Title: Vacuum Pole Hand Grip Attachment
Post by: H MAN on May 15, 2020, 01:56:02 am
Made this January 2011
This was originally meant to be used as a WFP handle attachment but didn't work out .
But it might work better when on a vacuum pole which is hard to hold onto when using.
What do you think??

That would actually give you far less control on a gutter vac pole. And who would want to jubilee clip it to a carbon fibre pole..Do they have carbon fibre in Australia yet?

Yes like when some people introduced Water Fed Poles.
People were saying this as well.
Too  embarrassed to use them.
But now there great.
And the above was only one of few we have done over the past 9 years.
 Few manufactures have done there versions also based on these.
All was asking is that do you think it could be adapted to use on a pole that used for gutter cleaning.
As noticed that see people using them awkwardly.

Regarding Water Fed Poles
The fact is that WFPs have been around since the 1950s.
And it was not well accepted in the UK  little bit in the 1990s
Check it out below History of the WFP.
Everything started somewhere.

Having been using a gutter vac for over 15 years I haven’t yet had a problem holding the pole , it’s nit difficult, by adding your “ invention” it would make it awkward

Why don't you talk to the people that you saw using their poles 'awkwardly' and offer them to try your invention?
