ProTuff 12ft Heavy Duty Telescopic Pool Pole – Unconditional Lifetime Replacement - Instant & Reliable Extension - Universal Fit for Nets, Skimmers, Brushes & Vacuums - Anti-Slip, Comfort Grip

PROTUFF Poles are simply, excellent. Their pole & slide lock is properly weighted and an easy to use. And, if you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or similar you will enjoy their lock system. WARRANTY. They stand behind their product. No, I have not had problems per se, but after 5 years and even with care, parts wear paticularly if you are spending good money on a good product, you use it. 100% I placed the claim and then the replacement came, quickly. Protuff is recommended if you understand pools and are frustrated with bending, breaking and sticking parts. They belive in their "490 Promise" and that alone is refreshing.

This is the BEST pool cleaning pole that I’ve ever used. It doesn’t slip in length while you’re using it. It’s easy to adjust and you don’t need to tighten a knurled nut with your wet hand, which will not get tight enough to keep the length constant. The length locks into where you set it and it STAYS there. Then it’s easy to release. Rather than loosen a wet knurled nut that you had tightened as much as you possibly could previously, just press two buttons and it releases. This pole has improved the quality of my life! Well, almost. I TOTALLY recommend it. (I was not compensated for this review in any way.)

I haven't gotten to use it in the pool yet, but I can already tell I will love it. My old pool poles (all 3 of them!) would not stay adjusted to the length I set. I don't know for sure if it is because the locking rings got weak, or I don't have the hand strength to crank it tight enough. But when I put pressure down while brushing the pool bottom, it would slide shorter. Very frustrating. I can tell that will be impossible for that to happen with this pole because of how the adjustments lock in. And it is so easy to change the length. I'm gonna love it!!!

I love this pool utility pole. It’s amazing. It is effortless and so well made, I actually enjoy using it. Yes, a little pricey. But I’ve had a pool in my life for about forty years and this pole is the single best one I’ve ever had the luxury of owning. Simply said, this is the best and I’d highly recommend it.

I've had this for two years so it's time to offer a review:At the time I ordered, they only had the 12 foot one available. I fortunately ordered it anyways because of my frustration with other poles and am glad I did. This is so much stronger that it's been OK being short.I cannot believe it's been only two years since I bought it. Every time I pick it up I remember the pain of working with bending poles in the past. This was an outstanding, time saving purchase.

I very highly recommend the pole! I've been using three of them for years - one for the ProTuff silt leaf net, one for the larger ProTuff leaf net, and one for the ProTuff brush. The locking mechanism is a game changer and so easy to use compared to the pole we had before. It's very easy to adjust the length as needed and it has a long length that easily enables me to get all across the pool. I haven't had to use the warranty for the pole, but I've used it for other ProTuff products and it was very simple to make a claim. I very highly recommend the pole, especially when paired with the other ProTuff products. And you can't beat the lifetime warranty!

Great quality products, really sturdy and built well - exactly what I was looking for. Works so well! I wish I found this brand sooner, before I wasted my money on other cheaply made junk. I reached out to the company to ask some questions about their warranty -what a terrific company that cares, they were so kind and helpful. I am very happy with my purchase!

Broke in less than a year. The pole itself is sturdy, but the cheap plastic that holds the two pieces together is garbage. It is stuck shut and therefore useless.UPDATE: the company has a good warranty and I received a new one. Subtracting one star for the hassle of having to buy a cheap pole in the interim. Like I said the pole is sturdy, and the company sticks by their product.
