How to couple two poles to make a quick extension pole? (wood, metal,
or plastic)

Problem: Couple/join 2-3/4" dia 5' long poles to make a 10' extension
pole that will not twist slip but which may easily pull apart?

Fewest parts, easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

Ideas??

Plastic plumbing pipe. Shove the sections into couplings and they'll
stay
together - good enough to hook a clothesline back over the pulley.
Plus
you can easily glue/bolt/clamp something to a coupling and stick that
on
the end.

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.

Make em in a hex shape at the coupling so they don't rotate. Fix the
coupling on one pole.
