Rating: - Good, Basic Flagpole
This is a good, basic flagpole, designed to fit into a standard 1" bracket. I'm using it with the "Valley Forge 60753 1" Flag Bracket", also sold by Flags Unlimited. Note this pole is white, so if you're using it as a companion to the company's "Spinning Flagpole 3x5 U.S. USA American Flag Kit", which has a silver pole, you'll have a slight mismatch.
One reviewer said he needed a zip tie to attach the bottom grommet for his flag. Errr, not exactly - the problem is, there are no instructions included (who needs instructions for a flagpole, right??), but the flag attachment isn't intuitively obvious. There are two plastic rings, each with a plastic screw that tightens the ring to the pole. You have to completely remove the screw, insert it through the grommet, and then screw it back into the ring. Like I said, it's not obvious, and the flag hangs a little funny that way. But only if you look reeeaaaallll close. Basically, it works fine once you figure out the trick. And it is indeed tangle-free, just as advertised.
I'm giving this 4-stars because the rings and screws are just plastic, and in time will break, in which case you *will* be needing those zip ties after all.
Rating:  - The BEST flagpole
Here is a brilliant idea. A flagpole that freely rotates prohibiting the flag from wrapping around the pole. I've bought "other" brands but this is, by far, the best!
Rating: - True tangle-free flagpole
This pole prevents tangles even with my very light weight flags that used to wrap around other types of 'tangle-free' poles. I have been very pleased with this flagpole and have purchased 3 of them.

The very best you can find, anywhere. No tangles since I installed it. Over a month.
