However, there are always going to be disadvantages to such a versatile tool that can separate it from its main source of power. According to Pro Tool Reviews, though not too much of a big deal, whenever you’re trying to insert an attachment, there may be times when it won’t lock right away, and you’re going to find yourself having to move it around until you hear that final click. The review site also mentions that there are no universal attachments available, so the only tools that can be used with the power head are the Quik-Lok attachments. This means that you have to invest in the system to reap the benefits of owning the power head.
Users have also complained about the poles getting stuck to the power head. One Reddit user stated that their heavier attachments, like the brushes, get stuck due to their weight, causing the tool to bend. He did find that if he laid it down on the ground and then pulled, the tool had less tension and came out easier. Other than that, though, there hasn’t been much in the way of negative reviews.
