Repairing handles on telescopic loppers

DSmiffy

Hi All

Wasn't sure whether to post here or on the DIY forum, hoping someone can advise.

I have a pair of Rolson extending handle loppers. The handles are broken, they should twist and extend and then lock, but now they just twist and the whole handle comes off, I am unable to extend them at all. Can't work out what it is that makes them extend and lock. I'm assuming the rest of the tube is stuck inside the handles.

Has anyone else had this problem and can it be repaired?

Thanks

Have you tried You Tube? My Mr Fixit has repaired no end of things after watching videos on there, everything from tumble drier to secateurs.
