Removing pole grips
I have an old pair of beat up scott poles and I'd like to transfer the grips to a new pair. What is the easiest way to get the grips off?
Thanks

Crock pot full of hot water and let them steam 20minutes to break down any glue and then yank them between the door jamb and door.

If you don’t know how to boil water but have vice grips, a wrench, and a hammer try this. Tighten the vice grips around the pole, place the wrench around pole just below the grip, smash the wrench with the hammer knocking the grip off. Legs and/or armpits could substitute for vice grips if you’re talented.

Oh and some of the older ones have a plug in the top of the pole, remove the screw that holds the strap.
BTW, no one mentioned don't pull into yourself, no skewering, etc...

Stormrider knows what he's talking about. A getto way we used to do it in our little rental shop is this. Put two chairs facing each other with the pole just below the grip wedged inbetween. Stand on the two chairs and pull the shaft verticle minding not to poke your eye out.

That's waaaaayyyyy too much work. Soaking them in anything that will hold enough hot water (you can even use a bathtub) makes it a hell-of-a-lot easier. Make the water as hot as you can out of the tap (i.e. don't boil it, or heat it on a stove).Originally posted by Foggy_Goggles

Uh, OK dude...That's why ski shops always keep a pot of water on the stove. I've pulled grips off hundreds of pairs of poles. If the yanker was at another store, his is what we'd do. It really takes about 10secs.
