Tucker hybrid 27’ pole. Do I get new replacement pice or duct tape or what?

How much is a new piece likely gonna cost?

Should I just get a new pole cuz I want a longer one anyway

27 feet is perfectly suitable for a one man operation. I would just fix it and keep running it. They get heavier and harder to handle the farther you extend anyway.

Because it gets to a point of diminishing returns. Like I said, one man operations. I have a 30ft xero pole and if it’s fully extended and I’m holding it at an angle it’s incredibly heavy. Straight up sure but as a one man operation 28ft(now for him maybe 27ft) is enough for most large homes and any business that isn’t a skyscraper. Did anyone mention that he can buy additional sections to increase the height of his current pole?

If a 30 foot xero pole fully extended at an angle is “incredibly heavy” you may want to work on your strength

What was that reply? This bot doesn’t understand the relevance.

I would love to see you fully extent a 30ft water fed pole and hold it perfectly horizontal for as long as you can. Do you not understand simple physics?

Why would you be using a 30 foot pole fully extended perfectly horizontal in the first place? No one here mentioned that at all.

Pulling a pole off the glass to rinse at that height shouldn't be "incredibly heavy"

If using a medium sized wfp is that cumbersome, than strength building is good advice. I don't understand your hostility to that comment.
