Does anyone know what the little button clips like in the pole of an ice shack to extend them  and then they lock the two poles from sliding   are offically called and who would sell them??

I've seen them somewhere on-line but don't remember where.........big help, huh.

Try and search frabill or Beckman net is in or near Madison,WI i think.maybe they would have or at least direct you where you need to go.

ok the best i can figure according to freepatentsonline.com is, it is called a spring loaded pin lock. However i could not find anywhere online that sells them..... they may be called something else after the patent was granted.... sorry i couldnt help more.

Are you refering to "detents"? REI or some other online camping supply store may have them.

If we could get a picture of what you're talking about it would help a long ways.
Descriptions in print are funny, it may be crystal clear to you but someone else could be scratching their head with a puzzled look on their face.

Bull float handles have them also. When you slide one handle onto another you push in the 2 little buttons on the one handle then the other handle will slide over them then they click into the holes on the handle you slid on. Hope this makes sence that was a little rambly ha!
