Can anyone recommend a super-hard epoxy or plastic filler? I've got a pole saw that I love, but the holes were the adjustment tab catch are getting augured out and I need something to fill them in (obviously though it needs to be something I can drill another hole into though).

I like that one suggestion about wrapping a piece of sheet metal or something around the perimeter of the tube, but it’s gotta be thin enough to slide up and down through the main tube, and I’m not sure wrapping metal around the inner tube would allow for that

The fiberglass idea is a pretty good one. If not that, JB Weld makes what they call a plastic weld or plastic epoxy. It comes in either black or white, they are supposed to be the same mixture, just different colors, but I have found that the white stuff, does not stick to whatever you are trying to glue back together very well at all. At lest the three tubes of the white epoxy I got did not work for crap. But the black plastic weld works very well. Not sure what that's about.
The fiberglass will be more of a mess to deal with, but I would bet it will work better.
