Comments about Extension Handles:
the swiver feature of the extension handle is very convenient, but the loud noise caused by the metal buttons that vibrate is such an annoyance that I have tried everything to stop it, sprayed with silicone, etc. I finally taped the thing down and I can only use it without the swivel feature, but it is better than the noise. perhaps they ought to replace the nubs with a rubber compound so that the rattling is not more noise than my small 5 hp motor. It is truly irritating!
