Just snapped a section on a pole less than a year old and not a daily pole. Was wondering what the most durable carbon pole might be?

Just got a SuperMax myself. Gardiner seem pretty confident in them, was told that apart from accidental damage, they’re pretty much bulletproof (I can put up the actual quote if one wants, just need to find it). Going cheap at the moment since thry’re changing the range.Just snapped a section on a pole less than a year old and not a daily pole. Was wondering what the most durable carbon pole might be?
It’s a super max that is snapped. Oddly on section 4, about 8” from the clamp.
I’m now wondering if one of the guys has bust it and slid it back in.............
Mate I would contact them and discuss it with them. They maybe able to help you figure out what’s happened, plus they do sell spare sections. In fact, why don’t we bring the man himself onboard, lol!It’s a super max that is snapped. Oddly on section 4, about 8” from the clamp.

Cheers chaps. In all honesty, we do use our kit quite roughly. The pole sections can quite often be rubbing against a gutter or pv frame, as it’s the type of work we do. Cleaning windows, the poles are rarely in contact with anything.
Thanks Alex, I’ll cut off the end (there’s plenty of pole left) and take some photos.
It would be best if you take photos before cutting the end off. Photos showing the whole sections and then close up of the break area from all around the section (top, bottom, sides) Also include photos of the base overlap area of the section that goes inside the broken section (section #3) this will help with assessment.
With any carbon pole a hard impact from sharp edge can snap a section if there is enough force in the impact. Whilst carbon is very strong and rigid if an impact is focused across sharp edge it can snap the wall section at that point - sometimes evidence of the impact can be seen other times it cannot if it was a clean and very focused impact. If being used on solar arrays then it is possible that the pole did impact a sharp metal edge in use.
