can it also be used when it is retracted, or would that throw something off?

Works fine, if you're receiving. But transmitting could be an issue as you are effectively changing the SWR when the antenna is fully retracted. You could damage your transmitter.

A couple of specs of any powder just get away from you, it's just the way it is. The answer is no. It's not going to bounce out as long as you hold it close to powder thrower, 1" or so. Just don't hold it far away or any powder with any devise will spill out more then you want.

It would likely come off, but anything that pulls a vacuum the way this one does would likely damage the finish from the force exerted.

Considering this product does not work correctly as intended, it wouldn't expect it to be effective, especially upside down. Also, putting a solid object of non-standard shape would most likely be very problematic.

i'm sure you can take the blade off and turn it around. if the blade will not come off you would have to reverse the motor.

DO NOT PULL IT OUT ALL THE WAY. The retraction will break and it won't go back in. This faucet broke the second time I retracted it.

It isn't designed to come off but I guess you could cut it off. I haven't had a problem with mine at all.

It is supposed to release automatically. When it starts hanging on, you might as well toss it.

Yes. That is the 1st thing I did. Used it without having to remove object, thus didn't have to find a way to secure it to sand off approx 1/8". Just remember to take your time & not to try to sand too much too fast. Juri

Yes, I have used it on everything from a tennis ball to an automobile, but the object must be travleling directly towards or directly away from the gun.

Yes! Absolutely!! You can remove it & put it back on whenever you need it :-)

Retracted right away, but the retraction is not the best. Already messing up a bit and only used a few times.

In the retracted position is performs like a rubber duckie antenna. It will work but range will be decreased.

You pinch the sides and pull it may not come off easy! Be careful not to break it!

It may not allow you to release the slide by pulling it back. You have to use the slide release

Yes, but it will break off if it hits something so I take it off when I travel

It has a position that locks out the retract mode and then you have to reposition it to get it back into the retract mode. Hope this helps.
