All credit to Graham VK5GM for finding this little gem.
It’s a tree lopper, 8 piece fibreglass.

A bit of a description.
The poles are made of fibreglass 2mm thick. The rod diameter is 25mm and each pole is 1 metre long. The poles are screwed together using steel coupleings. The threaded portion is 31mm with the outer diameter of the steel coupling 34mm.
The lopper portion can be dismantled leaving a pulley to be attached at the top of the pole for hoisting the antenna and unun/balun.
Its a very strong pole when assembled. Using 2 or 3 extra poles you could get a decent 11/12 metre mast.
A guy ring could be be made from 1mm stainless steel to fit between the screwed sections. I can get these laser cut so everything is standard.
