Did you try submerging the grip in boiling water for a bit?

Heat gun. You can remove the straps from BD grips too if you don't mind the grip/just want to get rid of the straps.

Help remove BD Traverse Ski Pile Handle
Are they the older style blue or red ones like the picture below?
If so dip em in hot water for a while then hammer them off.
And, if you do replace them, can I have them please? Love those handles and swapped a pair between random alu rental poles for years till I lost one in a small slide.
Edit, I can’t post pictures on here anymore? I’m talking of the older handles like these- https://www.campsaver.com/black-diam...-shed2366.html

Definitely the boil, but I'm guessing you've started with that and still no motion? My method after boiling is to clamp the handle in a vise with soft jaws and wrap some old bicycle or moto tube around the shaft a couple times and twist from that

I get pole handles off by putting the pole between 2 skis or 2x4's and pulling back fast n hard
don't they have a screw on top, does that work some kind of expanding plug ?Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Anybody tried the BD releasable straps? I like skiing with straps (old nordic habit, I think). But am obviously concerned about the various things that can happen with straps that don't release. I need to use my Leki Triggers more often, but I hate the adjustment mechanism versus Flicklocks.

I usually fill the basement utility sink or a bucket with hot but not boiling water, and let them sit in there for a few minutes. If I can't just twist it off at that point, I adjust my soft jaw vise so that it's a little wider than the pole, but narrower than the grip. If you just have a regular vise, you can use tape to make it "soft".
Then I start with the pole parallel to the bench, between the vise jaws, about half way between the grip and basket, and give a swift hard pull so that the bottom of the grip hits the side of the vise. Grip usually pops right off.
edit: so basically what xxx does, but less ghetto ;-)
