Not for hanging Christmas lights in high places

I bought this to hang Christmas lights in a tree and the length seemed ideal. It was doing its job perfectly fine until it started extending to its full length. Once it’s fully extended, the handle portion of it is not all strong that strong. It started bending and by the time I was done it was no longer telescopic into the last section so I now have a bent 10’ or so pole I need to store to take the lights back down. To use it at it’s full length, the purpose you’re buying it for presumably, it’s pretty much a one time use product. It’s probably best suited for much lighter duty applications.
