Im just suprised we keep getting pix like this.  1 would have hoped that skyrunners would be improving build quality and QA.

I mean every brand has had problems , big or small, but have worked to correct them. It just mystifies me, when you consider manufacturing cost v sale price. It really doesnt need many pennies spent to stop this sort of thing. We hadnt heard much skyrunner bashing in ags. Id hoped they had raised their game

Hahahahahahaaaaaaa. Don't make me laugh Q.

Boweii Powerwell are pretty crap by the looks of things, their stilts are awful, their sales technique involves advertising them as "Powerskips" and they seem to have done NOTHING in a year except release "newer" models (of which I have yet to see any difference to the "old" model) with no improvements to quality at all.

oh there's a difference in the new model, it no longer has a plastic footplate, well not a whole one at least...and apparently the footplate can tilt if you remove a bolt...but wait can't any footplate tilt by removing a bolt or 2?

Nope, not actively. You can only adjust.

ES, that was a joke.  ANY footplate can pivot if you undo enough bolts.

lol it was a joke...but was also semi-serious aswell, but i've just noticed, it's not just a weld thats come undone, that would be understandable, the metal has actualyl snapped around the weld???

so the weld is stronger than the actual metal *goes to find some skyrunners and a welding torch* Tongue
