One of the first pieces of equipment I bought was the extension pole. It was also the first piece I sold. I use it some until I found the x-jet and m-5. The pole will tire you out fast and is unsafe.

Have 3 of the yellow ones I bought over 10 years ago and since then are holding up a wall in the shop. Converted to x-jets and never looked back.

I use long aluminum wands. 10 footer is the longest I have all I ever needed.

I made my own for under 100 bucks, but havn't used it. I'm sure they have a use for some jobs

Have them away. Let some other person knock them self out or get a good upper body workout with it. We use 8, 12 &14 ft aluminum wands where necessary and if course an mjet

That is a nice one, I like the pin locks, always wanted to get one with the pin locks so you don't have to worry about the collars getting stuck.
I have a few of the yellow kind, 18', 24' and then an aluminum 36' pole. I use them once or twice a year on the jobs where it is not cost effective to bring out a lift for a few small areas or where you cannot get a lift into due to non-level ground, landscaping, shape of building, etc....
I am glad that I have them, glad I don't use them more often but I have them for when I need them.

Brand new, I bought my 24' yellow fiberglass poles for $99 through the distributors.
That is a lot of money for the fiberglass or an aluminum wand to connect to the gun, either way I would pass on that deal.

I have the exact same one. I think I paid about $175 for it. Used it for 1 job and it's sat in the garage ever since.
The hydrotek the best, us guys who have actual dirty not mold use them on occasions.
I also like the flex ends you can point at things with the right spray pattern

That's what I use. Doug advised me to get the right tips and use the aluminum wand instead. Worked like a charm! Doug, I am so glad I took (and take) your advice!
