Should work on corners yes. But I don't need it for corners just straight runs. I have a roof ladder attachment also. So I'll put one section on the roof ladder format then tie this lower ladder off into it.
I have purchased a new JSP fall arrest harness and 3m shock absorbing lanyard which I'll attach to hooks I'll screw into the rafters temporarily. It's a 1.5 storey house so roof not that high and I've been up there loads since I was a teenager. But figured try to do it better, maybe still not fully compliant but better than some would do I guess.

The impact gun is good . on slow & low impact speed I managed to take apart 24 x 13mm well rusted nuts & bolts on a pair of old 20 foot long racking uprights with cross bracing struts . They have been left outside to rust for years .
Then I hit a snag ..... seven of these pairs of up rights wouldn't undo , I got my calipers out & measured them , Arrragh a precise 9/16 AF ....
14 mm hexagonal inpact socket does not fit.So off to the land of the singers , crisp eaters & beer swillers The usual suspect places local Wholesale Electricals , a local nuts & bolts factors , a local motor factors , Tool Station , B&Q & ScrewFix were " A no comprehende Mista ".
Did a long diversion into Swansea found Swansea fasteners thinking they might also do un-fasteners ... Yipee pristine precision 1/2" bi hex 9/16" Georde socket but no Impact ED's in imperial .
Plus they actually had a decent ROJ off set 9/16 , 8 inch long spanner in a sand blasted frosty finish so less prone to slipping if greasy and or wet .
Off to home I did caper, with tools in pocket , and receipt of paper .
Just about to get on the motorway and drive 23 miles home .. only see 22 miles in the can , Emergency pit stop at a MacDonald's in Swansea 150 yards ahead for a Big Mac & a drink and part charge , charging 60 more miles in the car while I ate it .
Got home and took a full set of up right /ends apart in a matter of minutes , then like a tit , I slipped on a nut hiding on the concrete as I stepped to my left side to start clearing things up and went apex over basement giving myself a few concrete rashes for free.
Moral of the story, just plug in the angle grinder next timeThe impact gun is good . on slow & low impact speed I managed to take apart 24 x 13mm well rusted nuts & bolts on a pair of old 20 foot long racking uprights with cross bracing struts . They have been left outside to rust for years .

They bolt heads are recessed, only a socket can reach them , getting an angle grinder to the underside of a lot of transom's would be impossible ,Moral of the story, just plug in the angle grinder next time
My Duggar Gun and off set long thin spanner was good , 24 rusty nuts & bolts in less than half an hour is most certainly the way for me to go . It took me over an hour using a T bar , socket or ratchet & spanner

Today I thought I'd do some drugs... 
Actually, I wanted one glass syringe and a fine needle to apply some solvent to a cracked perspex turntable cover.
This lot cost £15, which should last me for the rest of my life.

Looks like a standard Luer fitting on the end.You know one that size isn't a syringe don't you?

I have some similar glass ones. I quickly learned that solvent will wash away the lubrication, and without it, they will bind up solid, infact one I cant seem to re assemble even with oil.Today I thought I'd do some drugs...

The common HDPE ones with a rubber end, generally work for ok for solvents for short term use.
