[TowerTalk] Father's Day gift ideas

[DavidC]

How about asking her to have the worm-gear puller-hoist
attached to the side of a gin-pole?

It sounds as though it might permit some 12' or less gin-pole 
related activities fine-tuned by the guy on the tower rather than
the more gross movements of someone pulling at the bottom.
