Extension Poles for Painting & Cleaning

Paint roller poles screw into threaded sockets embedded in the tips of the handles of roller frames, which hold paint rollers for covering ceilings, walls, and other broad surfaces with primer or finishing coats. The poles extend the painting reach so that users can apply ceiling or high-wall finishes while standing on the ground or much more safely and efficiently while standing on a ladder. Staples offers different telescoping lengths, including a range of extension poles from Wooster, one of the leading manufacturers of paintbrushes, rollers, and accessories for professional painting crews.

The poles extend reach in different telescoping ranges
Whether needing a few feet to reach the top edges of a wall or several feet to reach the middle of a foyer ceiling from an extension ladder, paint telescopic poles come in the exact adjustable lengths for all painting applications and tasks. They’re available in short 2- to 4-foot poles, medium 4- to 8-foot extensions, and lengthy 6- to 12-foot expanses. The range provides the versatility you need from ground height, ladders, or scaffolds to paint standard home, office, or building heights, widths, and breadths efficiently.

The paint roller poles are adjustable easily in increments
Each of the foot-telescoping ranges of the poles offer 6-inch incremental adjustments, adding to the versatility of their reach. Users can make the adjustments easily using a quick-release, thumb-press locking mechanism that inserts a brass pin in the incremental slot to keep the telescoping shaft securely in place. The thumb-lock consists of fiberglass-reinforced nylon, so it’s durable and rugged. The brass pin resists corrosion against any solvents and water that may be part of different paint and finish formulas.

How secure is the telescoping inner shaft when it’s locked in place?
Not only does the brass locking pin set the 6-inch slot increments securely in place, but the shaft is also hexagonal, so it has no leeway to twist or warp. In addition, anodized aluminum makes up the inner telescoping shaft, which is resistant to corrosion but also provides uncompromising rigidity, similar to the structural elements of skyscrapers and space satellites.

Are the paint roller poles easy to handle?
Anodized aluminum is a lightweight material in itself. However, the aluminum shaft also telescopes within an outer pole shell of fiberglass, offering a composite structure that is one of the lightest-weight extension tools available. In addition, the poles have textured, rubberized end handles, not only providing a comfortable grip for long workdays but a secure one for each painting stroke.

Are the threaded tips only for specially fitted poles?
The tips have universal threads, so they’ll fit all popular roller tools, plus many other implements that may need extensions, including sweeping, cleaning, and maintenance tools. The poles also have screw-set zinc tips, providing a durable and sturdy attachment point that accepts various roller frame and tool sockets consistently as needed on the job site. The zinc tips also provide a corrosion-resistant, nonreactive thread point for roller frames and accessories that often come with different threaded socket material.
