Pool Skimmer Basket Tool

After starting to close my pool for the winter, I realized just how gross my pool was. I opened the filter to clean out the skimmer and realized I really didn't want to put my hand in the water! I went by my local pool shop to see what was available and saw this nifty tool to help get the skimmer basket out. I noticed the price and thought not a chance, I can make that! I made this for a my A1 Mini, hence the reason it's in 3 parts. This measures 12.5" (just under 32cm) after it's fully assembled. It should be long enough so you don't have to stick your hand in any nasty water! I used 2 M3x20 screws (can be button head, I just had socket heads laying around), 4 M3 washers, 2 M3 locking washers, and 2 M3 nuts for assembly. I would recommend stainless steel so they don't rust and corrode.
