maybe I missed it on the shelf but yes there's a 24-36 inch version. I was excited when I saw it, needed my new gadget reef fix. also I just noticed only 2 extendable version, and a 5 1/2, 12, 24. pro II all come with 3 pack of accessories.

How do those scrapers work compared to a blade? Always see them but never once bought one.... Would be nice to not have to get my complete arm under water to clean my glass...

worked great!! i got all the coraline off the very bottom near sand bed, got a lil wet using the stubby handle to get top near trim, but all coraline is gone, i used the plastic blade to scrape my over flow box. i then used the stuby handle and the mop pad to clean my acrylic sump, i like a pretty sump

I like them too, prefer it over a razor blade

I like a clean sump as well.... Been thinking about cleaning it soon.

@rob.... Why? Does it do a better job? If so, I'm picking one up next time I'm at a shop....

The handle for one makes it nice - easier to hold and don't get wet. I started using the plastic scraper over a blade when I had my Finnex and scratched the glass beyond pretty with a blade. Also they don't dull like a blade will, no metal to worry about, and it is a lot harder to accidentally damage silicone with a scraper versus a blade.

I bought the refill packs at Elegant not knowing if they would fit in the older model of Kent scraper - they fit with no problem and I have clean glass for the next week.
My only complaint with the new ones so far is that I wish the "mop" was a little wider than the housing it is in. It is still good at getting in the corners though.

Cool, I have a older handle here... Might scoop up the blades now.
