I have the model 108526-01 Remington pole saw which has the round pole with a plastic compression nut (which recently broke). Can I buy the newer octagonal pole and if so, does it use the same saw mounting hardware as the old pole.

I have the sollution, had the same problem with the broken compression nut. Just use two hose clamps, one to hold the pole extended and the other clamps around compression base. Its a cheap easy fix and it work great fo me. The Real Mr.Fixit

You can find the oil cap and bulb assembly but like the original user, I cannot find the compression nut on the pole. It has split and I cannot keep the saw from twisting. Is there a new pole? Is it worth buying? Where do you find one? Thanks, irishgmc

Yes one hose clamp works well enough... just clamp around original compression nut area, (may have to chip off some of old plastic to do so but it works.. ) oil caps can be found but I forgot where.

Need oil cap 108526-01

I phoned these folks and was told they would not ship to Canada!
