I had the original that was 20yrs old or so and it worked really great. Got this one and right away saw it was around 3/4 the size of my old one. To be honest,  the old one was pretty big and heavy and hard on the wrist, so I was not really concerned of the smaller size. I use this on a 1997 F350 truck, so the truck is old now, go to use it for the first time, and I get 10,000 pieces of red fibers that fall off the duster all over the truck, so I figure the truck paint is too far gone for the duster, even though the old one worked really good even after 20yrs. Next I try it on
