Damaged brodex pole

Messages

Hi guys and girls, I know the company and their poles are not the best, but I recently started up on my own and had to buy cheap. So these hardly used second hand poles were ideal. Basically I bent my 37ft pole slightly closing a window. I think It must of already of being slightly damaged as it didnt use much pressure. Tried to bend it back straight and kinked it.

Anyone any ideas/tips on how to fix it?

Apart from forcing another tube down to hope it pops out like a dent would i reckon your stuck bud, im based in devon and have a brodex 35 you can have - it needs the clamps replacing but you could just switch it with the bits you already have

As an alterantive a gardiners CLX is the best £150 you will spend for a cheaper pole you will also find you work quicker than with them horrible vilkan brushes  

 
I think its knackered. Get a hybrid pole (clx, barracuda, something like that). I cant remember who on here said it but turn you pole upside down and use bottom of pole to close windows, bigger& thicker sections so lot less likely to break

 
Yeh iv been using gardiners for the last 2 years with the company I used to work for and wouldn't recommend anything else, best poles in my opinion but somone offered me a 22 &35 brodex that were basically brand new for £50.

Cheers for the offer ash but I'm based in Leeds would be a bit of a drive!

My plan was to take it to a panel basher and see if he has any ideas.

Iv taken the dented sections off the top and slotted my 22ft pole into the remaining sections so iv got a solution for the mean time. Not ideal though. I'm used to a nice light weight gardiner slimline 35
