Snow Joe SJBLZD The Original 2-In-1 Telescoping Snow Broom + Ice Scraper

Pole Won’t Extend or Feels Jammed

Having trouble extending your Snow Joe SJBLZD telescoping pole? Don’t worry — this is a common issue that’s easy to fix. Follow the steps below to safely release and adjust your snow broom pole.

Q1: My pole is stuck and won’t extend — what should I do?

A: If your pole feels jammed or won’t extend, here’s how to loosen it safely:

1. Hold the bottom section of the pole firmly.

2. Twist the upper section counterclockwise to unlock the telescoping mechanism.

3. Extend the pole to your desired length.

4. Twist clockwise to lock it back into place securely.

Q2: What if twisting still doesn’t loosen the pole?

A: If the pole remains stuck after loosening attempts:

1. Double-check that you’re twisting the correct joint, as some models feature more than one locking section.

2. Use small back-and-forth twisting motions while gently pulling outward on the pole.

3. If it’s still jammed, gently tap the top of the pole with a rubber mallet — this helps release the internal lock

 Important:
Do not use metal tools or apply excessive force, as this can damage the locking threads or deform the mechanism.
