Clam Push Pole Buttons

[thedanimalkmk]

Can I get these at any local hardware stores? I know that I can order them directly from clam but they want 12 bucks to ship it the 30 miles to my house. Thanks for the help.

Did you actually lose them? On the clam's that I have they just slide their way up the pole a little ways. They are a "V" type mechanism with the button attached...they seem to slide every time you have a little frost inside the pole.

are you talking about these? I'm confused because these things shouldn't be sliding up and down the pole.

they had them in stock at Thorne Bros a couple weeks ago.

oooooooooooooo they do. If they move just a tiny bit they don't line up with the push button. I just put some black elect. tape around them. They stay put and you don't even notice the tape is on there

Mine slide up and down and/or fall off all the time. I'm thinking about throwing some zip ties on there.

Hmmm. Pretty sure in the set up manual for my house it said to put the elec tape on there. Maybe that's why mine don't slide around

I did snap mine on last year in -20 air and broke a couple of them. Clam Girl on the phone said warm 'em up first. Then she shipped me half a dozen of them on the house. Thanks!

I know several local sporting goods stores sell those for around $8.00

If you're talking about the push buttons that are inside the poles, Grainger, Fastenal and 7 corners hardware should carry them. Otherwise I know McMaster Carr has them.
