does this pole have anti shock feature? what is the difference between your 29.99 dollar pole?

The quick lock does not have an anti shock system. Only the twist lock has this feature. The difference between the quick lock & twist lock is the locking mechanism. Quick lock can be easier to adjust. Thank you for your question!

I think it is a personal decision based on whether you need to adjust them often. Since I always leave my three (one for each car and home) at the same length, I prefer the $29.00 poles rather than the quick lock.

These poles do not have the anti-shock feature. I've only seen twist-tightening poles that have the anti-shock feature and half the time I couldn't get it to work properly. I like anti-shock, but the twist-tighten poles tend to become loose under use. I've not had that problem with these poles.

No anti-shock feature, but I didn't want one. These poles have same overall weight as a set that costs $189. The $39 set has quick lock system that I prefer instead of the twist lock system on $29.99 set. These are cheap enough that I don't worry about babying or breaking them.

You do not want anti-shock. Uphill it takes energy just when you need it the most, wastes it on the release. Level you don't need it. Downhill it does absorb energy at the cost of leaving you not sure of the poles status. Your arms and elbows do it better while providing accurate feedback as to your stability. Anti-shock is glitz for the newbies, I'm afraid.

No antishock, carbon fiber doesn't need it. Has the much better external flip locks that don't jam and are adjustable, rather than internal twist locks that often jam or slip. Grips extend down the pole for instant height adjusting for hills.

The poles you see crisscross inh in the picture are the supports. It really does go up in about a minute. I love mine!

No. Don't buy from seller. The umbrella pole came dented in shipping. Seller did not respond to my request for a new pole. Eventually Amazon refunded my money.

"Anti-shock" sounds good at first, is a very bad idea. Going uphill it takes energy to compress them, which is returned when you don't need it. Total loss. Going downhill they only do what your elbow does, with less energy, and the compression takes away from control over the pole. One is not sure when it will bottom out, and that's an insecure feeling. They bring nothing to the party except added weight.

It's only the tip that shocks. There is another version of this baton that shocks on the sides of the baton. Look for it on Amazon.

Sorry I don't know. We never checked that out. It is a nice goal as long as you install properly as directed. My husband admitted that he was in hurry and did a messy installation job, it became loose, so he replaced the pole for wood post. It still looks really nice.

It adverts at 3", but it seems a bit thinner. Its telescopes outward also. BY THE WAY: This pole is good for hanging things, but if you need something for more support (like someone walking around with it) I'd say look at a better stability one. I used this for a decoration and now for hanging things, so it worked for me. Its base is solid, but oddly designed. I can see it good for if it's by a bed (for it's intended use) or just stationary. Hope that helps!

Nope, not anti shock. But, unless that's a perquisite, for the money these are very good poles. Hope this helps.

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I ordered a new pole with string and.. I guess the problem is the string. I've been using the same one now for a month. I guess I just didn't expect the string to wear down that quickly and still kind of don't understand what causes it to bunch up once it gets worn down. Little bit of a mystery to this mind. Thanks for responding.

Are you using a grounding rod? The negative post should be wired to a grounding rod that you drive into the ground a few feet. The positive is hooked up to your wire and doesn't need to come back to the negative post. This is designed to have the wire charged and when something comes in contact with it it and the ground (dog,cow, horse) then it gives the shock. I'm not sure what your question is or how you have it set up. Mine works great.

Yes Karina it does both. I have no regrets. It's and excellent choice especially for the money spent in comparison to the more expensive poles. Have fun with it!

It's a one-piece pole. It does adjust to various lengths, but only one piece.

It has 2 prongs made of the same metal as the rest of the pole. It's pretty sturdy. I hang a bug zapper on it and it stays in place.

No pole. I found the same item at a local janitorial supply for less than half the price.

I have this pole, a 12" Pro and the BackFlip set up. The pole does have a tapering threaded end and a spring locking pin. The back flip slip is not threaded and neither is the pro. They both slip on and can be pushed down for the spring lock to latch on. Quite honestly, there is enough pressure on the end with the taper that neither the 12" pro nor the backflip really requires the thread or the pin. It sticks on pretty hard just slipping it on the end.

I don't know if it's exactly for it, the threading is kind off on mine. It does however work with the mega brand pole that you can convert into static or stationary. I have ordered three of theservice extensions, thanks to the 10ft always being out of stock! Out of all three, because one of the ones has threading that is poorly done, it is janky if I'm just walk around it and it's in stationary mode, if I'm doing pole work thought, it spins smoothly. The way I look at it from my experience... there's a 3/1 chance they have smooth attachments and if not the pole still is fully functional either way.

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.
