How is this pole working out for me? Not at all. This is strictly for pool trash pick up not for house siding cleanup.

Yes I have. It is cumberson to use. I have we sties 20 lbs. I can't not seem to adjust it to be short enough. So I use it as best I can but I set the arm pole all the way up as far as possible. It works enough. Not loving it though.

Ours is packed away for the winter but I'm pretty sure it's about 1.5 or more. It's a very sturdy pole. We live near shore area and have wind and it seems to have held up well

I'm almost positive but I am out of town. I have a 2 piece pole and was going to send this one back. I'll be happy to check and give you a definitive answer on Saturday 04/27/13. Sorry

I was able to order another pole from ereplacement parts (622892-00). I had to cut off a little piece and it worked. It is still controllable within reason and works well.

the pole is good for up to an 8ft ceiling. I ran into an issue when moving to a new place with a 10ft ceiling. Remedied by purchasing a 10ft pole from the hardware store.

The setup is a bit confusing. But if you watch the video, and take your time, it sets up really well. I've never had an issue with it falling. Sometimes you might have to tighten the pieces. I have been able to do advanced tricks on it without issue. Since it's chrome and not brass, its extra slippery. I use a product called dry hands to make it more sticky. At one point, the little screws at the base wore out and my pole would not lock into static mode. I thought I would have to buy a new one since it was always spinning and I couldn't practice. I took the screws to home depot and they gave me exact replacements. Now my pole is static again and the screws cost about $3. Once I figured everything out, I was really happy with my purchase.

Hell yeah! I love my pole! It's the correct diameter and spins perfectly. Just make sure you put it on a stud and use a level. If it (or any pole) isn't perfectly vertical, it won't spin right.

My husband used this pole recently in Florida and it worked great. The line rating is 10-16 lbs. Hope this helps.

I recently bought mine and have had the same problem. Due to the awful weather, I have taken mine down. I have coated the end of the rod with Vaseline and will use the tape as others suggested when I put it back up. Also, I dig down a little in the soil before putting the pole up to give more support.

My wife uses the poles (for walking in a warm climate). She has had at least two different sets of poles. I think I actually bought both sets (at least one on Amazon), but she is the user. Anyway, I know she has successfully replaced the 'feet' on both sets of poles...using Amazon purchases. If yours are very HIGH END, you might need to do more research.

We did. My high performance gets about 30 channels in my area. My son's (in the same house) extreme antenna gets 2-3 more channels and is more solid on some of the channels that are a little shaky on mine. Although the extreme is an improvement, I personally wouldn't pay double for it (although I probably would have been willing to pay $10 more for it), but that's up to you.

I have been using mine for almost 8 months and am so pleased with it. It can go as high as you want. Mine is up quite a bit and I still have lots of lift left. Its sturdy and solid. I also have a cooler plate under it as there is plenty of room for it. Think you will be pleased with it as I am

We found that the 10 green poles were not enough...and flimsy... and had to have something to reinforce them to stay straight. We used rebar driven into the ground and slipped the pole over it (careful not to let the cotter pin holding wire touch the rebar...must be lower...to avoid grounding) as additional support and had to buy plastic conduit to make additional poles. Unit has a 27 inch cord...so you will need an appropriate extension cord if not located directly at a plug. A translation of their 1 page instructions/safety info for the power unit would help as well.....very poorly written, very hard to understand (I have a Master's degree in science and found it very confusing).

The pole doesn't really move and im doing mostly intermediate moves. I re-tighten the middle about once every two weeks but other than that very low maintenance and has been great!

I like the pole..... It did come off once, I don't know if it had settled cuz I hadn't been on it for awhile. I am a little overweight so it doesn't help. I say to myself that I would play on it more once I lose weight, but I haven't lost enough to be able to hold myself up. I do hurt myself a lot and get pretty sore afterwards. but with lots of practice you could definitely learn some cool tricks to impress your friends or significant other!

I (150 lbs.) used it for three weeks this autumn and was happy with it, but I think it was beginning to sag just a little the last few days. I'll be using it again for a while after Christmas, and will update if I develop any concerns. It is low to the ground, and a bit narrow, but one gets used to that.
