Bought this due to a Black Friday sale (something I'd had on the "wish list" for awhile). Source was https://www.truckntow.com/quickclick...o-15-feet.html
Overall impression: "meh".
Funny how such a simple device can cause me to scratch my head. For instance, the hinge mechanism had me stumped on how it opened to 90 degrees so I called tech support. I was told "just pull it--it will go". I did and then I had metal shavings in my lap as the pivot head's teeth ground themselves from square to bevel. The guy on the phone was incredulous, "It did WHAT?". He offered a replacement but I declined. (Now we both understand the directions printed on the side, aka "pull it towards you then turn"). It actually works easier now and still locks in place just fine.
The second issue was me stuck in a paradigm--I assumed the poles that extended for length would lock in place by twisting (like an extension rod). Nope. Once that was figured out I played with the QuickClick and found it works...like a long (expensive) stick.
Does have a nice storage bag, though.
So bottom line is it does what it claims to do. If I'm ever in a sketchy spot or doubt clearance I now have a gadget that will allow me to double-check before tearing off an air conditioner or damaging the roof.
