Reviewers of Ettore squeegees say they don't work with threaded poles, and instead clip on. But this photo clearly shows threads. What's the deal?

The pole does have threads and should work with a threaded squeegee along with the snapnon squeegee but not all of the Ettore squeegees have threads - some are snap on only. The squeegee I have is the Ettore snap on type and it works perfectly with this particular pole. My squeegee would not work with a pole that was threaded only.

I have this pole, a 12" Pro and the BackFlip set up. The pole does have a tapering threaded end and a spring locking pin. The back flip slip is not threaded and neither is the pro. They both slip on and can be pushed down for the spring lock to latch on. Quite honestly, there is enough pressure on the end with the taper that neither the 12" pro nor the backflip really requires the thread or the pin. It sticks on pretty hard just slipping it on the end.

They don't work with certain "other" poles, but this one works with their squeegees.

Th short answer is "no" as the handle is made of plastic and is not threaded. However, I use a telescoping aluminium pole made by Ettore that has a threaded and a tapered end that fits nicely into my larger brass 15" Ettore squeegee. I can reach 15' with that arrangement.

You probably have them in the wrong order. Maybe you attached the plastic head to the wrong pole. I was a little confused so I lined them up before putting the head on to make sure I had the right one. Instructions left a lot to be desired as well as the poles should have been marked A - top, B - middle and C - end.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

My suggestion is that you seek another product. This pretty much requires to pole.

Sorry have no idea. I am doubtful, because from my experience, I would guess that the companies have probably created their own designs on attachments to specifically work with their products. Always a possibility the pieces may work with Squeezo, but it's expensive to find out that they don't work well!

There must be something wrong with my threads then because it will not go on! I have had a couple other photographers try and it does fit theirs but not on mine.

Marilyn-my first response was garbled. I meant to say that I also bought the Ettore pole as well. However, I found that theduster also fit another pole I had--just a happenstance. The pole itself I'm not too happy with. When I extend it it tends to collapse with use. So I had to extend it, fix it in place with clear tape,. and then use it. Hope this helps.

I never had a problem, it just screwed right in. I just unscrewed it to check: the bottom part definitely has threads on the outside of the pole part and the middle pole has threads on the inside. Must be defective. :( Have them send you another.

I broke one of my poles and couldn't find replacements so I cut a piece of 1/2 in PVC and slid it over the broken section. That worked. Sorry, but that is the best answer I could provide.

I purchased the Ettore 65000 professional attachments to go with the pole and they fit perfectly. The extension pole has a threaded end and also has a spring pin to hold different style attachments.

I don't know. I bought it for a different purpose. The end of it looks to have the standard plastic screw type fitting that will screw into a paint roller or a mop-head etc. So if the squeegee you are asking about has that kind of standard receptacle, I would guess this should work. However, you might want to get some other opinions before you buy it. They may sell these in a hardware store near you and you could look at one in person. They should be with painter's supplies.

I don't know if it's exactly for it, the threading is kind off on mine. It does however work with the mega brand pole that you can convert into static or stationary. I have ordered three of theservice extensions, thanks to the 10ft always being out of stock! Out of all three, because one of the ones has threading that is poorly done, it is janky if I'm just walk around it and it's in stationary mode, if I'm doing pole work thought, it spins smoothly. The way I look at it from my experience... there's a 3/1 chance they have smooth attachments and if not the pole still is fully functional either way.

No, I put the ones I have on a fence post and used common horseshoe nails to secure them. Works great.

Yes. That is the intent of the design. It does not use the "squeegee" type design because they tend to wear out quickly.

Thanks all for your input. I ended up going to OSH, matching the thread, then purchasing 1" bolts instead of 1.5" bolts that was supplied in the packaging. So new purchasers, save yourself a bunch of anxiety and buy yourself 1" #8 32 standard thread. I e-talked with the manufacturer, Progress Lighting. That was pretty useless...community, you were much more help! Thanks...

Unfortunately, no. The pole is not round, with threads. Rather it is more of a rectangle with curved edges and hollow. Very strong for cutting branches, not so great for rigging a squeegee on the end of it.
