Can I remove the pole and use a push button instead? Makes it easier to hold the shoe and get to every surface.

Removing the pole does not look possible to me. The on/off switch is located on top of the pole and I don't see any other option for power.

If remember correctly it came as one piece and can not be used without the pole. I put my hand in the shoe with one hand and press the button with other for more detailed polishing .

you have to remove the piece that's screwed on the top of the pole before you can place the box piece on it. You can basically discard it... Then just open the screw as much as possible until the top piece clicks into place and then tighten the screw to secure.

No. The amount of force required to activate (to push down on the release pedal) is quite substantial, which precludes this being used on a table.

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

Little brass spike underneath - just push it down and the hot shoe should come off!

Yes, you can. The cleaning on the unit unscrews and it looks like a universal extension pole thread would work fine. I've noticed that mine will extend pretty far, but if you needed to reach pretty high, you could use a longer pole like you have.

Cut it off from the bottom and replace the rubber tip. Easy to do with a saw that will cut through lucite. I've had three of the lucite canes and each is adjusted for the height of the shoes I am wearing when I use it!

You can use it on a soft surface - but to click you have to reach under the front corner and pinch the foot - or for right click do the same on the right side (unless you have it set up for two finger click). The "click" is built into the nub that also acts as a foot. On a hard surface you press down on the top squeezes the foot between the surface and your press from above. on a soft surface you can replicate this by sliding your thumb or finger tip under the foot-nub and squeezing - perhaps not elegant but may be easier than balancing book on your knee or needing to use some other surface to get the job done.

You can just use the switch. I never use the foot petal... I think the switch is easier.

I suppose you could however I did not keep mine because it was poor quality and there was not enough tension in the pole to keep it upright. I wouldn't buy this product.

Yes, I struggled with this too. Put your thumb under the white tab, and pull it to your right for the right shoe, to your left for the left shoe, in a smooth, continuous, firm motion. Practice in the house first - when your out in the snow/cold/or needing to get that shoe off quickly, you want to feel confident/comfortable you can do it. Good luck!

You can grip it with your fingers without a pole and twist if the socket is close enough to you. Although it's designed to be threaded to a pole, I couldn't find a mop or broom pole with threads that accepted it. I therefore taped it to a pole with packaging tape in order to use it on a light socket approximately 3 feet above my outstretched hands.

I already have it installed so I can't check the underside of the pole. The pole does not look welded on the top side where it joins to the mounting bracket, but may be welded or simply screwed on from the bottom side of the bracket. Either way, it cannot be "easily' removed for a "quick change" scenario. Perhaps others kept the installation manual and it may have a view of the underside of the bracket/pole assembly.

There is a plastic part that has to be removed. It was on the tip of one of the poles. I didn't realize it at first and it interfered with the functioning.

Yes. You will need to use a screwdriver to remove the attachment to clip on the feet and screw on the felling foot. This is common for many specialty feet.

Good question, it's a bit deceiving. But it turns out those big buttons are the footswitch. They can be operated by your foot. If you can get a closer look at it, you can even see that they are made that way. It's an ok item. Has some fun effects on it, some useful. If I were to criticize it I would say that because I don't use it often, I sort of have to relearn how. It has two dials that to some degree have to work together and I just have a hard time remembering how to use them or what they are for. But that could be my brain, not the device. Good Luck!

Yes, you can push with just one hand. This was the best buy. I plan on buying another one as a gift.
