This is my second purchase of this wand, it is longer. [SEP] This is the second one of these I have owned.  The first one was awesome, I have longer hair and this is a time saver.  It fell on ceramic tile and broke the handle, inwas afraid to use after that, I tossed it.  That was a mistake, I could have used parts.  This new one I used today fkr thenfirst time, it looks the same however it doesn't clamp as well.  I tried tightening it up but it still isn't twell enough my hair will slide from under the clamp, I am going to invite the seller to send me a new spring to fix it, if they decline I will request a refund or replacement.
