Well Mk2 is complete a bit OTT the boss said but after lots of testing also removing and adding bits, it now works a treat, I don't think its too good on the harris pole on full extent, I then stuck it onto my XTel and that was the Biz.
I had this idea when on a guttering Job last week were I had 3 Tennis Ball's in the guttering and I had to resort to Ladders (YUK!) to remove them.
My business is now completely ladder free, so the Mk1 will be used for a general clean before the lance goes up and the Mk2 will be used to remove any foreign objects that I see up there, Just another tool to my collection.
The Tongs are operated by pulling the piano wire, you can see 2 black things, these are set to around bungalow Height and house Height, the third silver one, I hope to set for 3 story Height.
The pressure is set by the wing nut against a spring and the spring also serves to open up the tongs when I release the wire.
The tongs them self's are made out of that non-slip aluminum flooring so they have excellent grip.
