Hi everyone. I'm working on a project (a bit specialized), where I'm going to hold down a certain thing. On one end I've got a striker that I already have machined, and on the other end I've got hooks that I've specced from McMaster. Together, these were attached to this pole (http://ift.tt/2uIMjJ5). Everything fit together well, but because this application has the tool in fairly strong (~20-30 lbs) tension, the pole couldn't stay locked in position. Essentially, I want to find another, stronger extension pole reaching 2-4 feet that can be pulled in tension and remain locked in place. Ideally there could be a way to attach hooks on one end and the striker on the other end. I had the striker tapped on one end to attach to the standard extension pole thread, but I'm not opposed to welding instead. Any help would be enormously appreciated. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2urpNJr
