Zusammenfassung:A selectively flexible extension tool (100) includes: a line assembly (104) comprising a first line (118A) and a second line (118); and a plurality of sequentially arranged links (106), the line assembly (104) operable with the plurality of sequentially arranged links (106) to move the plurality of sequentially arranged links (106) between a slacked position and a tensioned position, the plurality of sequentially arranged links (106) together comprising a first line guide (160) and a second line guide (164), the first line (118A) of the line assembly (104) extending through the first line guide (160) and the second line (118) of the line assembly (104) extending through the second line guide (164); wherein the first line (118A) defines a first displacement when the plurality of sequentially arranged links (106) are moved from the slacked position to the tensioned position, wherein the second line (118) defines a second displacement when the plurality of sequentially arranged links (106) are moved from the slacked position to the tensioned position, and wherein the first displacement is substantially equal to the second displacement.
