Tiny parts drive me CRAZY !!!

[synthnut]

I'm told that this part that I am thinking of is called a "Spring Clip " ......I have needed these clips from time to time and can NEVER find them anywhere .......Can anyone point me in the right direction ? ......They are the little clips with 2 little balls on them that you push in when you want to adjust your shaft to go longer or shorter , and they pop into the next adjoining set of holes ......What are the called, and where can I find them ....I'm gonna get dozen of them so I have them on hand .....Thanks, Jim

If you buy a unger window cleaning pole as your upper shaft to lighten up your shaft they have one in them to use as a spare. Lacking that, I'd order them from a window cleaning supply house. Very cheap. Get several. The ones used in unger or etore poles are good quality.

Jim if you did not order them yet, or for any others needed them.The are much the same as what is used in crutches or canes that are aluminum.The ones you pay too much for when you kid breaks a foot and the hospital sends them home with crutches! You see them at every tag sale you go to.

Thanks again , I appreciate the tip !!....I couldn't have done this wtihout you !!......Jim

Also, local paint supply stores carry the unger or etore window cleaning poles for painting and might carry the clips.
