GREAT AS DESCRIPED,ARRAIVED FAST , VERY HELPFUL

I bought this extension pole to use alongside a can sprayer accessory so that I could spray bug spray on a wasp nest that was near the roof of my two story house. I was very happy with it. It extends from 5 to 12 feet. You extend it by flipping the little switches and extending it how far you need it and then flip the switches back to the lock position. The switches work wonderfully and are quick and easy to use. When filly extended, The pole did have some flex in it, but overall was still sturdy enough for me to get the spray can into position and spray the nest with pretty decent accuracy. When I was done, I was able to quickly set it back to 5 feet for easy storage. I am super satisfied with this product and highly recommend.

Showed up damaged beyond repair or usual use, but looks like a great tool! I got their smaller poles and they're working great. Seller was kind enough to both let me keep the damaged one and refund all the money. I will be buying more in the future.

Nice extension pole. I plan to use it with a picker basket to pick citrus at the top of my mother's orange tree (yum!). Good deal for the price. Three best features: 1) strong metal screw end, 2) a groove in the poles that keeps them from spinning, and 3) nice hand grips. I expect many years of occasional use around my house. The locking clips are sufficiently sturdy for normal use, but probably not daily comercial use. The pole is very rigid at minimum length (5') and a bit flexible at full extension (12'). Nevertheless the pole is plenty sturdy for a paint roller or picking fruit. A more rigid pole would weigh more than the rigidity would be worth.

This works well. The “clamps” are a huge improvement over the older twist styles. It’s lightweight considering its size, and maintains its structural integrity when extended. The foam padding probably wouldn’t hold up well if I stored this in my garage. I’m in Florida and the heat combined with humidity pretty much kills this type of material within a year or less. It’s not a big deal to keep this in my broom/linen closet though - which I do. I receive no incentives or compensations for my reviews. A 4 star rating usually means I haven’t had an item long enough to evaluate its durability / longevity - that’s what gets my “5th star”.
