Am I loosing it?

[Happy1]

Am I loosing my strength? I have an extendable aluminium brush for cleaning the boat, but I find it near impossible to undo the locking part to either extend it or if I have it extended to slide it back down. I have had to use adjustable wrenches to open it before, and even after applying a liberal amount of grease it still sticks. I find the pole bends easily but that is not the problem, just the unscrewing of it.

Any ideas what I could do, apart from keeping it up all the time?

I'd suggest you lay off the viagra for a while.

Try some PTFE type lubricant on it.

P.S The above is a joke and I really do not think that Happy has ever "lost it" or will ever "lose it"
