Boy becomes spiderman

A boy has fulfilled his dream of being Spiderman by creating a gadget to help him scale the walls of his school...Hibiki Kono, 13, (PICTURED) who is a big fan of the superhero, made the incredible climbing machine using the suction from two Tesco Value vacuum cleaners...The schoolboy then amazed his friends by using the giant suckerpads to climb the school wall during morning assembly..."I used to dress up as Spiderman when I was younger and I love all the films so it's great to be able to climb walls like him," said Hibiki...Hibiki spent five months designing and making the gadget in his design technology lessons at King's College School in Cambridge...He used two 1400 watt vacuum cleaners, bought for just £14.98 each from Tesco and attached square wooden pads to the nozzles...When he presses the suction pads on the wall they support his weight and enable him to climb just like his favourite superhero...SEE COPY CATCHLINE Boy becomes spiderman.
