When pools get deeper and tools get heavier, a standard pole isn’t enough. The Stinger 8'–16' Telescopic Pool Pole with Dual In/Out Cam Lock (PL40816) is built for extended reach, improved rigidity, and secure locking, making it a dependable choice for brushing, skimming, vacuuming, and debris removal in medium to large pools.

Designed for daily use, this pole offers smooth extension with a locking system that holds firm under pressure—reducing flex, slippage, and the need for constant readjustment during demanding cleaning tasks.

Why an 8'–16' Dual-Lock Pool Pole Matters

Longer poles experience more torque and stress, especially when used with heavy brushes, vacuum heads, or leaf rakes. A weak locking system quickly becomes a liability.

Using an extended dual-lock telescopic pool pole matters because it helps:

• Reach deep ends and wide pool spans with fewer adjustments

• Maintain rigidity at longer extensions

• Prevent twisting or collapsing under load

• Improve control and efficiency during brushing and vacuuming

The PL40816 is engineered to stay locked and stable throughout the full length range.

How the Dual In/Out Cam Lock System Works

The dual in/out cam lock mechanism secures the telescoping sections from both directions, distributing pressure evenly to resist rotation and slippage. Once engaged, the pole maintains its set length even during aggressive brushing or vacuuming.

This design allows for quick length adjustments while providing confidence that the pole will stay locked during use.

When to Use the Stinger 8'–16' Telescopic Pool Pole

This pole is ideal for:

• Medium to large residential pools

• Brushing tall walls and deep ends

• Manual vacuuming with standard heads

• Skimming and leaf rake use

• Service routes requiring extended reach

Its wide adjustment range reduces the need to switch poles between pools of different sizes.

Compatible with Standard Pool Tools

The Stinger PL40816 is compatible with standard pool attachments, including:

• Pool brushes and brooms

• Leaf skimmers and rakes

• Manual vacuum heads

• Safety hooks and accessories

The universal connection keeps tools secure during normal maintenance tasks.

Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum

Constructed from durable aluminum, this pole resists rust and chemical exposure while remaining manageable at full extension. It provides a balance of strength and weight that supports professional use without unnecessary fatigue.

The smooth telescoping action makes setup and breakdown quick and consistent.

Use & Care Best Practices

Always confirm both cam locks are fully engaged before applying pressure. Rinse the pole after use to remove chemical residue and store it collapsed in a shaded area to reduce UV exposure.

Avoid overtightening the locks to preserve smooth operation over time.
