I like to paint large and so I often use wahl sticks. I have several sizes with the usual soft fabric ball on one end. However, I saw many years ago a design that uses a hook instead of a ball. I copied the idea using a sheet of aluminium and it works very well. In fact, it has become my favourite wahl stick.
The hook is long enough to bridge across any chassis frame I may use. The hook stops the wahl stick from falling out of my hands, and makes a good anchor, along the top edge of a painting, to stop sliding from side to side. The stick is long enough to lean across the base board of my easel - not touching the paint surface if I let go of it.
