A pool cleaning tool have a pole partitioned into a first section and a second section. The first section is positioned at a proximal end of the pole and is configured to be a coupling site for a cleaning attachment. A visual indicium is disposed on the pole delineating a boundary separating the first and the second sections. Each section having a pair of apertures configured to align with complementary apertures disposed on the cleaning attachment. Responsive to one of the apertures in the first section becoming deformed, the cleaning tool can be repaired by severing the first section from the pole along the visual indicium and using the second section as a new coupling site for the cleaning attachment.
