i've found the Wooster brand of extendable poles at Home Depot to be very well made

Seconded... I have one and it works great.

Yellow...not sure on exact feet...25 maybe...30. something like that it's crazy long.

If the plastic latch breaks you're screwed though. I've thought of 3d printing a guard ring to make sure that the lock section can't hit the ground when dropped.

Not a bad idea...even just use a hose clamp zip tie add some pool noodle

If the latch breaks you could also just put a pip pin in the hole, just complicates handling a tad.

I have one that extends to probably 15 feet that I bought at home depot. Seems solid. Gets so little use I'm sure it will last super long. Takes multiple attachments, very handy.
