5 pounds of sand that is.. Seriously if anyone could find this I would be very grateful.

Basically im in need of a sucker type product ie something which could be used to climb a metal wall or windows and preferably have a metre long pole attached to it.

There is litterally zero information on the web and I dont know what I should search for. thank you thank you
 
what do you mean by the pole part like a plumbing plunger with a meter long broom handle stuck on it coming out at 90 degrees from the wall, or a plunger with a hinge then the handle lying parallel to the wall?

how much weight does it need to support and if that pole is horizontal that's going to be a lot of leverage prying it off the wall.

but it wont be holding a person, itll be holding a flag so would need a pole attached.

what i mean is will the pole be sticking pout perpendicular to the wall with a weight on it?

because that's going to pry the thing off with a lot more force than say a human just hanging off it.

the triple/triangle one Hotwired posted would be good as it would stop it tilting it and breaking the seal.

I expect you mean things like these glass/sheet metal handling suckers except specially adapted for humans to use to climb up walls:

Apparently one person at least has used suction cups to climb a shiny windowed skyscraper in America.
