42" UNIVERSAL DRAPERY PULL ROD BY JUMBL

Very well made. Just the right amount of weight to do the job, but not too heavy to lift. Looks good hanging from the rod when not in use. I like the transportability of this device from one room to another so I do not have to purchase one for each window. I have used other devices to open my drapes, but this is perfectly designed for the purpose. I can easily slide grommet drapes over a sliding rod, even over the place where the two rods intersect. For the first time since I bought them, I can slide my clip-ring curtains over the rod to open and close them without climbing on a stool. The rod works well to even the folds in drapes. I didn't know how much I needed this item until I got it. It would make a great gift for anyone else with grommet-top curtains, especially ones that have furniture in front of them, so that one cannot easily reach the rods to open the drapes.

This works really well for closing my blackout curtains with grommets on top. It is easy to hook a grommet and pull the curtain along the rod and is long enough to reach where I otherwise could not get to. It is true that the connection between the parts comes unscrewed in time, but so far this has not annoyed me enough to get out the glue and make a permanent fix. I am sure just a dab of glue on the parts before screwing together would cure this. Wish it were white as then it would blend better into the window frame when I hang it on the rod in the middle - but this is in a home office and the black is not a big deal there. If it were I could hang it behind the curtain on the inside of the rod. It is a sturdy metal so I am sure this will last longer than the curtains.

It looks nice, but is a little wiggly in the middle at the join. It does the job and was fairly inexpensive.

So much easier to move the curtains now! Standing on the couch or moving the bottom of the curtain -- or should I say "fighting" with the bottom of the curtain to move the top while it snags every couple of inches -- is WAY better. I was getting very stressed out prior to getting this. Thank you for helping to bring light back in my life! Great material, easy to use.

Terrible waste of money

Definitely measure the length you need to stand and open your curtains from wherever you stand to open them and how far up they are on the wall. Additionally measure the circumference of the curtain rod and compare it to the opening of the "hook" on this rod. The pull is too short for my needs. And the hook is not wide enough for the curtain rod. It is definitely quality metal. However, you screw one end in the other and I find that such assemblies are always coming unscrewed. It is quite heavy and sturdy. Again quality made. It just didn't meet my needs. I guess I will have to try the tape method where you put tape on the top of the rod for the rings to slide over and not gets stuck on the sectional parts of the telescoping rods that I use.

I just purchased two of these. I have grommet top curtains on most of my windows. I read the reviews before buying and the recurring theme seemed to be a complaint that the wand would come unscrewed in the middle. (To assemble, you have to screw it together.) I can see how it would tend to loosen up. Put Lock-Tite on the threads!!! I did that immediately and no issues at all. I have one inch rods so the hook does not fit over that, but it can be hooked into a grommet to push or pull the curtain. I can even just put the hook between the folds and push them. It also works really good for adjusting the folds so they look good when the curtains are closed. For storage the hook fits easily over the finial close to the rod so that is where I store them. Someone suggested keeping it on the window sill behind the curtains. That would work too. The wand was easy for me to use right away but my husband had to practice a little. Anyplace the grommets want to hang on the rod ridge, it's easy to use the hook to kind of lift it over. I like this a lot. I am sure it will save wear and tear and greasy paw prints on my curtains.

This is a pretty simple item, but works exactly as described. The main reason I bought this one is that it has an open C ring that slips over the curtain rod (up to about 3/4" diameter) rather than having a closed ring that needs to be slipped onto the end of the rod. The other advantage this provides is that you aren't stuck at any particular part of the curtain, but can slide the curtain from anywhere this can slip in. I used a dab of JB weld to secure the two metal parts of the rod permanently together. Sturdily made.

Wife and I both love the blackout blinds and how dark the room has become. Now if the dog would only get a watch and sleep in LOL

Looks amazing!

Good rod, good length and quality.

Its fit really well and im happy about that

It came 5 minutes ago and it works well. Only criticism concerned the threads which strangely for a mechanical background I have were difficult to engage at first - the old dodge of going backwards, anti clockwise first, eventually found the right access point for them. Thanks people.
