As far as the author's Main complaint of the holes getting wallowed out as long as you hold the button while you extend the pole and don't rapidly pull it out (without the button pressed, makes sense? How my hand-me down got replaced. Last guy...) I have never had a problem with any of them in that regard. They are thicker, the hand end holds up alot better. One of the things I actually don't like about the pole and is 4 holes where you're are attachments go. As a pool guy you're trying to be quick and sometimes it clicks right back in which is petty I get it, but if one of the sets of holes are going it's going to start cracking and taking the other two out as well. All three of the poles that I got brand new all need to be replaced the same way probably at the same spot. They broke on the extension at one of the holes while putting a small amount of pressure (in and unfavorable way but still was like really?)but I wasn't pushing and pulling and I was vacuuming that being said they were tired old at that point and got me thru the day. if your pool guy and you're reading this you know that without a pole you can't work each time I had the full pole and half of an extension to work with for the rest of the day and it works fine. I can't remember the first two but the last one I had I had repaired as in cut the bottom and drill two new holes for the third time before this one broke. I can't say how long the pole lasted but being that it's a little bit thicker metal and you guys know how long it takes to bow out the bottom I would say that's pretty impressive. But to also not fight those twisty cam poles when they get stuck extended or almost fall in the pool because the cam slipped in is pretty much worth it! Im sold, and the grip stays in place and doesn't really wear out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123142899546757370noreply@blogger.com
