Aqua Select 2 ½ - 7 ½ Foot Telescoping Pool Vacuum Pole | Heavy Duty Aluminum Pole for Leaf Skimmers, Pool Brushes and Vacuum Heads | Expandable Swimming Pool Pole

I payed a lot more money for my old pole and it was supposed to be heavy duty. It wasn't. This is much, much better and cost less.

The first one that came was broken (the clips were cracked). They replaced it and that one works great. Good quality.

It works well and easy to assemble but a little wobbly if you make it the longest it can be. Doesn’t feel sturdy.

The pole can extend far enough to easily scoop leaves that got under the netting from the very bottom of my pool. the purpose for which I bought it. Care does need to be taken to insure that the tighteners are screwed down tightly, because if a section of the pole slips out, it is a hassle retrieving the sunken sections. This caveat is true of all extendable poles I've purchased, however, and not specific to this one. A heavier pole might be better for keeping a hand vacuum on the bottom to suck what gets left behind, but this was perfect when used with my net, which filled up quickly and needed to be removed and shaken to empty it often. Perfect for what I wanted.

Last year, I made the mistake of opting for a cheaper, store-brand Telescopic Pool pole, which, while initially $10 cheaper, turned out to be a frustrating experience as it constantly slid in and out on its own after just six months of use.  I decided to try this Telescopic Pool pole, and boy, am I glad I did! Despite being only $10 more, this pole is 10X better. The build quality is top-notch, with a nice weight to it that gives you confidence in its durability and reliability. Using it has been an absolute pleasure – no more annoying slipping issues while brushing or cleaning the pool. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and this pool pole is worth every penny. If you're in the market for a dependable pool pole, look no further – this one is a winner!

Pool store prices no more.This shipped quick and no damage. Works fantastic and very happy. Will buy again.

The locking mechanism is not strong enough and the inner rods slide easily when pressure is applied.

Best length ever. I should have bought one three year’s ago.
