Climb Pro by Michigan Ladder 345720 Stand Off/Stabilizer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My ClimbTek 16' articulated ladder has more than met my needs around my single story ranch. I shopped for a very long time before making up my mind to buy the ClimbTek and my patience has been rewarded with a rugged and dependable tool.
I added the Stand Off/Stabilizer this past summer when the decision was made to stain the house. This simple, but well made, accessory really helped out a lot.
It can be attached to the ladder on any rung as a stand off, making it useful at either 8', 12' or fully extended at 16'. (That would be 6', 9' or 12' for the shorter ladder.)
Attached at the "top" of the ladder it provides a much wider footprint to stabilize the ladder in any of the scaffold configurations.
Two uses in one, easy on and off - and it cleans up as easily as the ladder at the end of the work day. My only change was to switch out the provided wingnuts with large (threaded) nobs.
I can't work wingnuts in gloves up here and my ClimbTek is an around the year tool!

ProVisionTools APVT PiViT Ladder Leveling Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tool is a godsend! Essentially, it widens a stair so you can put an extension ladder or unopened stepladder on it. When you're up on the ladder, it feels like it's sitting on the ground. Even though you may only need it for one or two minutes on a job, and even then only occasionally, it's worth the investment.
I felt completely comfortable on the ladder as I reached a spot that was difficult to paint. I could certainly have reached the spot with an extension for the roller, but but for precision work I needed to be up close. I've also used it to make it easier to change hard-to-reach light bulbs over the stairs.
I've lent the Pivit out to several friends already, and they all love it.

Plastic Sleeves Enhance ComfortThe ResQLadder with Sleeves features a durable plastic encasing over its chains, a system that helps the user achieve a comfortable grip. These sleeves are the perfect feature for children, as well as anyone who may be more sensitive to handling bare chains.

Deploys Quickly and EasilyBecause it's parachute-loaded at the factory, the ResQLadder with Sleeves arrives ready for use in the event of an emergency. It deploys quickly from its corrugated storage case, and it easily hooks over any standard window sill.

Customizable Standoffs for StabilityThe ResQLadder with Sleeves arrives with both pre-installed standoffs and additional customizable standoffs. For special wall conditions, like a lower glass window or an obstruction beneath the exit window, the additional standoffs can be specially placed for increased stability. To install standoffs, just hang your ladder out the window and select the best rung for installation, avoiding windows and other obstructions. Take down the ladder and install the standoffs with the screws provided.

The ResQLadder with Sleeves is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For years I've had no choice but to rest my extension ladder against the gutters in order to clean them out. This certainly hasn't been very kind to the gutters themselves; but more importantly, I've always feared that the ladder could slip and I would fall to the ground with it. And that hasn't been a very comforting thought.
Last November I hired someone to clean the leaves from the gutters that had accumulated in them when they fell from the trees. I watched him and saw that he had some sort of ladder stabilizer that provided him with real stability. Until then I didn't know such things existed. This spring -- after a horrible windstorm that blew all the maple trees' 'polly noses' into the gutters and clogged them horrendously (particularly after they started to sprout), I went to my local Home Depot where I bought a Werner stabilizer. I attached it to my ladder and gave it a test run. I immediately found out that it was useless for my purposes because the arms were not deep enough to touch the roof, and the ladder still rested on the gutter. I took it back to Home Depot.
I then began my on-line research. I finally boiled it down to two options: (1) the Louisville Ladder Adjustable Ladder Stabilizer; and, (2) the Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer. I liked the adjustability concept of the Louisville Ladder stabilizer, and I also liked the idea of free shipping, but I could not find anything on line that would show me how it attached to the ladder, and/or how it came off the ladder. To me that was of critical importance because I would only be attaching the stabilizer when I needed to use the ladder, and would then remove the stabilizer when I had finished. I was afraid that if there wasn't something that showed how easily it went on and off the ladder that it probably wasn't too easy. I contacted Louisville Ladder and they finally sent me the instructions. As I suspected, mounting and unmounting their stabilizer necessitated the use of tools for each procedure.
The Ladder-Max web site, however shows exactly how their stabilizer attached to and came off the ladder. It looked easy and it is!
I bought the Ladder-Max stabilizer.
It's a bit tricky to assemble, but once assembled it attaches to the ladder in seconds. And it comes off just as easily. No tools required!
I used it for the first time the other day and it's a pleasure. The arms are long enough to rest on the roof and the bumpers on the end of the arms seem well designed and did no damage to my asphalt shingles. For the first time ever (and I've been a home owner for 42 years) I felt secure while cleaning my gutters.
There's no question that with any stabilizer attached to one's ladder makes moving the ladder a bit more problematic, but the rock-solid feel while up on the ladder with the Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer outweighs any such concern for me. And my wife is happy that I'm not likely to fall.

Cosco 20-502ABL Signature Series Premium 5-Foot Aluminum Step Ladder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ladder was a very good purchase, lightweight & easy to use. Arrived in a few days.
However, packaging/shipping was terrible, stuffed with brown packing paper & inside a box that looked like my 5 year old assembled it. The ladder came with a deep gouge on the very top. Also came with a dent on one leg & a leg that was bent at the bottom.
