Looks cool, beautiful, definitely not trash.

Beautiful design. It has a strong spring at the end which makes attaching attachments a little tricky, at least the first two times I switch attachments. It's quite thick and I expect it will be me who will adjust. So make sure you hold the nozzle by the base and not the tip when attaching it. However, once attached, the attachment is a solid extension of the handle. No fake garbage. The metal stand (maybe 300 series stainless steel?) in the middle of the mount is also probably a part of the mount that doesn't (yet) move or bend during use. The handle is lengthened and compressed with a collet. The collet is tightened with a wheel nut. The spline gives better grip, but doesn't feel as good in the hand. Also, no tools are required to fully tighten or loosen, as the flats on the handle provide a good surface for manual torque and do so without anything uncomfortable in the hand. The label on this product states that it is carbon. composed. This does not apply to handle and collet holder. I'm not sure what they are made of but they are tough and appear to be more scratch resistant than HDPE but not as tough as polycarbonate which cracks. This indicates a quality selection. As for the carbon composite claim, the rod is definitely made of impregnated plastic. It's strong, light weight and even the thin extension pole hardly flexes, although it does flex a bit leading me to believe that one day after years of mishandling it won't break. Not sure why there is suction power. I left it at 0 stars, which hopefully doesn't affect it. It should be removed as it is not a vacuum cleaner. The only thing that really worries me is the lack of a normal razor holder. Your razor is much longer and clearly a branded attachment. Not sure if the blade needs changing or the entire tip. The sponges appear to be glued to their attachment, which has a solid hinge. This swivel is connected to a hex head, meaning you can easily tighten it in the future if it becomes loose. Another good choice from a manufacturer. I want the net to fit more of this post. One with a much finer mesh. The net that is here easily catches large debris and tetras. Perhaps part of that solution is to prevent people from catching heavy fish with the line fully extended. Given the other choices that seem to have been made to get a good tool to try and break, it would make sense. For example material selection, clamping system and collet system. I will say that it was 2-2.5 times more expensive than other models. If it were more expensive I wouldn't try it. But people complain that cheap is cheap. This one seems more solid to me than what is offered on my LFS and the gray is way better than the regular blue in my opinion. All in all, welcome to my carefully selected, exclusively high-quality hobby tool kit. I don't know who Hygger is or where he's from. But now they're on my radar.
