ABSTRACT:
An extension pole is provided for use in handling and manipulating a tool head, such as a tree pruner or other selected implement. The pole comprises a base section and an extension section defining a mated pair of generally planar side faces retained in face-to-face relation by a first slide cuff secured to a distal end of the base section for slide-fit reception of the extension section, and a second slide cuff secured to a proximal end of the extension section for slide-fit reception of the base section. One or more lock keys are carried by one of the pole sections for key-lock engagement with a longitudinally extending pattern of detents formed in the side face of the other pole section. At least one band clamp is releasibly secured about the pole sections to retain the lock keys in engagement with the detent pattern, thereby releasibly locking the two pole sections in a selected position of longitudinal adjustment. Release or loosening of the band clamp permits sufficient movement between the pole sections, within the slide cuffs, to accommodate retraction of the lock keys from the detent pattern and longitudinal adjustment of the extension section relative to the base section.
