
Anyway, today I rang to chase my order for 36ft alloy, and mentioned my current pole is as good as unuseable due to clamps, section wear etc, and thought I may get some new clamps, but Kevin offered to replace the pole under its 1 year guarentee! Absolutely took the wind out of my sails, and put even more faith in the new pole than I already have from the reviews on here.
So, getting a new pole sent out, and should recieve the alloy one next week too! Happy days!
Well done Brodex, really appreciate the service!
