This design ensures straight, uniform lines with professional results.
Signs that your top gun pole needs replacement include: visible bending or damage that affects gun alignment, difficulty maintaining consistent line width, wobbling during operation, worn or stripped height adjustment threads, or corrosion that compromises structural integrity. Regular inspection before each use helps identify issues early.
