One hundred and twenty, ninety-seven, or a hundred and five
The page gives three answers and none of them is 120.
The title: “Selkie 120inch”. Bullet one: “120 INCH”.
Bullet two: “6pcs wands extends to 97inch/8 feet”.
Bullet five, the package: 6 × 15 inches = 90, plus two curved rods at 7.5 each = 105.
So the parts add to 105 inches, the bullet says 97, the title says 120, and nothing on the page supports the title.
The 97 is not even a mistake — it is the right total for a different kit. The sister Selkie on this shelf has three curved rods, and its bullet two is this same sentence word for word. Ninety inches of wand plus one rod is 97.5.
What you can actually rely on: 90 inches of straight extension — 7.5 feet — plus whichever rod you fit.
In use that reaches a single-story gutter line from the ground, a soffit, the top of a garage door, the roof of a van. Bullet two’s “if you want to wash second or third story” follows from none of the three figures; a second-story gutter is typically eighteen to twenty feet up, and the only item on this shelf that publishes that kind of reach is the TOR at 24 feet.
The same price as the sister listing, with one rod fewer
Both are $29.49. Set them side by side:
Both: stainless steel with brass fittings · 4,000 psi · six 15-inch straight wands · 1/4” NPT quick connect · 20 O-ring washers · five spray nozzles · the same catalog shipping box, 419 × 105 × 105 mm · bullets two and three identical word for word, down to the typo “threassure”
Only the sister listing: a 120° curved rod, alongside the 30° and 90° that both have.
Only this listing: the deflection admission and the taping advice, in bullet four.
The third rod is worth having. 120° turns back past the vertical, so from directly underneath a gutter lip you can aim toward yourself — which is the one angle you cannot improvise. 30° pushes water up under a soffit from a standing position; 90° hooks over the lip so the jet runs along the channel instead of splashing over the edge.
And the two references differ: 0782902454937 here against 01 there, for two kits that share most of a page.
So on the published information the three-rod one is the buy, at the same money. What this page gives you that the other does not is the warning in the next section — and it applies to both.
The deflection admission, which is the best thing on the page
“(suggest wrap the connection of the extension wand with adhesive tape or tighten it with tools; Due to its long length, There is some deflection when using.)”
Nothing else on this shelf says this, and it is true of every long wand here.
Ninety inches of stainless tube weighs on the order of two kilograms once the rods and a nozzle are fitted — the sister listing publishes 4.3 pounds for the same box — and in use it is full of water under pressure.
At full extension the far end sags. Which means the jet does not go where you point it: you aim at a gutter lip and the stream lands a foot low, and correcting by lifting the butt end loads your wrists with the whole lever.
Two things follow.
Assemble only what you need. Three of the six wands gives about four feet, which is plenty for a car, a fence or wheel arches, and holds a straight line.
At full length, expect to brace. The TOR at $91.99 is the only item on this shelf that ships a “lengthened support belt to save your strength”, and this is exactly the problem it addresses. The POOPLE and the TOR use aluminum rather than stainless for the same reason — a third the density, and at 24 feet there is no alternative.
The taping half of the sentence is about something else and equally real: ten threaded joints, each sealing on a small rubber ring, and a leak at the third one up runs down your arms rather than out of the nozzle. Which is why twenty O-rings in the box is a better inclusion than it looks — the Xiny Tool ships ten, and nothing else here mentions them at all.
Two angles, and what each is for
30° and 90°, both at 7.5 inches by bullet five, and both at 6 inches by bullet two of the sister listing — which shares that sentence and so inherits the discrepancy.
The 30° rod is for shallow approaches: pushing water up under a soffit or along the inside face of a fascia from a position where you can still see what you are doing.
The 90° rod is the gutter hook. Over the lip, jet pointing down the channel, flushing debris toward the downpipe instead of over the edge onto the drive. This is the one that makes a long wand a gutter tool rather than a long wand.
Bullet two also names a “type U Curved Rod” that appears nowhere in this package list — another inheritance from the shared sentence, where the sister kit’s third rod would be.
The rest of the shelf, for approach angles: the Xiny Tool at $29.99 has 30°, 90° and a U shape; the sister Selkie has 30°, 90° and 120°; the TOR ships “2 extension wands (15 degrees & gutter cleaner)”; the Simpson at $29.99 is straight only.
Five nozzles, and the one to leave in the box
“5 * spray nozzles” in the package, with no angles named — where the sister listing names 0, 15, 25, 40 and 65 degrees under a heading that says six.
Those five are the complete industry set: 0° red, 15° yellow, 25° green, 40° white, 65° black for soap.
The 0° is the one to leave alone. It puts the pump’s entire output on a point a few millimeters across — it gouges timber, etches concrete in visible stripes, and is genuinely dangerous to skin. On a wand at full extension, where you cannot see the surface closely, it is worse again.
The 40° and 25° do nearly all the work, and on a stack this long the 40° is the sensible default: the wider the fan, the less a foot of sag matters.
The 65° applies detergent rather than cleaning — a low-pressure tip that lets soap leave the nozzle without being atomized.
The AURORA CAR rotary nozzle at $13.99 is the one pattern this set does not contain, and it fits the same 1/4 inch quick connect.
What is not published
No weight, where the sister listing publishes 4.3 pounds for an identically sized box and presents it, oddly, as an advantage: “is weighter than others”.
No temperature limit, where the Xiny Tool and the Simpson both publish 140 °F and the Simpson adds “only for cold water use”. The steam cleaners on this site’s neighboring shelf run between 212 and 293 °F, and nothing on this shelf is rated to pass that.
No explanation for the 120-inch title, which is the figure most likely to decide a purchase.
No warranty, where the Simpson’s 90 Day limited accessory is the only term on this shelf.
No tape in the box, on a page that tells you to tape the joints.
