Gotta twist off a hard to remove floodlight, etc.


I like the PVC suggestion.


Cross drill and stick a screw through 'em.

Not fast enough.


Slip on, twist without slipping, slip off.


No more than 1 second to slip poles together or to pull them apart.


Why?
'cuz that seems a bit over the top.


That is the spec.


So cross drill the coupling portion and insert a suitable
roll-pin. Cut notches in the mating pipe to fit roll-pin.
