Thanks, I had a problem with the lower part of my Fit Life pole and disassembling as you suggested cured the problem

I tried both these suggestions, but it didn’t fix one of my poles. On a hunch, I grabbed a long, skinny, spiral brush used for narrow openings in bottles, etc. I wrapped it tightly in a thinish paper towel and using a spiral motion pushed it into the tube. I twisted it several times and when I pulled it out there was quite a bit of black dirt on the towel. I unwrapped the towel and turned it to the unused side, rewrapped the brush and repeated the maneuver. Again, dirt on the paper towel. I rejoined the pieces and, voila! No problem. The dirt wasn’t on the mechanism but in the tube.

Thanks v much for that. I thought my newly acquired pole was faulty! After following your video I realised what the problem was and now have a fully functioning pole

Thank you! I was thinking I had to buy a new pair but this worked just fine and poles are good to go. My old Leki poles are as good as new thanks to you.

Great video. My trusty Leki pole wouldn't lock. The fix took 30 seconds. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I thought I would have to buy a new set or send it in to Leki which would have been a hassle

Thank you for the video. I was ready to toss out my hiking pole, as nothing else i had tried was locking it in. Much appreciated.

Excellent video but with my Leki (screw-type secure mechanism - as in the first pole demonstrated) the tips didn't work. Eventually found on the Leki site the red bit inside the mechanism can stick. Pull off the blue plastic outer (as shown on first pole here), unstick the red 'rocket' with pliers (anti-clockwise to move it UP the thread) and re-assemble. Fixed.

Awesome, thank you :)

Thank you soooo much!!!!

Try the steps from about 1:40 on to see which method fits the locking mechanism of your poles. We covered a bunch of different styles so there is probably something that is close to your mechanism. Happy Trails!

No lube inside. But how would you prevent rust, of the metal parts inside, especially if they get wet?

Birk, using a lubricant would greatly increase the potential for injury. The tolerances of these poles would greatly reduce the introduction of moisture and if sufficient moisture was introduced, we would recommend drying and cleaning.

Yes but you have only told us half of the story what about when the pole gets stuck extended?
