Needed one to do some fascia board peaks. Picked this up on line for
35.50 (price when called order in) + $8 shipping UPS. They shipped the
day I ordered and had it in 2 days. Thing that attracted me to this
one was that depth is adjustable from 13-25".

Never had one of these. Worth every penny. All the times/years of
trying to work directly above my head while ****ting pants.

Actual pic of unit in use. Set about half way depth.

This cool season we will fix/prep/prime/paint our fascia boards. I
found this tool*. Dang, I won't stand on a ladder for a long time.

For me this may be a perfect tool on top-a-ladder. Reports pending..

Just looks like another sanding gimmick to me where all the minuses are
learned with use. Will be interested in your actual usage report.


It could be a gimmick, but I kind of doubt it. I looked at it last
year and thought it was a DeWalt. Went back today and found it was a
Wagner unit.

What I want to do, it is reasonable. I can always sell it on
Craigslist, new, once removed. Or next month in a yard sell.

Still I like your idea of ladder support.

The guy in the vid (actor representing owner I assume) deserves the
misery he's having for letting that house go so long. Point of pure
neglect.


Plenty of houses now days need fixin'.
