förlängningsstång

A förlängningsstång, often translated as extension pole or telescopic pole, is a tool designed to increase the reach of another tool. It typically consists of one or more cylindrical sections that can be extended or retracted. This allows the user to adjust the length of the pole to suit the specific task at hand, providing greater versatility than a fixed-length pole.

Förlängningsstänger are commonly used in a wide variety of applications. In household tasks, they are frequently attached to cleaning implements such as window squeegees, paint rollers, or dusters, enabling access to high ceilings or large surfaces without the need for a ladder. In gardening, they can be fitted with pruners, saws, or cultivators for trimming branches or weeding in difficult-to-reach areas.

The mechanism for extending and retracting the sections varies. Some poles use a twist-lock system, where rotating the sections engages or disengages them. Others employ clamp levers or push-button locks for securing the desired length. Materials used in their construction range from lightweight aluminum to durable fiberglass, depending on the intended use and required strength. The end of the pole usually features a standard thread or connector to securely attach the working tool.
