The Ultimate Guide To Best Telescopic Poles - Extentool

How do you "choose the right telescopic pole for your project"? If you browse through our catalog, you will be overwhelmed by our extension pole product lines.

Different lengths, materials, threaded ends, fluted, fixed lengths - the list of options goes on and on. With so many different extension poles to choose from, we thought it would be helpful if we provided a help guide.

Start by asking yourself these three questions.

What will I be using the telescopic pole for? How often will I use it? How high or how far do I need to reach? The answers to these questions will help you narrow down your choices.

An example: A homeowner will be painting the exterior of their home this summer. They will want to use the pole to paint the inside of their home sometime later this year. Their home is two stories and they have a cathedral ceiling at the entrance of their home.

Because of the multiple uses and high range needed, you will need to choose either a heavy duty or professional type extension pole. In addition, the following rule of thumb applies when determining the length of extension pole to purchase.

Your height minus 6 inches, plus the length of a fully extended pole, tells you how high you can reach with a pole of that length. Most two-story homes will require you to use an extension pole of at least 18 feet.

A heavier fiberglass pole suitable for painting may not be the best choice if you intend to use it for dusting only. For dusting, you can choose lightweight aluminum or steel extension poles.

When choosing between aluminum or steel rods, most aluminum rods and sliders are anodized to prevent rusting and provide smooth extensions. Steel rods will rust over time, so if your application requires contact with water, do not purchase steel rods.

What to Know: Professional vs. Consumer Extension Poles


One of the most common questions we receive is about our extension poles. To meet different needs, we offer three distinct versions. Our Professional Line is our top-tier option—lightweight, highly extendable, and premium in quality, making it ideal for professionals. For a more budget-friendly choice, our Standard Consumer Poles provide reliable performance for everyday tasks. Lastly, our All-Purpose Consumer Pole is designed specifically for homeowners, offering ease of use without the features required for professional window cleaning. Let’s break down each option to help you choose the best extension pole for your needs!
When it comes to professional-grade extension poles, strength and durability are non-negotiable. That’s why our poles are engineered with a fluted and serrated design on every section, making them 20% stronger than the competition, even at full extension. Built with the finest materials, these poles are virtually indestructible, ensuring long-lasting performance in any environment. The click-lock feature provides a secure and effortless tool change, allowing you to switch between squeegees, scrubbers, and other attachments with ease. Designed with precision tolerances, our poles offer a perfect friction fit for all Ettore tools and even competitor tools, making them the most versatile and reliable choice for professionals.Crafted from heavy-gauge, rust-proof aluminum tubing, our extension poles are built for maximum durability and long-lasting performance. The fluted design enhances strength while providing a secure grip, even in wet conditions. With a fast open/close tapered clamp system, adjusting the pole to your desired length is quick and effortless. The threaded and tapered tip allows compatibility with a variety of cleaning tools, while the click-lock feature ensures they stay securely in place during use. For added convenience, each pole includes a built-in hang hole for easy storage, making it the perfect tool for homeowners.
Differences:When choosing the right extension pole, it’s essential to consider both reach and durability. Our Professional Poles offer the longest extension, reaching up to 32 feet with a 4-section design, while the shortest option extends 2 feet with a single-section pole. For Consumer Poles, the longest extends to 16 feet with 4 sections, while the shortest is a 3-foot All-Purpose pole designed for general household use.
Professional Poles come with a variety of replacement parts, including pole tips, cone and clamp assemblies, replacement grips, and #1 replacement sections. Additionally, angle adapters are available to enhance compatibility with various tools. On the other hand, Consumer Poles do not have replacement parts, making professional-grade poles the better long-term investment for those needing customizable and serviceable equipment.
Where to Buy:When it comes to purchasing extension poles, choosing the right retailer can make all the difference. For Professional Poles, we recommend trusted suppliers like J Racenstein, Detroit Sponge, Windows 101, and Window Cleaning Resource, which cater specifically to industry professionals. If you're looking for Consumer Poles, you can find them at Ettore.com, Amazon, Lowe’s, Home Depot (online), and select Smart & Final stores. However, we highly recommend purchasing in person whenever possible, as shipping costs for longer poles can be high due to their unusual size. Visiting a store allows you to find the best fit while saving on shipping expenses!
