New STEIN MR100 Mini-Reach Tool

[Nigel]

The STEIN MR100 Mini-Reach retriever is an ingenious tool designed to assist tree climbers in retrieving climbing or rigging lines which are just out of reach.

The Mini-Reach quickly extends to 1m in length and collapses to just 18cm. At just 90gms in weight, the same weight as a karabiner it can easily be attached to your harness by means of a tool clip.

Available from all good Arborist Supply Retailers

SRP £12.50 plus vat

I need that in my life, or a groundie who can flick lowering lines back to me better

[easy-lift guy]

It must have been that fine print I did not notice. It is telescopic helps even more when watching the video.

I have been looking at boat hooks and fishing gaffs for just this need. Stein have kindly manufactured one. I will probably by one but I would like to inspect one first. Has anyone got one yet? Is it more robust than a telescopic aerial with a cup hook attached to the end?

I made a similar thing last year out of a camera mono pod rest,telescopic to 2m when extended,was excellent to use but kept modifying the hook as it caught on everything.very useful for reaching ropes and for placing them over a particular branch where growth prevented an easy throw.Has several uses. 1m is not much use though,needs to be 2m really.stein do one at 2m for about £34 I think. well worth having one to save time and make things much easier all round,really useful.

thats stupid as, good one is ten ft (the Retreever) otherwise your just using a stick to switch channels on the telly. (that guy in the video looks like hes bed ridden!!) go hard or go home

yeah, insulting highly respected members of the arb community is always a good way to make friends round here.
