hygger Carbon Fiber 6 in 1 Aquarium Cleaning Tool Kit Algae Scraper Scrubber Pad Sponge Telescopic Handle Fish Tank Brush Cleaner Set for Saltwater Freshwater

This is a really nice product and the shaft is exceptionally rigid which is perfect for scrubbing the inside of your tank. The optional extras that comes with are all very useful in helping keep your aquarium clean. HOWEVER The scrubbing pad is practically useless and has no ability to remove any algae from the inside of your tank. The only option is to buy a scrubbing pad and glue it to the available pad. I still consider it a really good buy for this Price And whether you have a acrylic aquarium or a glass aquarium your choice of pad is easily available to purchase for a few dollars and to attach like I have.

The design is nice. It has a sturdy spring at the end which makes attaching the tips slightly more difficult, at least the first two times I changed tips. It is thick enough that I expect it to be me who adjusts. So just make sure you hold the attachment at it's base, and not by the tip when you attach it. However, once in place the attachment is a solid extension of the handle. No flimsy garbage. The metal post(possibly 300 series stainless?) in the center of the attachment is likely also part of it not moving or bending when in use(so far). The handle extends and contracts by use of a collet. The collet tightens via a nut which has ridges. A spline might give better grip but wouldn't feel as good in the hand. Also, no tools needed to tighten all the way or loosen due to the flats on the handle which provide a good surface for hand torque, and does so without anything that would be uncomfortable in the hand.The explanation of this product says that it's carbon composite. This does not appear to apply to the handle and collet holder. I'm not sure what they are made of, but are stiff and seems more scratch resistant than hdpe but not downright hard like polycarbonate, which cracks. This suggests a high quality choice. As for the carbon composite claim- the pole is certainly an impregnated plastic. It's strong, lightweight, and even the skinny extension pole has little flex, though thankfully, does have a little, making me think it won't just snap one day under years of abuse.I am unsure why there is a rating for suction. I left it at 0 stars, which I hope has no impact. It should be removed, as this is not a vacuuming device.My only actual gripe is the lack of a common razor holder. Their razor is much longer, and is clearly a proprietary attachment. I'm not sure if the blade is meant to be changed, or the whole tip. The sponges appear to be adhered to their attachment, which has a tight swivel. That swivel is connected via an Allen head, meaning in the future you might be able to tighten it slightly were it to become loose. Another good choice by the manufacturer. I'd like a larger net to fit this pole. One with a much finer mesh. The net that is here will catch large debris and tetras, no problem. Perhaps part of this decision is to prevent people from trying to net a heavy fish with the pole fully extended. This would make sense considering other decisions which appear to have been made to get you a good tool you'd have to try to break. Like the material choices, attachment system, and collet system.I will say this was 2-2.5 times the price of other models. If it was more expensive I may not have tried it. But, people complain about the cheap ones being cheap. This one seems more solid to me than what is offered even in my LFS, and the grey is so much better in my opinion than the common blue. All in all, this has a welcome home in my carefully selected, high quality only, hobby tool kit.I don't know who Hygger is, or where they are from. But they are now on my radar.

Ive bought other brands of this tool and this is by far the best. its strong and sturdy. the scraper works great

Was hoping for something to clean the filters better,

Easy to use and everything is useful.
