Unfortunately I have to agree, the Squidgly doesn't have tight tolerances so feels kind of sloppy, especially for the price. I can't recommend this product either for everyday all around use, BUT the ability to articulate the head is amazing. There's been a handful of time already where I've been able to grab coral frag out from under cracks and tight places which would have otherwise been impossible. Keep in mind my tank is 26" high, I have short arms, and some areas of my tank are densely grown, so for my situation it has helped but only for very specific times.
