I still haven't received the new clamp levers from Gardiners so before I start chasing them up, are they much better than the old as I've simply repaired them with gaffer tape and epoxy resin and chucked them in my spares bin and used a clamp lever from further down the pole until they've set?

i have had my new clamps fitted now for a week and i still adjust them daily so in my eyes they are the same so what can i say

Haven't got my levers yet either.

Had mine now for over a week and haven't snapped one. Don't seem to be adjusting them nowhere near as much and not getting the problem of them coming loose when pole is extended.

What ever he did it's certainly worked for me.

Also think I may have sorted the grit problem out, will post a separate thread later on this.

Had no problems with the new clamps. Don't think i've had to adjust them in over a fortnight. Had to adjust the dial bit pretty tightly first time though. Just hope i didn't go too mad. Don't think so. Time will tell 

[s.w.c]

i got mine the other week

[p1w1]

Have to say i'm the same as dave i find the new clamps need adjusting just the same as the others on a daily basis... they seem to be a bit stronger then the others overall tho the clamps are still very poor and dont work very well..

What is the point of these "new"clamps.I have to say it has really put me off buying one of these poles!!!Sometimes simple is best and dont reinvent the wheel.

[jouk45]

had mine for a week now, and i have not had to adjust the clamps yet, great pole by the way

[thewaterwizard]

yes the grit is a big problem so much so Ive been using one of
my old fiberglass poles this week dosent mater how careful i am
with the hose the grit gets in i don't have this problem with my
old pole witch seams to defeat the object of buying this new pole (slx)
but the super max isn't anywhere near as bad i only clean it once a week
even this weather

the new clamps seam much better on both poles i used them all  last week

only adjusted them a couple of times well done gardiners

just need something to stop the grit

I'm letting Alex do mine 

Ian
p.s Alex please make sure you look after my pole and thanks for the delivery today 
Have to say the pick up yesterday of my pole within 2 hours was very impressive..................

[pingu]

I have had mine about 10 days I think...and they really are a massive improvement I have them on two poles now and they are much, much stronger ....I am the first to shout when things go wrong with the SL-X but Alex has really shown that he rightly is King of the Pole producers....

Well done to Alex and his team...

Cheers
Dave.

Hi p1w1 do you think Alex might have sent us the old one;s instead  because no body else is having problems? (strange)

[Jeff Brimble]

C/f although it seems inert does expand and contract, ever so slightly, maybe this is why you may have to adjust clamps daily ?

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Do these clamps look any different to the old ones?
I should be getting my pole tomorrow, and I am hoping that its fitted with the new clamps.



Matt

[s.w.c]

Ive had no problems i also don't need to adjust mine regular maybe weekly or ever other, no different to the17ft hybrid i have, that needs adjusting ever other week.

[thewaterwizard]

im sure it will have the new clamps on although if you haven't
 got the old ones you wont see the difference

I reckon i do have the new ones as i think there is a slight difference in them but i am still consistantly having to adjust them on a daily basis. I never had a problem with them breaking its always just with the adjustment to be honest the pole has been hassle from the day i got it with all clamps falling off on the second day of use and severe wear on certain areas on the sections think i got the runt of the bunch
