Fiberglass, Aluminum & Wood Extension Poles

When your project needs you to reach into high places, such as painting your home's guttering or cleaning windows on upper floors, climbing a set of ladders might seem the obvious choice. But another option is to use an extension pole. Doing so offers several important benefits.

EXTENTOOL contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Benefits of Using Extension Poles

Extension poles can remove the risk of falling from a height, while also letting you cover areas quicker without moving ladders from place to place. What&#;s more, because you won&#;t need to extend yourself as much or frequently as you work, an extension pole can reduce arm and body strain. And with its compact design, it can be stored and transported easily&#;much easier than a ladder.

Choice of Extension Pole Materials

Our extension poles are available in a range of materials to suit your task.

• Aluminum: Our most popular material, aluminum extension pole material is highly reliable due to its combination of easily handled weight, high strength and rugged weather resistance.
• Fiberglass: A fiberglass extension pole is a solid option when working around electrical installations. It's made from a non-conducting material for an extra level of safety.
• Wood: You can use a wood extension pole to extend an ordinary broom for sweeping higher surfaces, or hard-to-reach or partially covered areas such as under a deck.

Fixed vs Telescoping Extension Pole

If you mostly use your extension pole in the same way, such as cleaning the same set of windows each time, choosing one with a suitable fixed length is a convenient and straightforward option. Fixed poles are made in a single piece and so offer both strength and durability.

For a little more versatility, a telescoping extension pole can be adjusted to reach varying heights for each task, before shrinking back down for compact storage. A telescoping pole is also easier to use with a bucket than a long and unwieldy fixed pole. However, a telescopic pole is slightly less rugged because of its moving parts and joints which may not be suitable for especially heavy-duty jobs.

My husband&#;s review: I mainly got this because my kids constantly get toys stuck on the roof, in trees, and over the fence in neighbor yards. This pole makes it much easier to get those toys back into my kids&#; hands. The hook attachment I got with it is super helpful. I use it for all kinds of things. I&#;ve been using the pole for several months now and I wanted to wait to leave a review until I had really tried it out. It&#;s pretty easy to use, but I do have some minor complaints.

1. While it is lightweight it still seems pretty heavy when it is completely extended and/or I need to hold it more horizontal than vertical. I&#;m not sure I could expect much more though since I don&#;t want to it be any more flimsy than it already is. Which brings me to my next point&#;

2. It is a little flimsy. I&#;ve been pretty careful with it and even so some of the sections are getting bent. I don&#;t try to pick up or lift anything heavy either. Once a pole gets bent it makes it harder to extend and retract that section. It doesn&#;t slide out nicely anymore like it once did.

3. While adjusting the levers to extend out another section, the screw that is on the lever moves (tightens), making it so I can&#;t fully bring the lever flush with the pole again because it it too tight, if that makes sense. I&#;m constantly pulling out a screwdriver to loosen the screws on every lever so I can bring it all the way down. Otherwise, the levers stick out form the pole and get caught on stuff while I&#;m using the pole (like tree branches or the chain link fence).

4. I hadn&#;t had it long before one of the sections came out completely when I was extending it. Normally it stops at the end so you know when you can&#;t extend it anymore, but that time it just came right out, caught me by surprise and fell on my patio. This cause two sections to get a little bent. I was able to bend them back so the pole still works but know I have to be extra careful with that section to not extend it all the way out. It happens to be the second section too, which I use a lot.

5. Using the pole makes my hands dirty. It&#;s like extending and retracting the poles makes it rub off a little bit of the metal each time, and it creates this sparkly dust that gets all over my hands. Not a big deal but annoying.

All in all I like having it. I&#;m not sure if it is worth the hefty price but I can&#;t return it now anyway. I think I&#;ll have to be very gentle with it in order to keep it in good condition.
