Designed for FAKRO Telescopic Window Pole Opener for Skylight Roof Windows & Blinds (1.1m - 2.0m)

Arrived quickly from seller well packed. Is right length for our needs as we don't need to fully extend. Press clips makes it easy to adjust. Is well made and ot too heavy. The plastic components are not to thin. Fits easily over our handle making it easy to open and close our roof window without a step ladder. Price was bit high but looking around wasn't may to choose from. In event was damaged is fully recyclable as was packaging.

Easy to use ,does the job but could be stronger on the opener as in its plastic,could be metal,see how long it lasts...

We've just had an extension built which has a velux window (Dakea brand). We didn't want to keep getting a step ladder out to open the window or stand on a chair so looked around for a pole. My husband really didn't think we would get one that would work as you have to twist the handle on the window. As the pole could be returned if it didn't work we decided we had nothing to lose and bought one. We're really pleased we did as it works brilliantly! It also arrived three days earlier than I was expecting (two days within ordering it). It extends out to make a really long pole (although the contracted length suits us) and is easy to hide away.

I bought this shorter version, but it did not last long, as only about a year or so later, now the little spring holding the extender part in place dropped out as its plastic stud broke off and now if the pole needs to be used, it has to be kept extended with gaffer tape or something stronger than sticky tape. Being disabled, I use it to open and close curtains as well as opening a high window. Very disappointed that it is not strong enough for daily use.

Great tool , light weight but strong, much better than my homemade effort.

Very flimsy, not really strong enough for the job

Bought to make opening/closing a Velux window at the top of a staircase in a loft conversion easier. The pole extends smoothly and auto locks with buttons which depress easily to close again. It’s lightweight and stores easily in a cupboard. The plastic fitting at the end used to attach to the window handle seems sturdy but care should be used not to twist the pole too much as this could put pressure on the plastic loop. We are fortunate that we can open the window handle by hand and just use the pole to push open and pull down the window again.

It worked initially but when I went to alter the length of the item a spring fell out and wouldn't refit/stay in place making it unusable
