Boathook bailer, the sequel
I’m a little concerned that readers who ordered the nifty Bridgenorth Bailer I touted a couple of weeks ago may not have gotten prompt service from the site listed. It turns out that boathookbailer.com is actually a U.S. distributer (there’s good news in this: the deal does include free shipping in the U.S.). At any rate, if you have any problems, here’s the Canadian manufacturer’s site, bridgenorthbailer.com, which is still somewhat under construction but has solid e-mail and toll free phone info, plus more dope on the product (including the compelling photo illustration above).
I purchases the boathook bailer in the US. It took a followup email but I received it and it’s very cool. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t lock in the closed position so unless you use it fully extended it tends to open unexpectedly on you.
