If anyone is hunting for a new pool pole I found this one at Lowe's and it seems pretty decent. It does not have the twist lock to extend but rather works more like a paint / utility pole to extend and locks in place. It is very sturdy and time will tell how well it holds up. I think it was $25 - $30 and it was back in the corner where they have their pool stuff in the outside garden area (at least here at our Lowe's).
