It would be difficult to write a review about an extension pole that would crack open the Earth, tear apart the sky, and end world hunger due to its shear awesomeness. I mean, it's a pole that extends. So I won't shoot for razzle-dazzle. I'll just say why I like it and what I use it for, and let it be that. Sorry, I know that's disappointing.
I use this extension pole with the unique and surprisingly effective gadget called
Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning Tool - Improvements
. My parents' home is two stories and I don't like having to shimmy up top to clean the leaves out with a leaf blower. I ESPECIALLY don't like the thought of my parents attempting this feat, so I bought the Gutter Sense and this pole to mount it on.
The pole is fairly lightweight, yet sturdy. Even when fully extended it holds up with the usage of the gutter cleaner. It does bend a bit at the slimmer portion when I'm trying to haul out a clump of leaves and I get the device caught on a gutter support, but that's to be expected. The locking collar for the extension is a nice, heavy plastic that is a very effective anchor - it really does tighten things down securely. The plastic threading on top of the pole for attachments pairs with said attachments well - there is no cross-threading or poorly defined areas on the threading that would lend itself to damaging the pole or accessories. I really like that the attachment I'm using secures very well to the pole - no coming loose when I bump it on something, etc. It tightens down and stays that way.
My final reason for liking it: it's made in the U.S.A. Given how many products are being made overseas for less money and (usually poorer quality), it is nice to see this device, as simple as it is, made here.
Cheers!
