Retriever - Cheap & cheerful homebrew!

I quite fancied one of those telescopic Stein retriever thingummies but to be honest I thought it a bit rich for me.

So, being a resourceful sort and having a shedfull of junk I decided to fashion one for myself.

 

It's a short telescopic paint roller handle from Travis Perkins which I straightened out a bit, cut a bit off, bent some more and then buffed the tip smooth with the Dremel. Length of accesory cord & a Stein tool clip in the other end et voila!

 

540mm long closed, extends to 920mm. Handle & pole are aluminium & hook end / 2nd stage extension is stainless.

 

Not perfect but I'm sure it will be just super for what I want!
