In reply to JLS:
> Is the Metolius Superclip thread compatible with “standard” painters poles found in the U.K. DIY shops?
I bought a painting pole from B&Q and had to shave off the plastic tapered end attachment on the pole to fit the supeclip. Also wrapped some self-almalgamating tape around the shaved tapered end for a solid fit. Snug as now and for the last 4 or so years.
So I guess the thing is, you can easily make it fit if it doesn't initially. Great solid clipstick.
