(Searched, couldn't find it)Some time back I saw a note about a homemade "tool" to open/close ceiling vents without climbing a ladder. Can anyone point me to it?

So far no joy searching for this. Perhaps some further detail would help.Not sure which vents we're talking about.. I know I don't need a ladder to open my fantastic bedroom fan!

Here is what I usehttp://www.amazon.com/Barker-29070-Vent-Stick

Not sure what you have but maybe a piece of PVC pipe with a notched end?

I remember seeing something about one. A guy took and notched a piece of PVC pipe to match the knob of the vent then added a smaller diameter section of pipe as a handle.

here you goBarker vent stick and Knobextra knobs available in (2) packdid not know what the OP was talking about, until i looked it upclimb a ladder to open vent ?if he had said use a step stooli would have caught on quickeri'm only 5'6" and i can reach mine ok

That'll work! Don't know why I always have to over-engineer everything.

Found 10-minute Tech at the site, no 60-second, but plowing thru couple dozen pages of tech tips didn't see anything to help.

I taped a putty knife on the end of a 3' stick. I can open, close and turn the vent with no problem. Cheap but effective.

Someone had a picture a few days ago of a piece of wood with nails in it on the end of a stick.

On second though that was for an awning knob.
