Dose anyone have any ideas if I can get a fruit picker and a pruning saw attachments to fit on a screw top painting pole.
I've had a look on the net at the telescopic poles with multi headed tool things that include the fruit picker and saw but they are around £55-60 mark. +extra delivery charges for living on an island :thumbsup: :-J .
I'm quite happy to resort to duck tape if I have to :roflanim: .
Which fruit picker would you recommend, there seems to be lots of different ones.
Thanks for your help.

That was no doubt the one that you had already seen! What about making one with bent coathanger and some material or net?
