Product Information
Full details
This ProDec Extension Pole is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional painters tackling smooth interior surfaces like walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is providing extended reach for up to 9" rollers, making high or difficult areas more accessible. A minor caveat is its optimal performance on smooth surfaces, potentially less effective on heavily textured walls. The pole features a lightweight, two-section steel construction with a quick twist-lock mechanism for secure length adjustment.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this extension pole can support?
The pole is designed for standard paint rollers (up to 9") and is not intended for heavy-duty applications. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it's built for typical interior painting tasks.
Can this pole be used for exterior painting?
While durable, this pole is optimized for smooth interior surfaces. Exterior surfaces may have different requirements, and prolonged exposure to weather conditions is not recommended.
How do I clean the extension pole?
Wipe the pole with a damp cloth after each use to remove paint residue. Allow it to dry completely before storing.
What is the range of adjustment for the pole?
The pole adjusts from 3'6" (107cm) up to 6'6" (198cm).
Is the push-fit adapter removable?
Yes, the push-fit adapter can be removed to reveal a universal screw fitting, allowing for compatibility with a wider range of roller frames.
What type of surfaces is this pole best suited for?
It is ideal for smooth interior surfaces such as walls and ceilings.
How does the twist lock mechanism work?
To extend, loosen the collar, slide the pole sections to the desired length, and then tighten the collar to lock it securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Pole does not extend or retract smoothly
Ensure the locking collar is fully loosened. Clean any paint or debris from the inner and outer pole sections.
Locking mechanism fails to hold the length
Check that the locking collar is tightened sufficiently. Inspect the collar and pole threads for damage or debris.
Roller frame does not fit securely
Verify you are using the correct fitting (universal screw or push-fit adapter). Ensure the adapter is fully seated if using it. Check the roller frame's attachment point for damage.
Pole feels unstable or wobbly
Ensure the pole is fully extended and securely locked at the desired length. For maximum stability, avoid extending the pole to its absolute maximum length if not necessary.
