I have a couple of 10 mtr rods on a reel but sf don't seem to do them any more. They are made by super rod part no. is 61815-001. They seem more useful than the rods on certain jobs.

yes. ive never snapped one yet (although someone who was helping me did once). there are a few that have started to split so are now covered in tape, but they are all still in good working order

I've had the Screwfix ones for about 4 or 5 years now and I have snapped one of them (absolutely my fault cause I was trying to bend it too much), pulled the end off another (stuck in a cavity) and my mate dropped one down a cavity whilst trying to hook a cable!!!

Apart from this they are very good and have got me out of quite a few difficult situations,,, well worth the buy!!

I'm on my second set, the first last me a couple of years but eventually they start to splinter and the fibreglass is a right ****** to get out of your thumb, for 15 quid I thought I'd get a fresh set

all you need to try to do is keep from putting to much angle/bend where the brass thread is crimped on the fibreglass.

my top tip is when drawing back Always undo each rod as its available to do so as if you don't thinking your wasteing secs it gets curled up behind you then thats when they snap

wrap tape round them and it solves that problem

I have two packs of 'em. But there are some jobs, tightangles/spaces where you need a more flexible rod.
