12' DocaPole Extension Pole

I wanted to paint my house without the enormous expense of scaffolding. Falling off a ladder did not hold much appeal (how surprising! LOL) and without someone to foot one while I worked I thought I was stumped BUT THEN I found this Docapole. It is a quality piece of kit. Built to last and useful for oodles of other high up tasks not just as a painting tool. Docazoo sell separate accessories that can help you to carry out dusting and changing light fittings and they also sell replacement combo tips too which they supply from their home country if you ever need another. Dont be an ass like me...the strongly made plastic combo tip is within the shipping box but in separate packaging. Mine fell out as I opened the box and got hidden by a pile of papers. I thought it had been shipped with just the screw tip, which is permanently attached to the pole, so I got in touch with Docazoo and found out how well they handle their customers. Brilliantly, I must say. After emailing them THEN I found my combo tip where it had hidden itself from me and had to write to say a big sorry for wasting their time. So, unpack more carefully than I obviously did. Okay? LOL. It features good stiff clasps at each section to stop each extendible part from slipping down and since it is only a couple of metres when not opened up it can fit into cars and be stored easily. Honestly, it is nowhere near as wobbly as you might imagine it would be even when it is fully extended. It wobbles some when I use it but I am a woman who is only 5ft 4 ins tall with weedy little arms :) Put it into the hands of a strapping fella (sorry girls but on the whole we ARE shorter and weaker) it will be a doddle to hold steady. It is actually pretty light in weight too but not flimsy in any way. I was delighted to find a credible alternative to scaffs and ladders and am very pleased and proud of my purchase :) I want to say a big thank you to Donald from Docazoo. You are not only the world's most patient man (cos I am a right idiot) but your product is ABSOLUTELY THE MOST USEFUL extension pole that I have ever found. It extends to a massive height! Please pin a star on your chest, DONALD. Thank you :) I was thrilled to find my adjustable plastic tip but didnt half feel dumb! I have no hesitation in recommending this product. Now please buy one folks! You will be as happy as I am and your high up tasks will not go undone for lack of the right tool. The best tool!

Make sure you get the right length tool for the job, a 3 metre pole won’t reach up to clear gutters on the top of a 2 floor house. You’ll need the 7 metre version. PROS - It’s quite light and ok for a healthy adult to wield for cleaning gutters, you’ll have to find and use an attachment for gutter clearing - they aren’t supplied with this of course. You can find them on Amazon. It does have weight to it especially when extended - so will be a struggle for people who aren’t very physical. The pole sections are nice and stiff and easy to extend and retract and very smooth. The locking mechanism with the levers feels smooth and progressive - with a positive lock that never came undone. It is very well made. The pole grip area is very good too but I wish it was a little bit longer - higher up the lower pole. It’s worth the money and the best one I’ve used. CONS - When fully extended it flexes a bit - a good 150 to 200mm side to side but only when meeting a stubborn obstacle in a gutter. So acceptable and it didn’t break. I got a free cleaning brush attachment that was unfortunately smashed on delivery but that is not a reflection on the equipment. It was also half out of the packaging. Overall a great piece of kit happy with my purchase. Pity about the delivery - which was also late.

24ft pole purchased, easy to use,does flex a bit when fully extended because of length but still does the job of cleaning the windows so l am happy with my purchase easy to extend and retract used it a couple of times now would say it is of Good Quality,shame you don't get the window cleaning tool with it you have to buy separately,but curiously you get a dusting tool with it handy I guess if you have exceptionally high ceilings.

This thing is fantastic. No hassle, ready straight out of the box.very light but feels surprisingly strong. I used it with the gutter scoop and had my gutters empty, from the ground, in the time it would have previously taken to set my ladders up. I then decided to wash my windows. Again, within the space of 10 minutes, 6 windows cleaned from the ground. no climbing up and down, moving heavy ladders and more importantly, no risking my safety carrying tools up and down. off the top of my head I have half a dozen other jobs I know this will be brilliant for. its going to save me a lot of time and effort.

This is really handy and great quality. It didn’t seem particularly cheap at the time, although I went for the longer version, and it seems a lot at a time for an extending pool, although it’s not a cheap 6 foot extending pole from the corner shop. I used it with a roller fitted to the end and treated the whole side of a house with water repellent… as an old house, it worked really well even at the high point which was over 35+ feet.. it’s of course a little Bendy at full length or nearly full length, although still more than adequate to do the job.. I saved having to use long ladders and move them 50 times which would take hours of work, or saved £300/£400 for somebody else to do it.. so the product saved me a lot of money, and I still have it!! Took me less than an hour to do the whole side of a house ..

Reasonable light weight depending on your physique I guess - seems durable and stable - took a few weeks to arrive for a prime product 3 stars due to delivery time - just said was arriving then cancelled and eventually said let you know when it’s arriving without any reason - stuck with it but nearly cancelled a few times because of the inconvenience of waiting to carry out the work

This is an extremely well made pole - strong and sturdy. It is heavy for me (woman but fairly strong). I got it for roof snow removal because all the dedicated snow removal rakes were sold out. I have not tried it yet but my gut tells me it'll be cumbersome even with a 1 story roof and not a steep pitch. It has no give. So quality 5 usability for snow removal, unsure. UPDATE : I sent this back and got the 24'. The 30' weighs 6 lbs. which I thought would be no problem as I have and use 8lb weights. The height and being able to use it was too cumbersome and physically tiring. Also the pole extensions, although well made, took a lot of effort to extend. The 24' pole weighs 4lbs but also seems quite heavy. This time, I will not unpack this until I am sure I can use this pole vertically. I just got it so have no idea how it will go. The return was very easy. Amazon came and picked up my 30' pole and dropped off the 24' - all within 24 hours of my return and reorder. The only thing that made me nervous was no receipt from the Amazon driver when he picked up my returned 30' pole. On line however, shows my return is in transit.

Super well made, super usable, super poll!

Super Teleskopstange,nutze sie mit einer Actioncam,perfekt um aus anderen Perspektiven zu filmen.

La utilizo junto a un kit para cambiar bombillas en un cine.Es de aluminio,muy larga,con buen agarre(bastante ancho,pero hace falta al ser tan larga),y muy manejable.Las presillas tienen pinta de ser un poco fragiles,por lo que las manipulo con mucho cuidado.Acabo de probar a ponerle un cepillo universal para contestar a la pregunta de un cliente de amazon y encaja perfecetamente.Desde mi punto de vista,muy recomendable para bombillas/limpieza en techos de gran altura.

muy útil para mi cepillo
