"Worth EVERY penny!"The real bonus is it actually works. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. The net of this set is a little small for my uses. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. It is quite sturdy and made of stainless steel so it should last a long time. Small and inconspicuous in the tank.

AQUANEAT CS-A864 Final Thoughts
"Lots of spare blades."I have bigger fish and the net is for smaller. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium. One or two passes and glass was spotless. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. This tool has enough reach and is plenty strong enough. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank.

"Just amazing!"If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock. Guess how I learned that mistake lol. So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

"It is small and compact."The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. You don't need a lot of force, just patience. One or two passes and glass was spotless. If they had an extension that'd be nice. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

"My back thanks you."It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. I have used the scrapper and it removed the algae from my tank's glass very easily. It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. My husband has even tried to remove it. That has an impact on how well this brush works.

"Wait for it."The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. I like that the length is adjustable, too. How can a pandemic cause algae you ask. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with.
