Exactly 

You can use the same pole for everything from bungalows up to skylights, flick of the wrist and the brush is always flat to the glass and reaches the corners even when upside down. Take it off for gutters and conservatory finials. Never needed a gooseneck for the last six years.

I actually used a long reach, fixed neck this week for a few particular, deep set windows. Man, I can't believe just how much more you have to move your whole body about with a fixed neck!! I felt handicapped by it!!

I like the swivel, but a few weeks a go I stuck carbon gooseneck on, and haven't taken it off since. I like the solid feel of it on the glass compared to then swivel, there are time when it is awkward with the gooseneck, but equally there are times when the swivel isn't suitable.

What we need is a carbon gooseneck swivel that can be locked out.
