I've got the Drennan, it's a brilliant bit of kit in my opinion, I did have a problem with it initially, the twist lock was a bit "tempremental" but I took it back, got a replacement and it's been excellent. I reckon it's strong enough for all nets including 36" and 42" Carp and Pike nets, press it against the floor and you don't fear it cracking or snapping. As said above not cheap but a good handle, just give the twist lock a good seeing to in the shop to make sure it does what it's supposed to time and again before you buy.
