How to release pole pruner handle

18 years ago

I have a Florian pole pruner and while using it a week or two ago, extended the handle. Now it will not let go and retract to it's original length.

Several emails to Florian have not been answered so I thought it best to post here to see if anyone has solved this problem.

I have put WD-40 in there and it will not twist so that it can retract.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

My experience is that WD-40 doesn't work that well. You might try another lubricant, e.g., PB Blaster. Try hitting the connection with a non-destructive tool or piece of wood to break the bind. The phone number for the Florian customer service is 860-628-9643. E-mails also do not work that well.
