How are you guys saving so much room? Are you jamming it under a shelf or something? I see how collapsing it saves vertical space but if you dont have something stacking above it what are u saving?
For me it just lowers its center of gravity and doesn't flop around so much. It's not so much saving much space.

The Compact 47 in my Ford is cavernous!

I'm not seeing the advantage to shrinking it down every time. I feel like it would still fit just as well fully extended since there is nothing directly above it. Mine personally sits right inside my rear doors but I dont have anything above it so I just leave it fully extended.

Do you strap it to the wall or something to keep it from falling over?

I like to hang the power cord on the handle and it makes it every more top heavy.

That clear tube looks like it's about to shatter
Good eye.

It definitely is. I mentioned it somewhere on here last night. This one has had a couple months use, my 360i is 3 years old, many hundreds of jobs.

Not one crack.

It's a part that will cost me just a couple bucks to fix so no big deal. But the more I work this craft the more I'm craving something with a little better build quality.

Dat handle assembly...

I agree with the placement of the knobs, not that I have one but I am always tearing fingernails or scraping up my hands, sticking them where they don't fit. (no not there Nate) Fingers are not as agile as they used to be.
