Not used one myself, but they look very cumbersome to me, there are better options out there IMO, aquadapter, aquatap, tap valve.

The trigger itself, no problem at all.
It'll save you water.

But the loop of hose it creates-that'll make you wanna pack up WFPing sharpish!

It's fine at full extension-top pane perhaps. But ground floor, PITA.
The longer the pole, the greater the ag.

I've yet to find anything better, simpler, cheaper or less cumbersome to use and I can't find anything that gives you more instant or immediate control of the water.

Could uyou post some pictures or explain what you've done please?
Without the loop i think a lot of poler would use the trigger.

Spent a lot of time and money this year working on it. Just got fed up with Pure freedom rivets failing, so got into work shop. And made my own.
D.m fit 1/4" u bend dm fit 2 x 1/4" barb inserts 25 X 25 x2mm thick aliminium angle bracket cut to size then 1 stainless steel bolt which fits t a 22 to 30 mm industrial electrical clamp rubber lined most popular pole size, you can get different diameter clamps to fit various size poles would have liked to use stainless steel bracket but to hard to drill holes.got 16 poles rigged up work great with no leaks.

Try the UNGER trigger easy to swap poles and you can take slack out so no looped pipe
