A duct obstruction removal device is disclosed for removing obstructions within a duct or pipe. The device comprises a first strut 11, a second strut 12 and a blade 40 rigidly coupled to first strut 11. The first and second struts 11,12 are pivotally coupled together at a coupling point 13 located between a first 41 and second end 42 of the blade 40, such that the blade 40 is arranged to extend to either side of the coupling point 13. The device further comprises an actuator 50 for reconfiguring the first and second struts 11, 12 between a first configuration in which the blade 40 is orientated to extend substantially along the duct, and a second configuration in which the blade 40 is orientated to extend across the duct, such that a second end 42 of the blade 40 can contact an interior of the duct.
