{"product_id":"aus-fibreglass-base-rod-bung-hollow-1-2m","title":"AUS Fibreglass Base Rod \u0026 Bung Hollow 1.2m","description":"The AUS Fibreglass Base Rod Bung Hollow 1.2m is an essential component for creating a stable and extendable pole system. Designed for use as a base section, this rod features a bung at the end, providing extra protection against ground impact. Whether you are using hook, pruning blade, or lopper adapters, this durable fibreglass rod ensures a secure and reliable connection.\r\rAUS rods are manufactured to the highest industry standards, fully conforming to EA TS 43-81 requirements. Each rod undergoes an external grinding process to achieve a smooth finish before receiving a high-gloss lacquer coating, enhancing durability and weather resistance.\r\rEach AUS rod is individually labelled with an AUS manufacturer’s identification, voltage rating, and a unique serial number before dispatch. Manufactured under ISO9001 quality assurance procedures, AUS rods offer consistent performance and reliability. For specialised applications, electrical testing and certification are available upon request.\r\rDue to the nature of fibreglass manufacturing, each rod may vary slightly in colour, though we strive to provide the clearest possible product image for reference.\r\rCompatible with AUS \u0026amp; Stallion intermediate rod adaptors\r\r⚠ WARNING: Do not operate near overhead powerlines or power sources unless fully trained and experienced in using such tools.\r\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\u003cul class=\"checklist\"\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003e1.2m fibreglass hollow base rod with protective bung\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eDesigned to create an extendable pole system\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eCompatible with hook, pruning blade, and lopper adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eConforms to EA TS 43-81 industry standards\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eSmooth external ground finish with high-gloss lacquer coating\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eIndividually labelled with AUS identification, voltage rating, and serial number\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ISO9001 quality assurance procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eElectrical testing and certification available upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\u003cul class=\"checklist\"\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eBrand: AUS\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-quality fibreglass (hollow core)\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eLength: 1.2m\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Hook, pruning blade, and lopper adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eFinish: Smooth, high-gloss lacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eBase: Bung for ground protection\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eCertification: EA TS 43-81 compliant, ISO9001 manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eElectrical Testing: Available upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eCompatible with AUS \u0026amp; Stallion intermediate rod adaptors\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch4\u003eWhy Choose the AUS Fibreglass Base Rod (Bung) Hollow 1.2m?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e✅ Strong and durable – Designed for stable, high-reach pruning\r\u003cbr\u003e✅ Ground protection – Bung prevents wear and damage from impact\r\u003cbr\u003e✅ Extendable system – Compatible with multiple adapters for versatility\r\u003cbr\u003e✅ Industry compliant – Meets EA TS 43-81 and ISO9001 standards\r\u003cbr\u003e✅ Reliable identification – Clearly labelled with manufacturer details and voltage rating\r\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\r\u003col\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eAttach the desired adapter (hook, pruning blade, or lopper) to the rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eSecurely connect it to an intermediate or top rod to extend reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eEnsure the protective bung is correctly positioned on the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eTest for stability before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\r \t\u003cli\u003eStore in a dry place when not in use to maintain longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"AUS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":57401891324236,"sku":"ROD012","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/2878\/9324\/files\/AUS-Fibreglass-Base-Rod-Bung-Hollow-1_2m.webp?v=1779370450","url":"https:\/\/outdoorprofessionalproducts.com\/products\/aus-fibreglass-base-rod-bung-hollow-1-2m","provider":"Outdoor Professional Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
