Easier Way To Drill Into Ceilings
You can easily and safely drill holes into ceilings or trusses while standing on the floor with this new KwikPole invented by Reed Felton.
  “It’s much safer to use than a ladder or loader bucket. Works great for attaching fasteners such as clevis hangers or lag screws that can be used to hang pipes or electrical conduit, etc.,” says Felton.
  The company offers 2 sizes of KwikPoles – one reaches 12 ft. high and the other 16 ft. “Both poles are made of high tolerance, anodized pneumatic cylinder tubing inside a carbon fiber outer pole. This combination of high quality materials allows you to telescope the pole to its limit without having excessive waggle due to sloppy fitting parts,” says Felton. “Both poles have a solid aluminum collar that houses a spring-loaded, 3/8-in. dia metal pin, allowing the pole to be extended in 6-in. increments. Since the pole’s position is held by the solid 3/8-in. metal pin, the poles can be used as drill extensions in applications where high torque is needed.”
  The company even offers a KwikPole drill press. It’s designed to drill holes into a concrete or metal ceiling and can be equipped with either a standard cordless drill or an SDS+ drill. Once the pole is set into place, a lever pushes the drill upward like a press.
  The short KwikPole sells for $525 plus S&H, the long KwikPole sells for $625, and the KwikPole drill press sells for $825.
