5 m (16 ft) · cm front, mm back · 0.8 mm (0.03 in) 6063-T5 aluminum
Body and fittings
5 telescopic sections
A staff turns a level line into a height difference. The scale is the product.
What the manufacturer publishes
Double-sided markings with centimeters on the front and millimeters on the back, with weather-resistant ink. Five adjustable telescopic sections extending to 5 m (16 ft). Construction from 0.8 mm (0.03 in) anodized 6063-T5 aluminum with weather- and corrosion-resistant markings.
The check that matters more than the specification
Extend it fully and let go. If any section slides, the staff will read short by exactly that amount at exactly the moment you are not watching. It is the single failure of telescopic staffs and no maker publishes anything about it — you check it yourself, before every job.
Where five meters puts you
Enough for a story and a half, floor to ceiling with margin, or the fall across a site. The 6 m (20 ft) staff in this hub is for vehicle height and larger spans.
Availability
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

What gets asked here
Why two different scales?
They are read at different distances. A centimeter scale with large figures is legible through an instrument at thirty meters; a millimeter scale is for reading against a receiver or by hand. Putting one on each face means the staff serves both without compromise.
What should I check before each use?
That every section locks positively. A staff whose middle section creeps down under its own weight adds an error that never shows up in the numbers.
What is 6063-T5?
An aluminum alloy temper. VEVOR states 0.8 mm (0.03 in) of anodized 6063-T5, which is the ordinary specification for a light telescopic staff — stiff enough extended, light enough to hold steady.
Fourteen feet on four sections and the thickest wall on the shelf — on a page that cannot agree with itself about the graduation.
Body and fittings
FOUR telescopic sections reaching 14 ft and collapsing to 51 in. Four sections for fourteen feet is the best length-per-joint ratio on this shelf — three and a half feet per section — against five sections for nine feet on another AdirPro here. Each joint is a creep point, so fewer is stiffer
Material
1 mm (0.04 in) thick, ± 0.05 mm (0.002 in), stated. It is the THICKEST published wall on this shelf — the only other figure given is 0.8 mm (0.03 in) — and on a 14 ft rod extended to its limit, wall thickness is what stops the top section bowing under its own weight
Scale
The TITLE says "10th Foot Graduations". The fourth bullet says "dual graduations of an engineer's scale feet/eights on the front and standard feet/inches on the back". Tenths and eighths are not the same scale and they are not interchangeable: an engineer's level is set out in tenths, and reading an eighths rod against it means converting every figure. Settle this on the order page
Stated dimension or range
14 ft extended, 51 in folded — both published, which only two rods on this shelf manage
Measuring mode
A bubble level, stated, and a rectangular section stated to ensure easy handling and flush alignment with flat surfaces. A special measuring scale on the back for overall height reading is stated without being explained
Supplied
A durable soft carrying bag with an adjustable shoulder strap. No spare lock button, unlike the maker's own 9 ft rod on this shelf, and nothing is published about the locking buttons at all

Fourteen feet on four sections — three and a half feet per joint
1 mm (0.04 in) wall, the thickest published on this shelf
Tenths in the title, eighths in the bullet
Best for: Reach with stiffness, where fourteen feet on three joints beats sixteen on four
The only rod on this shelf that ships a spare for the part that actually fails.
Supplied
A REPLACEMENT LOCK BUTTON is included in the package, stated — the only spare part supplied with any rod on this shelf. This shelf's buying tip says to check that every section locks positively, because a staff whose middle section creeps adds an error you will not notice in the numbers; the lock button is that part, and it is a small sprung plastic component that breaks. A carrying bag is included as well
Body and fittings
LARGE locking buttons, stated to lock the sections securely and prevent slippage. Five telescopic sections in thick aluminum alloy and plastic, stated 100% waterproof and corrosion-resistant — the only rod here to claim waterproof rather than weather-resistant
Stated dimension or range
9 ft extended on five sections. No folded length is published, which on a five-section 9 ft rod would be about two feet. One rod on this shelf reaches 14 ft on four sections
Scale
Red foot markings for maximum visibility, stated ideal for use with construction lasers and optical surveying equipment, with a backside scale for overall height reading measured in 8ths. Eighths rather than tenths: eighths read naturally against a tape and tenths against an engineer scale, and the two are not interchangeable
Material
Thick aluminum alloy and plastic, stated. No thickness figure appears, where two rods on this shelf publish one
Reference and mounting
A rectangular section, stated to give an easy grip while taking measurements. No tripod thread and no receiver clamp is published

A spare lock button in the box, unique on this shelf
Large locking buttons, stated against slippage
Five sections for nine feet, where a rival does it in three
Best for: Interior and foundation work where nine feet is enough, by somebody who has had a lock button fail
A 5 m (16 ft) staff supplied with its base plate — the part that decides whether the staff stands where you put it rather than sinking into the ground.

Body and fittings
5 m (16 ft) telescopic
Reference and mounting
base plate included
A base plate is included, which most staffs do not supply
Telescopic to a stated 5 m (16 ft)
No material, section count or scale detail published
Best for: Leveling on soft or uneven ground, where the foot of the staff needs somewhere solid to sit.
Magnetic and washable in one plate, which nothing else here manages — at six times the price per plate of the same maker's cards.
Reference and mounting
Strong built-in magnets for secure attachment to metal surfaces, stated. Combined with the washable material below, this is the only plate on this shelf that is BOTH magnetic and washable — the adhesive cards from the same maker are washable and not magnetic, and the five magnetic plates here say nothing about being washed
Material
Durable, water-resistant material, stated — rinse and reuse for long-term performance. On a plate that gets set on a dusty slab and then on a window, a face that can be rinsed rather than wiped is the difference between a clean target and a grey one
Functions
Stated to improve laser DOT detection in bright or long-range conditions, and designed specifically to work with the HOZO M-Cube 02 laser distance meter. Note the word dot: this is aimed at a point laser, a distance meter, rather than at a line — which is a different job from most of this shelf
Also stated
NO TINT Color, on a shelf whose tag reads "a red plate for a red line, a green plate for a green one". Neither HOZO listing here publishes one, and this shelf's introduction calls the tint the one specification people get wrong
Scale
NONE published. No increments, no center zero and no crosshair — so the plate makes a dot visible and does not help you measure from it. At least five of the ten plates on this shelf carry a scale
Stated dimension or range
Not published. The parcel weighs 68 g (2.4 oz), which is more than twice the 30 g (1.1 oz) of the plate on this shelf that does publish its size

Magnetic and washable, which nothing else here is both of
A water-resistant face that rinses rather than wipes
Twenty-nine dollars, the most expensive plate on this shelf
Best for: A HOZO M-Cube 02 owner who wants one plate that goes on steel and wipes clean
The only target here that works on glass and concrete — because it is glue, not a magnet — and the only one with a published reuse count.
Reference and mounting
ADHESIVE, not magnetic: stated to attach to any surface including walls, CONCRETE, wood and GLASS. It is the only non-magnetic plate on this shelf and that is its reason to exist — a magnet needs steel, and a glazed shopfront, a poured slab or a plastered room offers none. This shelf's introduction lists magnetic backing as one of five comparisons; this plate answers the question the other way
Also stated
Washable and reusable, stated to retain their stickiness up to 100 TIMES. It is the only reuse count published on this shelf, and on an adhesive product it is the figure that decides whether this is a consumable or a tool — a hundred uses at under five dollars a card is a long time
Supplied
Four cards, stated, at nineteen dollars — about four dollars seventy-five each, the lowest price per plate on this shelf. The same maker's single magnetic plate on this shelf costs twenty-nine dollars
Functions
Stated suitable for alignment, laser levels, rotating lasers, cross lasers and laser measurement, and for the maker's own M-Cube laser distance meter. NO TINT Color is stated — neither red nor green — on a shelf whose tag reads: a red plate for a red line, a green plate for a green one
Scale
NONE. No increments, no center zero and no crosshair is published. This shelf's introduction says a printed scale is what turns a plate into a marking aid; at least five of the ten plates here carry one and this is not among them
Stated dimension or range
Not published. No size and no thickness appears, and the parcel weighs 20 g (0.7 oz) for four cards — which describes a card rather than a board
