Here is a 2 pronger I made today for a forum member. He wanted a 4 ft handle. I made this one out of heavy duty tubing, .090 which is about 3/32" and300% thicker than a pool handle. Note that even though the handle is pretty thick, it looks thicker in this picture than it really is.

For a 4ft handle, this is fine as it is not too heavy.

For a longer handle, this thickness of tubing would probably be too heavy.

I have not found a better product strength/weight ratio, than the pool handle so far, for a long handle.

One thing is for sure, you can step on this handle, throw it around , bang it up, bounce it off rocks, or whatever, you are not going to mess this handle up short of running over it with your vehicle, and even then I'm not too sure about that lol.
