Poolzilla 35" Stainless Steel XL Installation Rod for Pool Cover Springs — 35" Reach, Rubber Grip

The Poolzilla 35" Stainless Steel XL Installation Rod is a long, durable hook tool designed to safely install and remove pool cover springs from standard brass anchors.

Installing or removing safety cover springs can be awkward, time-consuming, and hard on your hands. The Poolzilla 35" XL installation rod gives you extra reach and leverage so you can place or extract springs without climbing into the pool or struggling with short, flimsy tools. Built from stainless steel with a soft rubber grip, this rod is sized and shaped for universal compatibility with standard brass pool cover anchors.

How does this rod make installing pool cover springs easier?

The extended 35" length provides reach and mechanical advantage, letting you hook springs and slide them into anchors using steady pressure instead of brute force. The hooked end holds the spring while you position it, reducing slips and the need for awkward hand contortions.

• 35-inch stainless steel shaft for extra reach and leverage
• Hooked tip designed to securely hold standard cover springs
• Rubber grip for a steady, non-slip hold during installation
• Sized for use from pool deck — no need to step on the cover

Will this rod work with my pool’s anchors and springs?

This tool was made as a universal fit for standard brass pool cover anchors and common pool cover springs. It’s intended to match typical residential safety covers rather than specialized commercial hardware, so check your anchor type if you have an uncommon system.

• Compatible with standard brass anchors used in most residential safety covers
• Works with common spring sizes found on consumer covers
• Not designed for non-standard or heavily modified anchor systems
• Single-piece construction avoids weak connections or wobble

How durable and comfortable is the Poolzilla installation rod?

The rod uses premium stainless steel to resist bending and corrosion around pool water and chemicals. A rubberized handle cushions your grip and prevents slipping in wet conditions so you can apply steady force without discomfort.

• Stainless steel construction for strength and rust resistance
• Rubber grip reduces hand fatigue and improves control
• Single 35" length offers consistent leverage without joints
• Lightweight enough to handle easily yet robust for repeated use

Can I also remove springs with this rod?

Yes — the same hooked action that helps you install springs works in reverse to remove them safely. By securing the spring on the hook and applying controlled leverage, you can extract springs without damaging your cover or anchors.

• Hook holds springs securely during removal
• 35" reach keeps you on the deck while you work
• Reduces risk of slipping or sudden spring release
• Works for both installation and removal tasks

Who is this for? Poolzilla’s 35" Stainless Steel XL Installation Rod is aimed at homeowners, pool service technicians, and anyone who installs or maintains safety pool covers. It’s especially useful if you need extra reach or want a corrosion-resistant tool that fits standard brass anchors and simplifies routine cover work. If you use a residential safety cover and want a reliable, ergonomic tool to speed up spring changes while protecting hands and cover hardware, this rod is a practical addition to your pool tool kit.
