As the review title says, this thing works great.  I got it for use with some new boots I have.  The one thing I would say about it that could be different is that sometimes it feels almost too flexible and I have to work on making sure it gets into the right spot in the boot.  I'll probably just get used to it and it won't be a problem, but until then it still works fine.  It's made very well and I'd recommend it if you need a longer one with reach.
