Seven long-needled pine trees on the public right of way behind our house have made our pool screen a cleaning nightmare for years. Nothing really worked well--leaf blower, pressure washer, push broom head on an extension pole--until we found "the comb" online. It's light enough to fully extend our pole without fear of breaking it, The fine teeth grab and pull the long needles right out with little pressure required. The blade side removes the most stubborn imbedded needles by gently clipping the head so the needles fall through without damage to the screen. This is a great product
