This is a life saver. I have been using a 10 ft piece of conduit w/ a wire running through a hole I drilled at the end. OK, but this thing works great. I really like the fact that it telescopes down to 6 ft or so. This way if you need to turn the pole while in the space your fishing something and need to turn around obstructions, you just telescope the pole down to make the turn and then re-deploy it's full length or any length you need to get where you're going. Really great product. Worth every penny!I haven't had the need to use this particular tool YET! I bought this one to replace one I had that I accidently left behind at a job site and someone decided to help themselves to it. But because the other one that got "taken" is just like this one, I'm sure it will do exactly what I need it to do.Great price and qualityI ordered it to replace one which finally wore out. It works just great. Mostly I use it to put Christmas Lights up on several evergreen trees.Very useful for workHusband uses daily for job, he loves it.the pole arrived quickley and worked as advertised. It is a very usefull tool for cable installation. I had one before but accidently left it on a job site and lost it, nice to have one againGreat cabling tool a must have
