I may be wrong, that only moves in one plane and if it becomes loose you cannot adjust it.

The one I have is rubbish.

It only swivels in one direction.

Is there one that swivels in 360 degrees?

They pivot "left and right" that`s all I need them to do but that`s just my opinion on how I want it to work,

No Usa , its impossible to control,  if you think it through to its conclusion you actually need two movements to acheive that, I think the first movement should be to hinge rather than swivel while the second movement should rotate.

The origional swivel i use on the swivel brush,can move up and down and left and right but i had to stop it moving up and down so i fixed it in position,like Jeff said,it`s impossible to control,i have tried and that`s why i only need them to move left and right,

USA Yes its the instruction I gave you before Christmas.
Here is one as an illustration of a rotation movement , its of my past favourite brushes that started the swivel thoughts. The tube fits inside and can be torqued up tight or loose (which you need to be able to do to control the movement)

This demonstrates what I think as the first hinging movement(its the opposite way to Gaz's
The "hinge" or elevation is tight and is moved manually but when used with a slight angle an the second rotation movement you get control from the ground by a twist of the pole with your wrist. To have control to the left or right. You have to have a slight angle otherwise the magic wont happen.

Its a bit late for me will be back tomorrow night.
The second movement is a 360 degree spin/rotate movement the first is the hinge or up and down movement. Gaz's is left to right.
Sorry Its difficult to explain, so simple it its in your hand.
