EVERSPROUT 7-to-24 Foot Telescopic Extension Pole (30 Foot Reach) | Heavy-Duty Sturdy Aluminum | Easy Flip-Tab Lock Mechanism | Twist-On Metal Tip Works for Squeegee, Duster, Paint Roller (Pole only)

After researching the Docapole and Eversprout extension poles, I could not ascertain which one was better via my online research, so I purchased both along with their associated hooks. My son and I used these products to hang Christmas lights high in trees outdoors. There is simply no comparison between these two products. The Eversprout extension pole is the way to go! This product does exactly what it is supposed to to: extends and retracts easily, stays locked when extended and is sturdy when fully extended. We used it for hours to put up and take down Christmas lights and it worked great. The Docapole on the other hand is a complete waste of money. It bent after only 3-5's times stringing lights (in about 15') and would then not retract. I returned it, but had to go to a packaging store as it was too long to fit in the box it was shipped to me in. The Docapole was flimsy and cheap. The hooks were similar in function, but I used the Eversprout one much longer and was happy with it. Buy the Eversprout pole and don't look back - you will not be disappointed (it's costs less too!).

It works, but comes with many scratches.

The rod is sturdy but not waterproof. It becomes heavy in the water, and water doesn't drain out easily.

I've tried several extension poles and while this one is my favorite, a couple of improvements could be made to the design. 1. The bottom end cap should be reinforced or made of threaded metal. Ours broke or wore out after a couple of weeks of use and it caused the pole to fall apart. The company was nice enough to send a replacement pole. They were extremely professional and responsive with their service. I reinforced the cap on the replacement pole in order for it to last longer. 2. it's not easy to tighten the extension joints without a tool and often times you need to tighten the clasp in the field. I've seen some designs where you can twist the clasp to tighten, but on this design it appears that you need an allen wrench. 3. The pole only comes with a threaded end but I have some tools like my fruit picker that use a non threaded end. You can purchase an adapter that threads on to the pole, but it would have been nice for that to be included with the pole since I assume many if not most people will need a non-threaded end at some point.

Great 24' heavy duty pole! High reach and very strong. I like that it's made of 3 sections instead of 5 sections which i think makes it more sturdy because it doesn't bend as much. If you're thinking about buying it don't think twice. This is the right one. I love it.
