Stand-Off Stabilizer

Awesome sturdy attachment for your extension ladder. Makes cleaning the gutters eaisr and safe. Now I'm able to just reach down into the gutters. Before I would have to have the ladder against the house and then had to reach over the eves and into the gutters. This never felt very safe and I was always reaching into the gutters blindly. Also, this makes getting on to and off the roof a breeze and also provides a way to do so safely. Materials are good quality, easy to put together and it only takes a minute to take it off, put back on or use on another extension ladder you may have. I would definitely recommend this as a must have for anyone who wants or needs to work up high around the house. This has provided me with more sturdy ladder setting / footing and does't slip or move making use of my ladder more safe and confident. Take it from someone who blessed to be alive where last year I was planning on doing work on the roof, gutters and eves.. I was cheap and at the time didn't want to spend the money something like this and a saftey harness and ropes. Well, after years of going up and down ladders, climbing trees and cutting branches while working around the house I fell 30+ feet. Broke 7 ribs, punctured both lungs, broke my pelvis, lacerated my liver and kidney as well as a head injury. I was in ICU for 8 days etc etc... my wife found me unresponsive... again, I'm blessed that she called 911 and didnt just sneak away thinking... hmm, insurance money, bereavement cruise... lol... Anyway, I recommend this and have recently got the courage to get back up on the ladder after no of course with saftey equipment but still much to the disapproval of my wife... I just like doing things myself.

Very stable, I feel safe when using them! excellent product

Parfait pour passer au dessus des gouttieres

I'm a handy guy, and I found the instructions to be a bit overly difficult to understand, considering how few actual parts there are. No, the product don't come assembled, you have to do that. Although, I did get it correctly assembled after some close reading, and re-reading of instructions. I have a large 'painters' ladder I wanted to use this with, it reaches the roof of the second story of my house, so it's a pretty good size. When I'm up on the second story doing whatever it is (cleaning leaves, I recently added more soffit vents to beef up attic ventilation which was inadequate) having the stabilizer really makes me feel far safer doing my tasks at hand. I've used ladders of all kinds throughout my life, and I feel pretty comfortable. But, it's a long fall from second story, and I wanted the added stability. Safety is darn important. Although I may complain about the instructions, i do like that the product is manufactured in USA. I also appreciate that it seems quite solid. The pictures are kind of deceiving if you ask me, in real life, it's much beefier than it looks in the pictures. It is worth mentioning that there is NO adjustment for the standoff from the house (or whatever you lay our ladder against). Some may view this as a negative, but for me this is a positive. I don't trust adjustable mechanisms with my safety. This is just solid metal, less to fail. Other products with adjustable standoff sometimes cite weak mechanisms and such in some reviews, so I avoided those products. My ladder has round 'rungs' - if you have large flat steps, this product will probably not fit! Read the product specs for maximum size of the steps. Lastly, if you have a very large eave (roof overhang) this may not be a big enough of a standoff to clean gutters easily. In my case, I have to rest the legs on the roof shingles, as otherwise I'm reaching wayyy back to try and reach in my guttters (really unsafe). So, keep that in mind. But this is about as big as they get anyway in terms of standoff distance. Overall, I'd very much reccomend this product.

Well designed and well made. Excellent product…but seriously over-priced!
