HYDE 28690 QuickReach Telescoping Pole, Extends from 7-1/2 to 12 Feet, Multi Colored

Take some getting used to but better then climbing ladder

Horrible product. It didn’t come with the coil thing to hold the hose. The knob to tighten the gun holder will not hold the gun up so it can spray. It doesn’t have the coil to hold the cord so it won’t stay in place. When I extend the pole to full extension it will not spray. Total waste of $180. So frustrated. Useless piece of garbage. Feel totally ripped off. Could not even use it for 10 minute. Only works if the pole is short and only halftime the time. Worst purchase of my life. I’m sure I got a faulty product that someone returned because it wasn’t all there. You don’t know that until you try to use it. I wish I could return it. Pure garbage.

I picked this up because I needed to do a high ceiling in the garage with multiple obstacles. Now I'm impressed with the stability of it and lightweight. It's much better than using an extension wand because you don't have the spatter after you release your trigger. The only two things I'll say negatively about the product is 1 it's very expensive especially with a lot of plastic parts. 2 it's not very accommodating for my particular regular size Greco spray gun and the retainer screw to hold the gun in place is a bit flimsy.

This great spray painting tool save hours in spray painting by allowing my painters to reach high without the use of ladders or staging. This is a fabulous professional painting tool!

It looks very nice when you take it out of the package, unfortunately it is made with the quality of a McDonalds toy. The mechanism is finicky and frustrating. Sometimes it works. Sometimes when I pull the trigger nothing happens, and other times it doesn’t let go; leaving the gun to spray continually. I adjusted everything, but just could not get any consistency out of the thing. I suspect most of the issues stem from the cable connection between the two pieces, which you have no control over. When extended to the full 12ft it is too flexible. Recoil from the gun pushes it away from the wall so you apply pressure to compensate. What ends up happening, because of the flexibility of the pole itself, is it bounces in and out causing a wavy spray pattern. With enough practice, someone could master this, but you are still compensating for the poor quality of the product. If you could get the trigger to work consistently, and don’t fully extend it, or if you are painting a ceiling, this may work OK, but it’s not worth the price. A stout pole, some duct tape, and a piece of string would be superior in every way to this product. I still have half my project to go, but I can’t return this thing fast enough.

Hyde your love away

I am very satisfied with my Hyde telescopic extension pole. If I could improve anything it would have to do with the way the set screw seats the gun into position. It's difficult to securely position the spray gun without it twisting left or right.. Also the set screw is difficult to tighten to a point that it actually secures the gun during operation by hand. ALTHOUGH, I would still HIGHLY recommend this tool to any painter. I also have the HYDE 7 1/2'-12' POLE. Using these poles is indeed a work out, but allow me to spray much broader areas in a uniform manner faster, and most of the time with no ladder. It's obvious that these poles are rarely used by professional painters because there are no videos on YouTube haha.. So I plan to add some videos of me using my pole in the near future. With my review is a picture of the first project I used my Hyde spray pole on, and I must say.. with my ordinary 4' aluminum standard spray pole, it would've probably taken me at least one.. Maybe two days longer to finish this house. Thanks HYDE!

The idea of attaching the spray gun to an extension and not using a ladders is great. Unfortunately, this product is not it. The extension pole is build very well, but the gun mount is mostly plastic and very flimsy. For this price, I would expect a better quality components.
