I have used these products for years but only purchased my own recently. The new products I received were not made as well as others I have used. The materials seemed flimsier (cheaper) and the pole was not included. When I asked about the pole, I was told to go buy some conduit at the hardware store.... I would have rather had the pole designed for this product included with the purchase. I have used the devise, and it performed as designed, so that's good, although one wing appears to work better than the other... (?) Just concerned about its long-term viability.

Wish it also came with the holding pole

What you see isn’t what you get, the pole isn’t included… I’ve been using these for years they’re great! I wish the pole came with them …

Recently got this to add to my spread and tried it out and one side works phenomenally and gets great motion! The other side appears to have a defective swivel and sticks a lot when trying to move preventing it from spinning. When I reached out to possibly get a replacement I was told it was just the wind and to slap WD-40 on it, I did try putting some lubricant in the swivel but it still has the same lack of motion from the one arm. This is a bit pricier product especially since a pole isn’t included which I’m fine with but I was expecting to get a premium product/Service for the premium price.

Update: Tanglefree reached out directly to me and walked me through some troubleshooting and even offered to replace the arm after but the troubleshooting they recommended did work and fix the issue. Glad they reached out and really stood behind they’re product.

Bought my second whacker after atleast 10 years. Great for preseason before motorized season. Light and easy to pack on windy days.
