This is one tough tool built for every tough job! Designed off of our original 48" round handled bar, we kept as many of the great features as possible - while making this lighter. Feedback from the field was - sometimes we are on jobs where we are holding the bar in front of us and over our head all day long. The 48" round is a beast - but it gets heavy when used over your head for hours. So we kept the head design everyone loves, but made a few small changes to the structure to get weight down by 2.2 pounds!! The head angle is slightly increased for improved performance on walls and ceilings - and the weight is one you can use all day!!!
