Made from Aluminium. Ideal for picking up litter, cans, bottles, wastepaper etc. 2 metre long litterpicker, ideal for hard to reach areas, such as litter in trees, roofs, waterways etc. Manufactured from rigid 1" aluminium tube, which enables a reasonable weight of litter to be lifted even at 2.0 metre length without flexing. The operating mechanism is a direct aluminium plate connecting rod rather than a cable which means grip is real feel, unlike stetch with cable or cord. The operational lever is similar to squeezing a bicycle brake lever, therefore, ambidextrous, right or left handed, enabling the free hand to support the length of the litterpicker. Both pincers rotate to give equi-pressure on item being lifted for better grip and the design means that very accurate litter picking is achievable on very small pieces of litter. The shaft material is conductive therefore it should not be used near electrics or overhead cables
