The joys of a Gutter Vac !!!
« on: September 15, 2015, 01:52:59 pm »
Customer forgot to leave lock off gate, so I used 5 tubes, and was doing quite nicely from outside the fence when this happened !
Had to get the ladders off, and retrieve the little monkey  ;D

Most carbon poles used for guttervac clearing are just tapper fit sections so not clamped at all which is a big design floor if you ask me unlike the clamped semi telescopic omni ali poles that have never come apart unexpectedly on me..

I suppose one way to help stop the carbon tappered sections coming apart whilst working is to temp gaffer tape the joins together
