24' DocaPole Extension Pole

I wanted to paint my house without the enormous expense of scaffolding. Falling off a ladder did not hold much appeal (how surprising! LOL) and without someone to foot one while I worked I thought I was stumped BUT THEN I found this Docapole. It is a quality piece of kit. Built to last and useful for oodles of other high up tasks not just as a painting tool. Docazoo sell separate accessories that can help you to carry out dusting and changing light fittings and they also sell replacement combo tips too which they supply from their home country if you ever need another. Dont be an ass like me...the strongly made plastic combo tip is within the shipping box but in separate packaging. Mine fell out as I opened the box and got hidden by a pile of papers. I thought it had been shipped with just the screw tip, which is permanently attached to the pole, so I got in touch with Docazoo and found out how well they handle their customers. Brilliantly, I must say. After emailing them THEN I found my combo tip where it had hidden itself from me and had to write to say a big sorry for wasting their time. So, unpack more carefully than I obviously did. Okay? LOL. It features good stiff clasps at each section to stop each extendible part from slipping down and since it is only a couple of metres when not opened up it can fit into cars and be stored easily. Honestly, it is nowhere near as wobbly as you might imagine it would be even when it is fully extended. It wobbles some when I use it but I am a woman who is only 5ft 4 ins tall with weedy little arms :) Put it into the hands of a strapping fella (sorry girls but on the whole we ARE shorter and weaker) it will be a doddle to hold steady. It is actually pretty light in weight too but not flimsy in any way. I was delighted to find a credible alternative to scaffs and ladders and am very pleased and proud of my purchase :) I want to say a big thank you to Donald from Docazoo. You are not only the world's most patient man (cos I am a right idiot) but your product is ABSOLUTELY THE MOST USEFUL extension pole that I have ever found. It extends to a massive height! Please pin a star on your chest, DONALD. Thank you :) I was thrilled to find my adjustable plastic tip but didnt half feel dumb! I have no hesitation in recommending this product. Now please buy one folks! You will be as happy as I am and your high up tasks will not go undone for lack of the right tool. The best tool!

Make sure you get the right length tool for the job, a 3 metre pole won’t reach up to clear gutters on the top of a 2 floor house. You’ll need the 7 metre version. PROS - It’s quite light and ok for a healthy adult to wield for cleaning gutters, you’ll have to find and use an attachment for gutter clearing - they aren’t supplied with this of course. You can find them on Amazon. It does have weight to it especially when extended - so will be a struggle for people who aren’t very physical. The pole sections are nice and stiff and easy to extend and retract and very smooth. The locking mechanism with the levers feels smooth and progressive - with a positive lock that never came undone. It is very well made. The pole grip area is very good too but I wish it was a little bit longer - higher up the lower pole. It’s worth the money and the best one I’ve used. CONS - When fully extended it flexes a bit - a good 150 to 200mm side to side but only when meeting a stubborn obstacle in a gutter. So acceptable and it didn’t break. I got a free cleaning brush attachment that was unfortunately smashed on delivery but that is not a reflection on the equipment. It was also half out of the packaging. Overall a great piece of kit happy with my purchase. Pity about the delivery - which was also late.

24ft pole purchased, easy to use,does flex a bit when fully extended because of length but still does the job of cleaning the windows so l am happy with my purchase easy to extend and retract used it a couple of times now would say it is of Good Quality,shame you don't get the window cleaning tool with it you have to buy separately,but curiously you get a dusting tool with it handy I guess if you have exceptionally high ceilings.

This thing is fantastic. No hassle, ready straight out of the box.very light but feels surprisingly strong. I used it with the gutter scoop and had my gutters empty, from the ground, in the time it would have previously taken to set my ladders up. I then decided to wash my windows. Again, within the space of 10 minutes, 6 windows cleaned from the ground. no climbing up and down, moving heavy ladders and more importantly, no risking my safety carrying tools up and down. off the top of my head I have half a dozen other jobs I know this will be brilliant for. its going to save me a lot of time and effort.

Very good to reach the roof. Is easy to use, and you can do the job without a ladder so less risk to fell. Seems to be durable and well made, so is good vale for money

Summer 2022 Photos show the DocaPole 7m version. It was the only one long enough and stiff enough for the job of removing moss off a cedar shingle roof, if and only IF it was not fully extended. As rain gutter to apex was around five and half m, reckoned on x0.8 of each telescopic section thus needed the 7 m pole. But such long pole is heavy and cumbersome. Thus for the middle distance bought the 3.5m version of the pole. But it arrived deeply dented on the outer section thus could not extend. Among the various poles used, (bought another 6m in 3 sections subsequent to the photos attached) I like the DocaPole only when one is needed for very long distance, i.e. working towarks apex of the roof. Part of the cumbersome was due to the section locks. These are of a lever type and as you can see, the levers are the length of a scrapper head and the levers couldn't be pushed closer to the pole than about 45 degrees to lock each section. Even when fully relaxed, the locks were so tight that it required much muscle effort to pull out the sections. Anyway for working at the middle distance, found the Harris 3m pole to be a good alternative. This Harris one also didn't have the lever locks to get in the way although the pole prooved to flex more owing to lak of longitudinal ridges to stiffen it. The old adage - use the right tool for the job. Telescopic Poles 2025 Update Must have used 15 different branded telescopic poles to scratch (gaps between the cedar shingles on the roof) scrape, brush and finally spray with moss killer onto the shingles in the last dozen years. At the further extension (the apex of the roof) it was the DocaPole 7m (2022 model) which performed the best because it was the stiffest. That’s because each section of the pole had longitudinal ridges to make it stiffer than just plain cylindrical aluminium. That was the reason to buy some more – to replace the Bayersan 3 section 6m model for example. However DocaPole short changed me. Sections 2 to 5 of the 7m model for 2025 no longer have the longitudinal ridges (the reason for buying it again as well as 3.5m pole again); they now only have an indent channel to stop the sections twisting. The twisting was never a bother as once locked, the sections no longer twisted while in use. Had DocaPole updated their photos on the Amazon web page I wouldn’t have bother buying it again. As it is, (1) it arrived dented and (2) the “New Dual-Tip Equipment: Straight metal tip will stand up to any task, while attachable multi-angle tip” was lost before it arrived. So much for the policy of not using boxes to send products to customers; it only had the thin transparent plastic bag upon arrival, not even bubble wrap to protect it. The multi-angle tip must have escaped through the hole in the thin transparent bag. Now have to send it back causing more environmental impact than a box would have. As for the 3.5m 2025 model, this still had longitudinal ridges along all 3 sections of this pole but it arrived with fault on the brush head. Yes I would recommend the 3.5m pole but only if new model still have the ridges. Incidentally this 3.5m was bought in a kit with the brush which came inside a cardboard box although no bubble wrap was used to protect the pole. This was worth getting because at the middle distance it’s much easier to use due to its much lighter weight compared to the 7m.

Seems to easily reach the gutter level on my 2 story house and has extra to go! Very light considering it extends so far. Nice that it comes with extra pieces I didn't expect! Seems OK. Delivery seemed to keep getting pushed back so contacted amazon who sorted it. Used it today, it flexes quite a bit but managed to clean out my gutters. As other reviews said the attachment spins to easily so I used gorilla tape to secure it which worked well. Getting out growing plants was quite fiddy, you have to swivel the pole a little to agitate the area. Quite a shoulder workout but gets the job done with patience.

This is really handy and great quality. It didn’t seem particularly cheap at the time, although I went for the longer version, and it seems a lot at a time for an extending pool, although it’s not a cheap 6 foot extending pole from the corner shop. I used it with a roller fitted to the end and treated the whole side of a house with water repellent… as an old house, it worked really well even at the high point which was over 35+ feet.. it’s of course a little Bendy at full length or nearly full length, although still more than adequate to do the job.. I saved having to use long ladders and move them 50 times which would take hours of work, or saved £300/£400 for somebody else to do it.. so the product saved me a lot of money, and I still have it!! Took me less than an hour to do the whole side of a house ..
