A wand assembly for a vacuum cleaner includes a first wand, a second wand telescopically arranged with the first wand, and a rotatable locking cuff including first and second locking ramps. The first wand includes a first plurality of grooves arranged in a first row and a second plurality of grooves arranged in a second row, with each row extending in a longitudinal direction. The second wand includes first and second locking teeth integrally formed with the second wand and engageable with the respective first and second pluralities of grooves. Rotation of the locking cuff relative to the wands causes the first locking ramp to deflect the first locking tooth into engagement with one of the first plurality of grooves, and causes the second locking ramp to deflect the second locking tooth into engagement with one of the second plurality of grooves to fix a length of the wand assembly.
