I doubt that there is such a thing as a ten-meter pole. It would be a little unwieldy, don't you think? I believe ten-foot poles were actually used for something (by builders).
A three-meter pole might make sense and would be about the right size. To summarize, "I wouldn't touch that with a three-meter pole" might be an exception to a general policy of leaving proverbs as they are.
