A broom stick can be used for a paint roller in a pinch, but it's not the ideal tool for the job. A broom stick is too wide to fit into most paint roller trays, so you'll end up with a lot of paint on the floor. And, because a broom stick is so wide, it will leave behind a lot of streaks. If you're in a bind and need to paint a room quickly, a broom stick can work in a pinch. But, for best results, use a paint roller designed for painting.
You can attach a paint brush to an extension pole to help you reach high places or to paint large areas without having to ladder. Most paint brushes have a hole near the metal ferrule that you can screw an extension pole into.
No, not all paint rollers fit extension poles. Depending on the size and type of paint roller, you may need a specific type of extension pole.
An extension pole is not strictly necessary for painting, but it can make the job a lot easier. With an extension pole, you can reach high ceilings and walls without having to use a ladder. You can also use an extension pole to paint hard-to-reach areas, like behind radiators or in tight corners. If you're planning on doing a lot of painting, an extension pole is a worthwhile investment.

Very well crafted as a paint pole, and I've tried a lot. The amusing part is that I purchase them so that I can use the fiberglass to create unique wheelchairs. For some reason, finding industrial suppliers who provide fiberglass tube in these dimensions is nearly impossible.Jiffylock was the best FRP I had tested in this size range up until I got this today and pruned it. Similar in certain ways, however I like the gray hue better than the yellow-green. It cuts with less fine dust and is almost odorless. Additionally, it takes only a few minutes to remove the label on this instead of ten with solvents and scrubbing. Price is comparable. This is now my new benchmark. Here is a spex.per foot, 3.9 ounces.Give or take a couple thousandths, the following measurements are accurate: OD = 1.254" and ID = 1.09". I believe the variation is primarily the result of careless micrometer use rather than true ID variation.Excellent dimensional control is present. Some fiberglass tubes have poorly controlled wall thickness or aren't completely spherical. Unlike some, this surface has a fine texture and sheen. 27mm OD and 32mm ID tubing for telescopes. It's not a cheap hazmat unidirectional pulltruded, however I'm not sure of the production technique.Although I don't frequently write reviews, I feel compelled to do so when a product is either incredibly excellent or quite terrible in my opinion.

We live in a low rainfall location and have pine trees that drop needles on it, so the solar panels may become fairly dirty. I got this to reach solar panels on my roof. I purchased an attachment brush with standard "acme" threading that fits the threaded end of the pole securely and conveniently.The pole is simple to extend and retract, feels comfortable in the hand, and includes grips that are simple to hold firmly. Standing at the top of my ladder, I can extend and retract it without feeling like it's too tough or throwing me off balance. The pole is simpler to handle and move than anticipated, even when fully extended with the brush at the far end resting on the solar panels. When two neighbors came over to check what I was doing, there was obviously some pole envy.My initial reaction after using it for the first time is that I would absolutely buy it again. We'll have to see how it holds up over time.

Two weeks ago, I required a pole similar to this to retrieve some items that I couldn't reach. I borrowed a lightweight apple picking pole and set it up for my daughter, but I wasn't happy with how rigid it was when I reached out at the 12 foot length. I chose this DocaPole because it had three components and a collapsed length of just under 5 feet for simple carrying, and I thought the locking mechanisms were sturdy. Now that I have a sturdy extension pole, I am putting together a package of extra tools and adapters for the 3/4" ACME thread to make it easier to accommodate other anticipated purposes. One that seems promising will let me use a 1/4"-20 machine screw, or a 3/8"-18 machine screw, washers, and locknut if I drill it out, to bolt various jerry-rigged tools of my design. Finding a similar "grabber" instrument that is rope-activated and used for pruners on a pruning saw pole is something I really want to do.

The pole performed flawlessly. At its full length, it is not technically rigid, but I didn't anticipate it to be. At 12', a pole that is light enough to handle easily won't be completely stable.Since I knew the plastic component would eventually break, I asked the manufacturer if I could buy a few acme-thread inserts for later usage. Free of charge, they sent me two of them. It was a pleasant surprise, that.To avoid the lock-up some people have reported, I sprayed some teflon spray on the pole and locking mechanism. Additionally, that component of the assembly was flawless. That might be a different tale in a year, but given the teflon coating, I doubt it.

Although I did not utilize this product exactly as intended, it was the best I could find and it worked fairly well. This equipment allows me to utilize a brush attachment to sweep tree debris to where I can reach out and clear them from my third story attic dormers, saving me from having to extend and struggle with the 40 foot ladder to get to my third story box gutters.The foursquare house style from the middle to late 1920s lacks a walking roof area and has a very steep roof pitch. This leaves me with two choices: grappling with the ladder by making a few dozen up/down excursions, or "walking" the perimeter on the edge (Box Gutters are 8" wide) all the way around, three stories high. These alternatives weren't really tempting.With the use of this tool, I can now sweep dirt away from or toward me, where I can pick it up with my hands or a shop vac.The pole does flex at its full extension range (I had it extended to around 21–23 feet), as was partially predicted. I had to develop a control technique, but it ended up being more effective than I had anticipated. I advise using the metal threaded tip, as I did, for its increased durability and versatility in use. Additionally, there are numerous attachments accessible.Could the maker take into consideration adding a functional "claw"-style attachment that could grab and release something, like my downspout guard? However, I am grateful that I made the purchase and would advise others to do the same if the application is appropriate.

It's smaller than I had anticipated, but it gets the job done, and it beats climbing a ladder to replace my indoor par 38 bulbs. You must use caution and check the suction. I checked to see if it stuck by pushing up and letting go of the pole. As long as the suction cup is centered on the bulb, removing the bulb is acceptable. Replace by strategically positioning the bulb on the suction cup and screwing it in while being careful not to overtighten. Before lifting, the thread is clipped on and used to gently draw and remove the suction cup from the ground. Just be careful not to drop the bulb. As I said, it's better than the alternative but a little delicate and can take a few tries to get it perfect. Lol.

To paint a high wall, first you need to gather your supplies. You will need a ladder, a paintbrush, and a can of paint. Once you have your supplies, set up the ladder next to the wall you will be painting. Make sure the ladder is stable before you climb it. Once you are at the top of the ladder, paint the wall with long strokes. Be careful not to get paint on yourself or on the floor. When you are finished painting, carefully climb down the ladder and clean up your supplies.
It can be difficult to paint high ceilings without a ladder or scaffolding. If you have a high ceiling, you may want to consider hiring a professional painter. If you decide to paint the ceiling yourself, make sure to use a long-handled paint roller to avoid having to climb up and down a ladder constantly. Start by painting the ceiling corners and edges with a brush before using the roller to paint the rest of the ceiling.
If you're painting a tall wall and don't have scaffolding, you can use a stepladder or an extension ladder. Make sure the ladder is firmly set before you start to climb. When you're at the top of the ladder, rest your arms on the top of the wall to steady yourself.
If you're looking to paint something high up, you'll need an extension pole. But how high can you paint with an extension pole? The answer depends on the length of the extension pole and the type of paint you're using. For latex paint, the maximum height you can reach is about 20 feet. For oil-based paint, the maximum height is about 10 feet. Of course, you'll need a ladder if you want to paint anything higher than that. But if you're just looking to touch up some paint or reach a small area, an extension pole
A paint pole should be long enough to reach the highest point you need to paint without having to use a ladder. It should also be lightweight and easy to maneuver.
