I too have a Werner ladder and never feel comfortable each time I use it. My
main worry is the ladder mover sideways, if the ground is not even and even if
the ground is even, it will move sideway if I try to out stretch on either side
of the ladder. Last year as I watched my contractor repaired the roof, gutters
and paints the exterior of the house, I am convinced so I bought a Werner's
ladder stabilizes. There are two types available, one more expensive quick
removable type and the cheaper one bolt on, which I paid about $21 at HD.
I believe the $21 was well spend and a cheap insurance against permanent
disables.
Hi,
Regarding those "Ladder Stabilizers" for extension ladders that
I've seen in the Hardware stores and also at Home Depot:
Sounds like a good idea.
Is it ?
Any caveats or gotchas when using ?
Also, is there one brand or type that is "better" than the others ?
Have a 16' Werner, and even at that relatively low height, it gets a bit
scarry and
wobbly up there.
Thanks,
Bob
