Drennan Specimen Extending Handle

For any experts on this handle and are aware of the problems that can be had with 'locking' up or worse not locking up and can fix... look away.

I had a problem with mine last Monday, damn thing wouldn't slacken off no matter how hard I tried... didn't really matter but if I was on a Lower Severn peg could have been a problem. Anyway got home and unscrewed the cup that covers the washer...and sprayed a large amount of 3 in 1 oil in more hope than expectation...the handle freed itself up and is as smooth as a window salesman tongue.

Just thought I would share. :(
 
No it’s not, it’s a penatrant. It helps free off sticky joints. It however displaces oils. Personally I’d go with silicone grease but a lighter oil like 3-1 is ok.
