Quick Instructable on how to securely attach a paint brush to an extensions pole. This useful for reaching places that a roller cannot reach.
Parts:
1. Extension pole
2. Rubber pipe coupler. I selected a 1.5 inch x 1.25 inch coupler, but you can choose one based on the width of your extension pole.
3. Duct tape
4. Paint brush
5. 6-in-1 screwdriver

Tape Brush to Extension Pole

1. Insert extension pole into coupler and move it down about 3 inches.
2. Use a little duct tape to attach brush to the extension pole.
3. Try not to use too much. This is just intended to hold it on to the pole temporarily at the next step.
4. Move pipe coupler over end of the brush with the duct tape on it.

1. On the 6-in-1 screwdriver driver, remove the #2 Philips bit to use the 5/16 inch nut driver.
2. Use the 5/16 inch nut driver to tighten the hose clamps.
3. Tighten one clamp so that it is holding the brush handle secure, but not too tight.
4. Tighten the 2nd clamp so that it is securing the handle tightly to the pole.
5. Go back and tighten the 1st clamp tightly to the pole.
