Hi Harry,

I've never used the Fox Cam Lock Bank sticks, so sorry i can't comment on them.

I used to use Nash Bank sticks, The front ones that the alarms went onto i used 12 inch bank sticks and for the rear ones i used 16 inch bank sticks. Both sets of Bank sticks were extend-able so they do come up quite high if you need a little extra height.

Gardner and Solar also make excellent bank sticks but you will pay extra for them.

Regards

Steph.

I've got the fox banksticks with the powerpoint in 20", also use the longer ones as storm poles on my reflex brolly and can't fault them. They're light, strong and screw in easily; the little tommy bars bend easily though as they're alloy!

Avoid JRC stainless. Nice price,sh*t quality.

Only two out of the four I bought in the summer are now usable. As soon as they go Ill be getting some Matrix.

still using the green nash auger point jobs after something like 5 years...... flirted with matrix this year - great quality and inestructible but expensive andweigh a ton! good thing is you can sell them for pretty much what you pay for them on flea bay!
