Many reviews say this shorty barlow was one of the best. I'm not disappointed. I use this with high end eyepieces and don't feel like I'm missing anything in the quality department.

Barlow lenses offer an easy, economical way to increase the magnification range of your eyepieces, and Celestron carries an assortment of these highly useful lenses. A Barlow lens doubles the magnifying power of your eyepiece by doubling its effective focal length. For example, an 18mm eyepiece used with a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece. It's like having two eyepieces in one!
If you're looking for an affordable way to achieve high-power viewing of the moon and planets, double stars and even close-up views of terrestrial subjects, a Barlow lens is the answer.
Barlow lenses mount into either your telescope's focuser or visual back.
The .96" Economy model is a good choice when you want to expand your power ranges at a very economical price.
Celestron's premium quality 1¼" achromatic Barlow lenses (#93507) are compact and lightweight. It is under three inches long, weighing in at 4 ounces.
The Ultima Series Barlow (2x - 1¼") is an air-spaced, three element apochromatic design with a 27mm clear aperture. This lens features a very high quality, fully multicoated design. Amazingly compact and lightweight, it's just 5 ounces and 2.75" in length.
