so won some line dart poles in a prize pack for a competition and i was wondering if there was a way to take their grips off so that i can cut the poles and use the grips again? ive heard line grips are riveted on, but there has to be a way to get them off.

thanks for your help

i just ran them under a tap full of hot water for a bit, then stuck the grip in a vice and pulled it off

i dunno. i read an old thread that said all line poles have rivets in them. probably not true. and i did read in that same thread that the OP got his grips off, but this was a year ago, and different line poles.

ill try boiling water tomorrow

email line directly. it's a much faster way to get a guaranteed correct answer instead of listening to other peoples guesswork.

yea, undo the bolt and take off the pole strap, and then hold the grip in boiling water for a minute or so, and then take it out and use a towel on the grip end, and maybe put a park glove on your other hand for grip on the pole and twist and pull

yeah i usually put it in boiling water then take it off, i have a tenancy to break poles alot but i reuse the grips and put them on other poles. so when i put them back on i put the grips in boiling water. after ive cut down the poles i will either wrap the poles with tape to make a really tight fit or i just use epoxy to get the grip to stay on. what ever is lying around. but yeah definitely heat it up before putting back on or taking it off
