Default Tunze Care Magnet Long - do you still like yours?

My Magfloat is starting to irritate me.
For those of you who own the Long scraper, let us know all your thoughts.
Please include how long you've owned your scraper, and what you either love and/or hate about it.
Plus, have you needed to purchase replacement parts.
Thanks all

Had mine a year, love it, works awesome, no parts bought yet. Works awesome on tough algae like coraline. No regrets for sure....

I love em with the metal blade. I've gone ahead and epoxied the plastic heads to the main bodies though. Losing those things into the rockwork when moving across panes gets old real quickly. I don't work with much acrylic, so the metal blades stay on exclusively.

Protip: I don't know when, but sometime in the last year, they started hiding the metal blade in the instruction manual. I've tossed out more than a few (I go through a lot of magnets) unwittingly.
