I now know they're made in China and I have to say that if I had known this earlier I would have also got the matching wallet ;D
 
yeh ive heard that ! Best to keep the key for em close to the bed in case your left cuffed to the bed post and cant get out ;)
 
true i had to get rid of mine cause the main bars bent after 2 weeks and the strap buckle fell to pieces
 
I have those stilts you have bought Bruce and like mark says, the square nuts come loose.

I bought a pack of new nuts/bolts for mine as you can easily lose the square nut.

Its not a major problem because you can still wear them when the nut falls out.

sound, im pretty good at keepin things maintained so I'll keep my eye out! cheers for the heads up lads ;)
 
Just so you know, the nuts that come loose on mine are where the orange sticker is. The part where you tighten the side support.
 
Ive got visions now of being on the highest setting and nuts and bolts falling out at random like a salt shaker!
Thats that bloody Ste Cov recommending cheap cr*p to me! ;D ;D

Get some nut lock or sping washers on them should do the trick.

Was thinking that , thing is they've used nut locks on the foot parts so why no put em on every where? Cuttin corners I Guess. ::)
 
i have got dura stilts, had them years and they cost a fortune at the time, spend a bit of time adjusting the compression on the spring to suit you weight it makes all the difference :)

I have the Dura-stilts too. The Carobyn guy was at the tool fair in Exeter on Friday handing out Dura-stilts brochures. You can get the padded cuffs for £38.75 + vat. They also do fixed height stilts Spunky.

If you intend to use your stilts a lot then go for Sur as Grand says, or Dura-stilts.
