WinHux Telescopic Window Pole Opener 1.2-3.0m Long-Reach Aluminium Twist-Lock Skylight Pole, Opener Rod with Non-Slip Hook, Compatible with Velux Keylite Fakro Rooflite Roof Windows

With the Velux-branded poles so very expensive, this WinHux pole was exactly what I needed, at a fair price. There are 3 extendable sections, and you turn the pole to tighten when extending. It opens and closes my Velux windows with ease. One of them is 4.5 metres off the ground, through a window tunnel. So this is the perfect pole to open that when I don't want to use the remote control. It is also very handy for bypassing the auto-close rain sensor.

I bought this to replace a Velux window pole, mainly on the strength of the reviews on Amazon. the pole arrived very quickly which was great - full marks to the manufacturer. the pole is extendable with a screw mechanism similar to that used with extendable mop/brush handles. the pole is for use in a physiotherapy clinic where we have high ceilings and velux windows. On the first day of use one of my team managed to jam one section of the pole such that my husband had to use strong equipment from his workshop to unjam this. it was impossible to unlock by hand - I have strong hands! the pole length is good and easily reaches the high windows but is flimsy compared to the velux window pole and bends with any effort on opening or closing the windows. I'm not sure how long this will last, time will tell. The pole is lightweight and easy to manoevre. the hook on the end of the pole is good strong plastic and screws into the pole. I hope this means that a replacement of the hook alone can be bought if this fails. my ideal combination would be for the hook from this pole onto the velux pole. I also bought the smaller length pole for another set of windows at a different location. The pole was much better and the height was adjusted with a latch and holes, a similar mechanism to that used with adjustable sticks or crutches. If this mechanism was used for the longer length that would feel more secure. UPDATE AUGUST 2019 The pole was working well untill recently when the extending and twisting mechanism is now failing to hold. This is crucial to us as the windows are high. I will contact the seller direct and see what they suggest.

This supplier is the best I've ever dealt with. I had a query when the pole arrived. My message was responded to within a couple of hours and the issue very quickly resolved by Damian who couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. The pole works very well on my high solar panel Velux window which stopped working. It has also proved really useful in bending down hard to reach rose branches! Extremely happy.

Great long pole. Just what was needed to reach high velux windows

Returned as could not cope with pressure on joints with a stiff window. Should be good for easy opening Velux

Good product, well built, worth buying.

This pole is extremely strong - much better that our previous pole!

I bought this item in March 2022. It is excellent for it's job. Today, the telescopic locking mechanism failed on one of the extensions. I contacted Damien, and within 5 minutes we were e-mailing each other. He is sending a replacement pole on to which I will attach the hook. Now that is not only very kind, but very efficient and very generous. Some people really do deserve success! Many thanks.

aunque no pesa, se siente robusto, cumple perfectamente con el objetivo y para guardarlo, cabe perfectamente en un escobero o detrás de la puerta. Muy contenta

Stabile Stange mit gummierten rutschfesten Haken

Sono passati 27 mesi dall'acquisto/utilizzo. Utilizzato per aprire e chiudere un lucernario a 3,8 m di altezza (inclinazione tetto / lucernario circa 30 gradi) e uno a 4,0 m. Usato nel modo corretto il prodotto è stato ed è robusto ed efficace. Ottimo prodotto!

everything I expected and the quick twist lock is very satisfactory

Acheté pour ouvrir ou fermer un Velux à 4m50 de haut. Cette perche est légère donc facile à manipuler, et assez longue et rigide pour atteindre le Velux. Rempli parfaitement son rôle. mise à jour : le crochet a cassé net en ouvrant le velux. donc je modifie la note a 3 etoiles et le titre : Léger et facile à utiliser mais FRAGILE !
