I've been using the Purdy with quick lock. I use my 2-4 footer most of the time. I also have a 1-2 footer for rolling out tight closets or stairwells and a 8-16 footer for high work

I like the Purdy's but I keep a few wooden poles in my truck. Easily cut to length for hallways and closets.

Wooster for me . Wouldn't touch a Purdy with a 10' pole!:no:

I love the Sherlock. In twisting a roller frame sets my anxiety off. Ain't nobody got time for that. I do like a 5' wooden pole for rolling ceilings, really light and great reach.

I'd kill a small family for a couple more of these poles.
Haven't seen them in years.

still have one, probably 20 maybe 25 years old

I'll check in the big truck, I know we still have a couple of the closet poles, there may be some of the longer ones as well. The cams eventually wore out on most of them.

I like the Wooster GTs. I've bent the aluminum ones, and broken plenty of wooden ones.

Best 2-4 ever.

Vermont Painter,

If you don't mind, what makes that particular pole the best ever? How's the durability? What about it's weight and balance when used with a frame and loaded cover?

Would appreciate your (and others) input as to what makes this and other extension poles their favorites.

Thanks!

Sherlock for me

 

[driftweed]

I like sherlocks because they weigh less than the GT's. I like the GT's because of the quicklock for changing out frames. Make no doubt though, they are heavier. Lighten up the GT pole and you have a winner.

The snap lock also prevents the roller frame from spinning off the threads. Major bonus.

Wooster GT's for me. Before using the Wooster cages, give the bearings a healthy shot of lube and they'll do you good for months without their usual horrific screatch.

We use these.
Strong points are the very light weight and the clamp system.
The 1-2 is so extra light, it goes anywhere.
Unfortunately we broke couple but they are less expensive to replace.

George Z -

Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to pass your comments onto our engineering staff.

As an FYI .... the next generation of Sherlock / Sherlock GT poles from Wooster will be available in the coming weeks. Be sure to ask your favorite paint store to stock them.

Purdy poles is what we have except our 25' Wooster pole (only used once). We did buy a cheap wooden pole last week, to far from home to run and grab one.

 

[TJ Paint]

You guys sure like talking about your.poles...

Me too.
I like my wooster, still works 15 years later.
