How many here use an extension pole for power washing?

["Red"]

Is it a good investment to have one... oh say a 14' for $65?

 

[Lenny Schrecengost]

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.

I use this. HydroTek. Very light and easy to use. Forget what I paid for it......

 

[Mark 8262]

We have all bought them......didn't think anyone actually used them

 

[Everett Abrams]

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.

Id say 20 bucks tops for a piece of wall art, plus..you could be in the club. Lol

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

 

[Art Oliveri]

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

I have 3, 4, 6 and 8 foot extension lances. Sometimes, one needs a little help getting soap to a high spot (might be a little breezy out) or cleaning the top of pool screens.

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

A guy tried to sell me one, said I needed it and it would be my go to tool. I bought a ds nozzle kit from Bob instead.

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.

I have a hydro tek normal extension and one with a roller on the end. Don't use them much, but when I need it I have it.

 

[Ron Musgraves]

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

I use an ungar nlite pole for softwashing and window washing very very lite and won't tire you out as much!

Red, take your pick. Blue or yellow. They both been there about 8 years. I'll box one up and ship it to ya.

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!
