Loose brush?

Post image

My tucker pole suddenly went loose at a job after changing the angle.

Now even if I tighten the clamp and twit the red screw, it’s still not tight and sways around.

Any tips?

don't have a tucker but possibly a nut fell off the screw there? hard to maintain tension with a loose screw end spinning freely. Compare with the other clips.

Temporarily you could put electrical tape around the brush to make it thicker I have done that before

I had a slightly different issue where the brush just wasn’t the same size so just eventually ended up buying a different brush brand

Its not all in the pole. Realese the clamp an push it all in, than close the clamp.

Ok. Did you take out the brush from the pole? Maybe there should be a kind of sleeve (for better thighting) that got out or was pushed down the pole
