Elder 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 I plan to start putting out some more signs in the near future and am looking for some advice. I found what looks to be a very cool product online at SignHammer.com that I believe I'll try out. The main problem I had when previously hanging signs was that I had trouble getting them high enough without using a ladder. The product on the website above claims to solve just that problem. Do any of you have other favorite methods for quickly hanging signs up high where they'll (hopefully) stay for awhile? Thanks. Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 Greetings, Elder, and welcome to The Naked Investor. We're glad you found us and I'm sure you'll make yourself right at home, and quickly.That link is interesting. I'm not familiar with the product, so I can't give it either a thumbs up or thumbs down. Perhaps someone else with some personal experience will come along and let us know.And you're correct about getting those bandit signs up high. Out of the reach of lil' hands will go a long way towards a lengthy life. Other than that nifty new product, a ladder, or a very tall friend, I don't know how else one gets a sign eight or nine feet up a pole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elder 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks Michael. Yeah, I can attest to the need to get the signs high. I put up a bunch of signs "head high" and saw them disappear practically overnight. The signs I put up using a ladder have stayed much longer. My problem is the ladder though. What a pain it is to drag in and out of the car! I'll definitely let you guys know what my experiences are with the SignHammer once it gets here. I expect to have it in hand by the end of the week.

Hey Mike....could ya change that lil phrase under my avatar to somethin nifty?Hmm......I see you retired from the SuperHero business and hung up your cape, eh Superman? 'sup wit dat? :ph34r: In the meantime, yes, your title needs to be changed. Suggestions, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason (AL) 1 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 And what might the first 278 be?? -- chicks dig it. Currently, yes...the superman avatar is chillin in the closet.I wanted to go with more of a real estate-type feel with it. I'm a lil goofy with my sense of humor at times(well, MOST of the time)....that would explain the superman av.I figured if I posted a "serious" post concerning this great biz and someone were to gander over at that impressive picture (of the superman), they might have 2nd feelings about me and my words. ....but he still lurks...don't you worry. Thanks, Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 So this is the new and improved, mature and serious Jason that we all now know and love. Gotcha......In the meantime, I still need to come up with a witty title for your new image. I'm working on it, and I'm also open to suggestions, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason (AL) 1 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Heh.... My sense of humor is still gonna come out, no matter how serious I try to be.Who knows, I may go back to the suit & cape. :ph34r: As I try to come up with something witty, could you somehow make that wad of cash flip in my avatar?It was supposed to, until I had to re-fit it so it could fit for the site. Until then......thinking.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I wouldn't worry too much about being taken seriously, Jason. I mean, you'll be judged on what you write and contribute, as opposed to your avatar. Look at me, for example. I'm going off on tangents about the pleasures of lasagne. I think someone here is taking me seriously on occasion .As I try to come up with something witty, could you somehow make that wad of cash flip in my avatar?Sure, I'd love to. How???? Be darned if I know how to do cool things like that.Until then......thinking..........Me too......hmmm......how 'bout Seriously Tall.........Dixie Dealer......I Pity The Fool......

jmccade 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 I wouldnt waste $30 on the sign hammer. You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and get you some PVC pipe and elbows and caps and make your own for around $10. Its a good idea though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest_kennon Report post Posted May 27, 2004 I found a device called ( I believe) a grabber. It looks like rubber claws. It is about 3 feet long. I use it to grab my sign by the bottom and put it up 3 feet higher than me on my tip toes on the telephone poll. I also use a modified staple hammer. With the use of a 3 foot pipe and some duct tape. It is easy to use and I can put my signs up higher than me on my tip toes. I can get signs up around 9 feet on the telephone polls. kennon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
