the end section of my pole (unknown brand) is spinning, making it very hard work to get consistency whilst cleaning.

i have tried to tighten the clamp section up, but no joy, its as tight as it will go and continues to slip.

can you get replacement collar/clamp sections from anywhere?

[Alex Gardiner]

You can get replacement clamps for most poles. Post a digital photo on here and someone will be able to identify it for you.

Two popular types are:

Xtel


and
Universal

universal is the one!

cheers again alex.

know any stockists?
 

[chris@c.m.s]

If its universal then push the lever as far as you can the opposite way to normal, works for me anyway.

take the section out and put some tape on it and put it back in, problem solved

Take both of the both outs and run an angle grinder down the gap,hence making it wider, worked for me on my old fibreglass pole years back when Nelson was a boy.

as ian said put masking tape on then with a stanley cut between the claws, works great

[Window Washers]

Simon the clamps are fine, you need some tape only

pole or clamp?!

ian my man, will buzz you 2moro and chew your ear off, did my house today and got a few things to ask.

unless the weathers nice and you fancied coming across for a bbq? mrs ww and kids welcome...as long as she drives ;o)

[chris@c.m.s]

Must be a different clamp to mine then, are you sure?  this is how I meant and it does buy a little more time with a worn pole. maybe you need to tighten the clamp nut first though.

exactly the same mate. maybe i am just a weakling and couldnt put it that far back! 

think its been nipped up a few times already, but i knew that before i bought it, so its not a problem, it was cheap cheap cheap!

will prob just get a new clamp to make it easy.

[chris@c.m.s]

Not sure a new clamp is your answer its usually the wear on the pole that's the problem.   

[Brian B]

I have this problem on one of my poles, two sections will not tighten up properly when they are fully closed up, with mine it is wear on the pole but only at the point where they close, what I do is tighten the clamps with about an inch of the pole still protruding.

[Window Washers]

I would say that it is not the clamp, put the tape on the pole wear the clamp will sit over it, when you can me I will explain in more detail for you.

I am highly surprised you have not called already as I was expecting it.
