There is a blue lever in the middle of the pole, pull it back. After you pull it back,take a hold of the pole and pull it out. The pole will become a lot longer and cleaning your tubs and showers should be much easier.

There's a blue latch in the center of the pole, lift the latch and pull each end of the pole to extend it after you extend it push the blue latch back down.

You have to manually fold it. The pole has an internal shock cord and works just like a folding tent pole. To close it, you first push in a button with your fingers and then collapse the height adjustment section to its most compact position. Then you pull apart each folding section slightly until they come apart and then manually fold each one against the other to make the pole collapse to its compact size so that it can be placed in its fabric sleeve for storage or carrying around. This takes about 10 or 15 seconds to do. The inner elastic is just there to keep the pole sections together during storage and so that the pole does not fall apart while you are using it.

I couldn't get mine to unlock at first either. Finally I gave it one last try, and yanked hard. You have to hold the bottom of the pole and turn the upper pole to the left while yanking. It will eventually unlock. Then extend your pole and twist the upper pole to the right to lock. After you get in unlocked the first time you will not have to struggle to unlock it again. I am a 66 year old lady and I got it unlocked.

You need some way to slip it over the pole it does not come a part. Either slide it down from the top or lift it up from the bottom.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

mine came with 0- instructions I don't know how the poles should go together

As telescopic pole, one piece fits inside the other. There is a twist lock, like a screw, that tightens the two together. You loosen that and the pole slides down.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

I have one of these and it works well, but you do have to use their pole for it to work right. It attaches by the little push button release.

They must have changed the design .. The model I have, the handle comes in three pieces that fit into each other. I've had other products that have telescoping handles, and they tightened or loosened by twisting them. Hope this might help.

You should contact the company; mine doesn't work well but with some tinkering it's okay. It's a pain.

I had the same, waiting for the return email from CS. Mine snapped on the aluminum casing the joins the to black poles. It's a shame because the rest of the product has been solid, if they would have only gone with a thicker gauge on that connector. Going to ty coming up with a custom bind, maybe pvc, for the time being.

Answer below is correct. I've found every tool I've purchased attaches the same way to the pole. Use one and you know how they all work.

I agree with the response from BLU.IT WAS A LITTLE TRICKY at first but follow the instructions and make sure you line up the button with the hole before pushing the poles together slowly until the button pops up in the hole.

There are some videos online that show some modifications you can make to improve various aspects, including the problem you mentioned. Mine did that too when I first threw it at a log. There is a small screw in the side of the head of the tomahawk. You need to take an allen wrench, unscrew it, push (or tap with a tool) the head towards the fatter end of the stick then re tighten the screw to hold it in place. There are other ways to solve this with a couple of different methods but that way si the easiest and fastest.

I had the same problem, the button is actually a pin that goes through the rod that actually spins, I accidentally pulled the whole thing out of the machine, and when i put it back it didn't line up properly to "pin" the rod in place, I had to wiggle it around until it finally got back in place.

There is NO pole. It has a 3 inch neck with a clap around it. You have to provide the pole, insert the pole into the neck and tighten it with the clamp.
