I sometimes find it difficult to depress the two spring-loaded buttons to get tools on and off the ends of pool poles. I wonder whether anyone knows of a tool to make this easier.

Really dumb question about pool poles

Just tested an Irwin clamp and it worked great. Snug it up and the head pops out with a light twist. Clamp on the tool with a little wiggle room and it'll slide right into the pole.

I used gorilla tape on the jaws to protect the pole finish but channel locks worked too, both ways. Coming apart it needs a twist and going on it needs just enough wiggle room to be able to slide into the pole.

I will press the buttons in with my fingers and then give the pole a quick twist. It causes the pins to slide under the metal shaft and then the net or brush just pulls right out.
It’s not hard to do, you just need to give the pole a quick, flick of the wrist.

This is my usual technique also. It just didn't work for me this morning. After 10 minutes of trying, I left the (old) Pool Blaster on the (brand new) pole. Maybe this new pole is thicker or something. I just went out, hours later, and it came right off. Go figure.
