i usually use the standard quikloc resi neck for most work and carbon goosenecks for solar panels and a few deep ledge window jobs.however with the release of the univalve i might change to a carbon gooseneck for most work as they are very very light and i can have total water control with a univalve fitted.i currently use a pole hose tap at brush end but i cant use them with a carbon gooseneck fitted.
