The Dually was purpose-built as a hybrid of Skimlite's two most trusted locking technologies, pairing a Nylon Outside Thread Lock with a patented Internal Cam Lock in one pole that can be operated with either lock alone or with both locks engaged at the same time. When the job demands maximum holding power — heavy brushing, aggressive vacuuming, or pushing the pole to full extension under load — engaging both locks produces an iron-tight grip on the inner section, while a single lock keeps lighter, faster-paced cleaning tasks moving quickly without sacrificing reliability. The 9012 is constructed from the thickest aircraft-quality drawn aluminum available in the commercial pool service industry, features a 1-1\/8-inch outside diameter for a confident grip, and includes oversized drain holes that lighten the pole in use. Female, ferrule, and cam fittings are all fully user-replaceable, and the 9012 is made in the USA by Skimlite Manufacturing, in business since 1954.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Outside-Thread and Internal-Cam Locking:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 9000 Dually Series combines two of Skimlite's most trusted locking mechanisms — the Nylon Outside Thread Lock, an industry standard since 1959, and a patented Internal Cam Lock — into one pole, allowing pool service techs to choose between single-lock speed and dual-lock holding power depending on the task at hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry's Thickest Drawn Aluminum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built from the thickest aircraft-quality drawn aluminum tubing Skimlite produces, the 9012 provides exceptional rigidity and strength across the full 6 to 12 foot extension range and stands up to the daily impacts and stresses of professional pool service without permanent bending, flex memory, or material fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/8-Inch Pole with Lightening Drain Holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1-1\/8-inch outside diameter delivers a sturdy grip surface that gives the technician confident control over the head, and strategically placed oversized drain holes reduce the volume of water trapped inside the pole, lowering effective weight in hand during long service days and lengthy brushing sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependently Serviceable Wear Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Female, ferrule, and internal cam fittings on the 9012 are each independently user-replaceable when they wear, allowing the pole to be repeatedly restored to factory performance through standard parts replacement rather than forcing the user to discard and replace the entire pole, a longstanding Skimlite design principle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA by Skimlite Manufacturing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skimlite Manufacturing has been producing professional pool maintenance equipment in the United States since 1954, and as a third-generation American family-owned company, it continues to supply the pool service trade with poles, rakes, and skimmers backed by more than 70 years of quality and parts support behind every model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Skimlite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55164957425955,"sku":"9012","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/0987\/5235\/files\/wpmSkimlite90122PCTelepoleDualLock6_-12.jpg?v=1780069336","url":"https:\/\/wholesalepoolmart.com\/products\/skimlite-9012-2-pc-telepole-dual-lock-6-12","provider":"Wholesale Pool Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
