Not every retrieval job should end with a shovel.
The Boldan PipeCatcher is an air-driven tool designed to retrieve dropped tools and remove rocks, roots and other obstructions from inside a pipe, helping avoid unnecessary excavation and demolition.
Rotate the push hose to position it, then use the air valve to close and release the claws. It comes with three claw sets with the smallest suitable for DN70 / 3-inch pipes and bends of up to 45 degrees.
It may be compact, but with a lifting capacity of more than 100 kg, it’s damn capable. Five and ten-metre push hoses are available separately and can be connected when extra reach is needed.
Made in Finland, used around the world by plumbers, reliners and maintenance crews dealing with problems that are difficult to reach and far too costly to dig up.
This is essential gear. On the right job, it could save you thousands.
