Hey,

I have used them but only on the coruse I was on.... I think we used ones called paff bags or puff bags something like that. they where ok I Guess but they where pretty expensive at like £2k I think and you needed the right setup on the top of the scoffold..... but if the price is good then i guess it would be worth it allthough you could probally make your own as this is some chinese company I assume the quality will not be that good. I will stick to walking them up ladders for the moment though !

£35+VAT each. Been meaning to get one for the last 2 weeks but haven't got round to it yet. Will report back when I do if you like.

£35+VAT? Superb price. The price of the Paf bags put me off but this seems far more realistic.

Weren't they hundreds of £££'s only a few weeks back.



They're not the bag I was thinking of and appear to be similar to one with the UK patent.
