They are solid. Had mine for awhile and dropped them a few times and no problems.

I got 15's too. They r pretty good. They r still solid, but I have only got it since 2 months ago. I still gotta wait to see they can pass the test of time or not.

I was able to simply twist it and it stayed put. I've not had any trouble with mine.

They are pretty flexible, but I wouldn't flex it all the way to a circle. It might initially work, but then start splitting. At most, I would only bend it enough to make the ends meet, which would make a tear drop shape.

They are not an completely secure fit. It takes little effort to pull then apart. I bent mine trying to make then more secure. That being said, they have not pulled apart on their own.

Hi there! Not the bent ones but the straight, wider ones they sell are. Here's to your good health!

Yes they can spin all the way around and tilt to the side. They are very adjustable. I mounted them onto stands I made and they are great. Worth the price.

Mine are also straight. They have the ridges where the bend SHOULD be, but they are not bent! :\

Yes. You can tilt them so that they look like a "V" from above. I would not say they "spin," however. Minor adjustments are possible without much effort, but, if you want to move them around a lot...and in different configurations....that takes more work.

I had no trouble with them not spinning. They spin pretty well but a few of them seemed loose & slipped off the metal shaft causing me to hit myself in my chin a few times.

You would have to alter the handles someway in order for them not to twist. The rotation of the handle adds variation and a better contraction at the top of the movement. Try them out and see...u can always return them!

I use 45lbs regularly and they have not bent. Have had as much as 75lb on with no bend. They have been great!!

I only have the twist locks on mine. I like them very much. They stay where they are supposed to.

They drop in like the others. I bought two more of the solid ones however since I think they work for my skillets a lot better than the swivel hooks. I found the swivel hooks have a tendency to rotate causing my skillets to bump into one another.

They are solid. They are one-piece handles, flatter and much heavier than the two-piece hollow handles. (Unfortunately, because of their extra weight, I find them easier to drop. I prefer the hollow handles on my original set, vintage 1986. Oh well...)

My experience with the twist locks is that they are very easy to lock and hold. I have had no problem with them even hung 15 lbs of weight from the center hook and still held fine. I am very pleased with my purchased.

No not really... They are metal so they can come down a bit if need be but it is not designed to bend.

Nothing against these poles but when I used them and would put >50% of my body weight on them, the clamps wouldn't really hold and would start to slide a bit. Climbing something with that much elevation I personally wouldn't trust these poles on the way down. I would highly recommend something with flip lock or any other more solid locking systems instead of just the twist-on ones. A little band of rubber 3 plastic flanges is not a lot to put your life on if you take a tumble. If you can't spring the money for the more securely locking poles, consider renting them from an outfitter.
