In 1997 Scott MacDonald showed me this tool and how much easier it is to run a line by yourself with it. Mine was taken and was still perfect after all these years so I bought another. Everyone I have told about these poles has bought one and swears by them.. Very strong well built poles that get you over and around most obstacles. I wouldn't do a wiring job without it... SMJ 22Perfecta duradera fuerteIf you are a cable installer. This is one tool you better have! No more crawling under trailer houses and attics are easier.Just Bought this one. I have used these poles for over 35 years simply wore the last two out. I recommend this highly , especially for durability and professional use .Real SECO pole an absolute must in any cable techs kit.
