Crevice tools for vacs??

Anyone ever used a crevice tool for their vacs when getting in the tight spaces around the seats etc?

Seen one like this

Just wondered if anyone had used one and if they are a waste of money or not? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Funnily enough just got one like that for my little dyson this week ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00085EDPU/ref=..._M3T1_dp_1 )

Not thin enough to get in all the nooks and crannies but notably increases where I can vacuum. FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

It's been delivered to work so I will try it on the works Henry first, if it knackers the Henry I'll know not to use it with my dyson! Whistle Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Crevice tool arrived today at work. It was banana shaped from being in an envelope. Once it warmed up it straightend out. Ive tried it and for 6 quid its ok, can reach a few nooks and crannies with it, its slimmer than my dyson nozzle which is good. Only downside is that on the side of the tip is a large hole so when the vac is on its sucking air through two holes. I don't know why there is a hole on the side of it but once taped up the tool was pretty good at picking bits up.

For 6 quid its a cheap useful tool to have for vaccing. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

For some reason of absolute design insanity, my Panasonic crevice tool also has an additional hole (albeit at the top approx. 3" from the nozzle tip). If anyone who has a kinky interest in vacuum cleaners is reading this and can enlighten both me and the OP as to why these cavities are here, please share. It seems absolutely insane to me, and I can only think that it's something to do with the despised H&S should a toddler put it in his/her mouth whilst it's powered on, thus allowing them to breathe a little. Foraging near Gaydon....

The hole is to stop the motor burning out.
