Swimline HYDROTOOLS 83565 2-Piece Telescopic Pole 8 to 15 Feet Adjustable Telepole for Swimming Pool Cleaning Skimmer Nets Vacuum Heads & Brushes Step-Up Anodized Aluminum W/Strong Grip & Lock

I've gone through several pool poles because they were either cheap and would dent and bend over time or they weren't long enough. Not anymore! This pole is very nicely made with thick aluminum, so it holds up well. It's also plenty long for my large pool. I can reach any part of it with the great extension this offers. The pole stays good and sturdy when extended too. the turn knob to lock has a nice grip and hold the pole in place well. An added bonus is at the end where the attachment goes, there are these clip covers which help big time with getting the attachment on and off. No more fighting with those white plastic clips. The only possible negative is that the pole is slightly heavier than my old one, but that's because it's made a lot better...well worth it! If you're looking for a good pool pole, get this!

I received yesterday. My pool needed emediate attention, so I used it ASAP. Did great very sturdy,we'll built, very happy with my purchase. Thanks very good product !....

Great telescopic pole at a fair price. Easy to extend and lock into place.

I've had pools at two different houses since 1989. Both pools were old and needed lots of attention. Both were diving pools over 25K gallons. So I have done my share of brushing and vacuuming and leaf raking/skimming. Normally I work with 3 poles -- 8-foot for brushing, 12-foot for raking/skimming the surface, and 16-foot for vacuuming the bottom. You can buy one telescoping 16-foot pole and do all three. But sometimes I have help and two poles is better. I own two 12-foot and one 16-foot -- all from Hydro Tools. These work the same as my previous poles with one exception. I had an internal locking (cam device) and it corroded and failed. So these Hydro Tools are actually my preferred locking mechanism, external collar with twist nut. You can still have problems, but more easily solved with a bit of WD40 or some wax. Poles are still aluminum and quite susceptible to corrosion if left standing in the pool or sunk to the bottom for the winter... not going to work (telescopically adjust) again after such treatment. The blue anodized finish is pleasant to the eye and smooth. The internal tube appears to be coated, but not color anodized. The grip is average and not too large like some I had before, that only I could comfortably hold with my glove size XL hand. I could give this 5 stars only if I were convince no other pole was better, but I bet those hundred dollar poles made of fiberglass are better if you like to spend more on your tools. But read the reviews on the cheap fiberglass pole, I did and it was not good. So I bought the Hydro Tools poles.

This product worked well at the start but within a few weeks the screw lock to adjust the pole will not stay tight when I am vacuuming my pool and the little white rubber at the end of the pool slid's off too its not worth it, I would return it but I think its to late so I am stuck with it.

This is a very sturdy pool pole and extends nicely. My #4 rating was I had an awful time getting my net unhooked from it.

I actually am using this to clean the snow off of my satellite dish! works perfectly. i also purchased a compatible brush that snaps on the end. here is the link to that: Hydro Tools 8230 10-Inch Pool Floor and Wall Brush: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FGU2EQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

Pole arrived in great packaging but the end of the actual pole where the skimmer/attachments fit into was bent back on one side making it impossible to connect an attachment without bending back the original bent portion. Also a big dent in side of pole just above the attachment holes. I have an Amazon Prime Account and paid the extra $3.99 for next day arrival, I ordered it in time on June 3 for June 4th arrival at home. All emails indicated I was good to go for 4th delivery (Saturday). Did not ship until Monday 6th, then arrived on 7th. Sent emails about all issues on 8th. Still no response. I included pictures of the delivery condition. Won't buy from these guys again. It was SO obvious that the pole had problems - no one cared is all I can surmise.

Exactly as advertised. Great quality, easy to use, Saved a lot of money.

Product arrived with no damage and works greats. Very happy with it.

Works as expected, much lighter duty than my other one but easier to handle for many.

Good product if you can get it at a decent price .

solid product for the money.
