Hi guys,
Does anybody knows where I can order one of these extended arm tools to get the edge protector up on the drywall while standing on the ground.
I'm not talking about the senior gripping tool...lol Some guys do it the DIY style, but I'm lazy and rather order one.
I tried like an hour Google search to find one, but i guess i used the wrong search therm.
Thanks for any pointers.

Just get a tent pole that extends and make your own little thingie on the end. You can bend a small piece of metal into a little hook shape and duck tape to the end of the pole.

Two thin slats of wood duct tapped together a few inches from the end.

My bf made his with just a piece of pvc pipe with a slit cut in the end to hold the edge protector.
Freightlinerbob Thanks this. -
I did the same... pvc pipe with slit cut into the end

I got a 10' section of pvc. Cut that in a 6' and 4' section and a coupling to connect them when I need the 10'. Cheap and easy to stow.
Also, I use the pvc to help with bungees. Take the end of a bungee fold it an inch from the hook and but the bend into the pvc. Hook the bungee into a d ring on your tarp and pull the pole down. Bungee stays on the ring, hook the other end into the trailer. -
What diameter pvc pipe?

but mercer sells em in the company store, they are cheaper, if ya can pay by phone with a credit card, I bet they would sell ya one. call 1800 626 5375, when the lady answer , ask for the company store, and then tell em what ya want. I sure they could help. its much better than a pvc pipe" as if folds collapses to about 3 feet , and is good for far more than edge protectors . I love mine. you can pull straps thru, push traps thru, line straps up on top, use it lift tarps, roll out tarps, and even feed chains thru. much more useful than a pvc pipe with a slit.
pvc pipes are flimsy, get brittle after a while, and are a pain because they are so long. heres a pic of mine, and the link has one, I even went out in the dark to take a pic, collapsed it fit on the step of my t600
Germanudo Thanks this. -
