PLEASE NOTE: X-POLEs no longer come with spanners! The sets & poles have been modified
so that the tightening rod & hex keys are the only tools required.
"Basically we made a fundamental change. We increased the size of the hole in the adjuster,
made longer release rods with stop o-ring, which goes through the adjuster hole.
Using the release rod to tighten and release the adjuster makes it easier to install,
& safer as there is not spanner to slip or drop.
As the nut only needs hand tightening or tightening slightly the rod is fine for this and releasing it.
The flats are still there if the nut gets stuck to put an adjustable wrench on.
It is all detailed in new more detailed instructions."
The new instructions are included in the pole set with the new tools. But this is different from the DVD.
The DVD is still the original one, included more to explain the concept as opposed to the exact assembly.
For assembly - in all cases refer to the instruction manual
as it now covers the new adapters, the carry cases, single joist use etc.
