In addition to the proven and trusted spring loaded release mechanism, Ketch-All has added a unique emergency release feature: a simple lift and slide of the knob allows the cable loop to drop away. Ketch-All has retained our essential swivel head mechanism, now redesigned for emergency release and quick, easy reattachment of the cable, making the Ketch & Release All Pole unlike any other on the market  Please Note: All Ketch-All poles incorporate the swivel head mechanism
