    Power Pole fiberglass rod cover or coating

    Has anyone came up with a cover or coating to put on the fiberglass rod on the power poles to avoid getting fiberglass in yourself. I always seem to rub up against mine when working on the motor.

    this works as well, just doesnt say "swift, silent, secure" in nice white letters lol, can also just call powerpole and they will send you a set of the new black spikes free of charge ( lifetime spike warranty)

    Mine is a 2012 model so I didn't think they would warranty it, they didn't warranty the circuit board.

    Will they send me the new black version of the spikes just because I have the older version and I am sick of getting fiberglass stuck in my hand?

    its lifetime free spike replacement, they do not care how much you have worn off. Just call tell them you need a new set , they send a new set. However its stored in your history w them so dont take advantage of it.. be reasonable if you need a set. Call and get a set. When people take advantage of such things its when we may lose such things in the future.

    There a great company with great customer service and a great product, thats why even if someone duplicates there hydraulic anchor they will have a hard time finding the success Power Pole has.

    I have two different year blades. They sent me new ones just so they’d match! I offered to pay, they said no way! Be there in 3 days.

    customer for life.

    My spikes have worn down and the poles were sloppy. Power-pole is sending me bushing kits and new spikes. You want get that from the other anchor company. Power-pole quality, customer service, and availability for parts on poles that are years old is why i purchased power-pole!!!!
