Ames Skyswiper.


Has anybody used one of these, and if so, does it work?

Re: Ames Skyswiper.


I looked at a vid with it being used on a wall...seems OK, but I would like to know how messy they are when used overhead.

Only seen the video. Looks like it is great for standups.

I think it is a good idea. It cuts out the third guy on stilts.
The guy who made it was from NYC. He sold the idea it to ames for $700k.
Nice

Thanks. Have emailed Ames to see where to get one. Need to find somewhere that ships to the UK.
