The Passeport Elite pole threads directly onto the WrapAway, so you can cut a wrap off from a safe standing position instead of crouching beside the cow. It is sold as a painter’s pole, and that is part of the appeal: it is simple, sturdy, and easy on the budget.
- Lightweight aluminum, so it is easy to handle when you are working down a pen of cows
- Standard threaded metal tip that fits the WrapAway with no adapter
- Extends from 2 feet to 4 feet, so you can set your reach for a headlock, a chute, or a cow standing in the pen
- Twist lock: turn it one way to unlock, the other way to lock
To change the length, you turn the pole to unlock it, slide it in or out, and turn it back to lock it. It telescopes easily, so you can change your reach as you move from one cow to the next.
Because it locks with a twist, you can stop at any length between 2 and 4 feet.
Which pole is right for you?
Three poles fit the WrapAway. They all do the job well. The difference is the length and the way they lock.
- Wooden Extension Pole: A 28-inch wooden pole with a fixed length. Compact and ready to use, a good fit for close work like a tie-stall.
- Variable Extension Pole: Extends from 2 feet to 4 feet and locks with a button click at set positions. You get the same length every time you set it.
- Passeport Elite: Extends from 2 feet to 4 feet and locks with a twist. It stops at any length in between, so you can set the exact reach you want.
If you work up close, the wooden pole keeps it simple. If you like the same reach every time, the click pole gives you that. If you like to set your reach to the spot you are working in, go with the twist pole.
Pair it with the WrapAway to make sure wraps come off on time, every time.
