i'll do it i can and we do get space if you do have a scenario where you've got to uh blend within a ceiling just add a second clean shot yeah or you could you could save a bit of cash and have a clean shot but then you can have a swivel yeah the only difference with family swivels is they're not they're not very taut they have a tendency to to maybe drop a little bit yeah i think that's one of the biggest problems with you know a lot of painters out there own their own company buying tools it's hard for them to understand the value and buying tools and what happens is you know a tool is going to save you money typically within you know the first day and a lot of majority of tools that you'll purchase spend money on they're going to pay for themselves that same day and then after that day they're basically free and to me it's really it's a matter of investing in tools that's going to make you paint faster and more efficient and being faster and more efficient is ultimately going to make you money and give you a better finish and give you a better finish and i think it's about also buying the proper tools you know for your team if you're the owner to give you guys the ability to succeed so you want to give them tools that's going to help them succeed so give them the tools that will make the job easier and give them the better finish this is how i typically use a clean shot so ian does things differently than me and and a lot of painters do differently things than than i do we can only give you suggestions he gave you some suggestions of how to use it i typically just put it on the end of an extension like that and we'll spray gutters with them to eliminate spits on gutters i like it when i'm spraying the exterior of a house because they don't i can just change the angle and spray down the bottom like two feet of the house the footings and stuff without have to bend over i can turn it this way i can spray the tops of the window trim on the exterior house i used to climb up on a four foot ladder to do the tops of it now i don't have to i'll just mess with this get it the right angle and i can spray the tops of the windows and then i don't have to worry about really spits i'm really using it for like um as a gun swivel so versatility is crazy but it's extremely versatile i use it for a gun swivel but then i also use it for eliminating spits like on gutters on the exterior of the houses so you do use them inside and outside but once again you can see how i use…
