It's a cheapened version of the original prototype streampole which never got to production as far as I'm aware & they have been selling it as the "economy pole" on their website. Apparently, the clamps are awfull!

They are modified jubilee hose clips. Absolute junk.

I heard they were offered to some window cleaning suppliers,.. and the suppliers refused to stock them as they were "dangerous",.....

 i regularly use one and and there is noting wrong with it it is not best but youcant complain with that price if only the brush was bit better quality and when you go that high every pole wobbles final verdict good pole for the price

Think id rather save a little longer and get a proper pole if I was you, saw one of these being used and the flex was absolutly unreal.
