personally i dont like the idea of having the extra weight at the top of the pole, and with the thumb screw and the big loop in the hose at the top, is only going to get snagged on things.
if they could of incorperated the idea into a gooseneck,that simply screws into the pole threaded end so its not just bodged on to the end of your pole, i think that would of been a better product.
