It is locked with a push button rather than a twist cam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the lock behaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe button lock is the mechanism painters have used for years. Press the button, slide the inner section, release it into the next hole. There is nothing to tighten, nothing to overtighten, and no friction joint that gradually stops holding as the pole ages. The length you set is the length you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe shape of the tube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnaplite poles are not round. The tube has a ten sided decagon profile, and the flat faces lock the sections against each other rotationally. That matters more than it sounds: a round pole lets the head twist away from you while you are brushing a wall, and a decagon one does not. The same matched profile keeps the sections sliding cleanly instead of jamming partway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it works with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes the standard pool tools you already own, brushes, leaf nets, vacuum heads and skimmers, so it slots into an existing kit as a replacement for a pole that has started slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skimlite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633764446420,"sku":"SKM-40-1002","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8f41555b-f6db-4f03-bbcc-ee4627c7a586.jpg?v=1788814720","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/skimlite-6000-snaplite-series-button-lock-pole-6ft-to-12ft-6012","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
