Bates- Telescopic Extension Pole, 12 Ft, Aluminum Alloy, Sturdy Multi-Purpose Extension Pole with Flip-Lock Design for Painting, Dusting and Cleaning

I’ve used a lot of cheap extension poles over the years, and most of them either wobble like crazy, twist under pressure, or lock so poorly you’re terrified the roller is going to fly off mid-stroke. The Bates telescoping pole is legitimately one of the best budget options I’ve found that doesn’t feel like a total compromise. What I love: • Surprisingly sturdy for the price. Fully extended to 3 feet with a 9-inch roller loaded with paint, there’s only minimal flex (way less than the generic orange ones at the big-box stores). • The twist-lock mechanism actually works. It grips tight and doesn’t slip even when I’m really bearing down on ceilings or high walls. • Lightweight aluminum with a soft, cushioned foam grip that doesn’t get slippery when your hands are sweaty or painty. • Universal threaded tip fits every standard roller frame I own (Purdy, Wooster, Shur-Line, etc.) and also accepts threaded broom handles or dusting attachments if you want to repurpose it. • Extends smoothly from 17 inches to 36 inches, so it’s perfect for reaching 9–10 ft ceilings without a ladder in most rooms.

Great item heavy duty and resistant, bought it to place a brush on it and it works great

Well....um...there is no roller. It's a stick. Lol thought the sentence ended with "roller." Seems like an awesome stick, super easy to extend though!! I'll holler when I use it.

Worked very well

About 2 foot closed in. Probally 3.5 feet extended. Very light weight. Good for DYI Projects. Not professional grade

Great value. Recommended. Seems like one of the best ext poles. It is 5’ long retracted and extends to 12’ with two ext rods, each adds about 4’ each. The clamp is my favorite type to hold/secure at needed length. The mounting end is the standard screw type for brooms and painting. It is metal too. Two foam cushions on the lower end for your hands. Nice.

Great value for the money. Seems strong enough. I extend it to wash my commercial truck. and keep it collapsed to use it to flip up a rear vinal door of the trailer out of the way. Easy to use. Extension clasps are sturdy and hold well. Grips stay in place. If you need a pole, this seems to be a great buy. I was pleasantly surprised as this price made me think it would be lower quality. It's worth more than they are charging.

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.

Perfect for painting, very sturdy and good if you have limited space as it’s also quite compact so great for hallways.

Na paar keer verven is de verleng paal kapot gegaan nog en paar keer geprobeerd om hem weer inelkaar te zetten. Helaas is dit product niet ontworpen om lang mee te gaan. Weggooit geld dus

Sehr praktisch!

La misura, per me, è perfetta

Recently purchased the DIY Detail brand Perfectly Safe Brush - Head Only (Australia). Prior to getting it I'd checked U.S sites for the type of screw thread it had & U.S Standard 3/4" ACME popped up a lot. I didn't wan't to take the chance Australian "Universal" in our hardware stores would be identical (google didn't think it was) so purchased this Bates Extension pole 1.4ft - 3ft which had to come from the U.S. Although the description for it didn't state Standard US or ACME, it was the correct thread & screwed on securely. The Pole diameter is excellent & feels sturdy in use. Delivery was a lot faster than quoted. This length pole allows me to reach just over half way on my Forester roof.
