Getting the right size
Window Angle
The most common overlooked aspect of winder poles is that they need to be operated parallel with the screwjack thread. If the difference in angle between the winder pole and the screwjack is too great, you'll experience difficulty turning the screwjack. The hook may fall out of the screwjack and the turning action may not be smooth.
This generally isn't an issue for screwjacks mounted on a pitched roof, but when they are mounted on a vertical wall it may cause issues if the window is at high level. You won't be able to operate screwjack from below the window. But operating a window over a kitchen sink however should be fine.
Pole Length
When measuring the distance, you want to be standing directly in front of the screwjack with the screwjack pointing at you. You'll want to measure the distance from the screwjack's loop to a comfortable operating position, usually by your hips. It's better to be measure slightly under and adjust your reach instead of having a pole that's too long.
