I used a 22” multi position ladder and it was very wobbly when fully extended and at the top, how stable is this ladder when fully extended? I would need to use it fully extended and I’m not the biggest fan of heights 😂
Only if you are climbing onto the actual roof. If he’s just clearing the gutters above his shoulders and still on the ladder it won’t make much difference imo.
I went with a two section 28' to reach the top of my two story home. Easier to get on and off the roof if need be. You should extend the ladder 4-5 rungs above gutters if getting on the roof. Use a harness and rope as well.
@@dial2fast wow ok. Mine is just over 20' but I was concerned because it days the max reach is 23' but I didn't know if that was taking into account a 75 degree angle
why does the stabilizer say on the store pages not for use on type2 and type 3 ladders? it doesnt explain why anywhere. it actually says right on the stabilizer box in your video the small print in the middle because iw as going to buy one and noticed that writing and it threw me off
With the stabilizer on the roof does it keep the ladder itself from resting on the roof ? I need to do some gutter repair and can't have it touching the gutter.
Just had my roof and gutters replaced. I asked the gutter guy about resting a ladder against the gutters and he recommended this exact stabilizer from Home Depot. The reasons are to avoid squeezing the gutter and more important, stopping the ladder from sliding sideways on the gutter.
Are you able to install the stabilizer on the ladder, a couple rungs lower, so you have the recommended 3ft ladder height above the roofline? (If your going to get on the roof?)
Most of the 20'+ ladders I've used have a rope to lift the extension up. With this one, you have to lift the first section, then lift the second & first sections up by hand. Is that difficult, while holding the ladder upright? Just wondering how unwieldy this is, whether I should look at a 2 section 24' or a 3 section like this. The 3 section is appealing, if it isn't too unwieldy. Thanks for the review.
I've had mine for over a year and I am a full time roofer and I LOVE it.. It operates, just as you said, like a boom, one section at a time, and it is easy to handle by myself up and down, and it's very strong when set up all the way.. I use it DAILY!! I would recommend it.. GREAT ladder..
Thanks for the review. The set up seems slightly more work vs. a 2-section ladder. It would have been nice to show how to collapse this ladder once you have it set up. At the moment, I need to work on the gutters but in the future, I would like to be able to go on the roof for repair work. I am leaning towards a 24-ft but I am not sure it is tall enough. How tall is your house? Have you tried extending your ladder so that out step onto the roof?
Think my house is 21' high. I have used this ladder to get up on my roof many times. Works great. I recommend you get the attachment I showed in the video for safety and stability.
For future viewers - a 24' is not really safe enough to get on a 20' roof edge, you really should be using a 26-28ft. You need a minimum of 3' above roof edge to have something to hold. At this height you'll loose about 1ft due to the angle needed (math...). Further, a 24' ladder typically can only extend to a maximum of 23ft due to overlap of the sections. If you have an existing 24ft, look at "step-through" ladder extensions. If you haven't purchased, seriously consider a 28ft.
thanks for the demo. one thing I am not so agree with , did you just hung the ladder in front of the panel? according to code, there should have at least 1 meter clearance in front of electrical panels,and the panel door should be fully open at any time. lets say in an emergency, the ladder is blocking the panel door, we can not quickly open the panel and shut down power.
Like video. While access to the box is a code issue what homeowner knows that? It is not the real problem. The problem is if the break panel box becomes energized, which they can, so can the ladder if it is touching the box. Bad energy, bad karma.
The stabilizer now on 2022 cost $77 wow That is the reason why not to save money on banks or under your bed money lost value over time bit if you invest money over time it will grow a least 20 % average Avery single year
who's the dummy who installed your shingles??? See how your shingles curl at the eave? Its because the moron (which there are a lot of them out there) hung their shingles over the drip edge an inch or more...shingles go to the edge of the drip and do not overhang. I'm a roofing contractor and all your shingle manufacturers can attest to that.
The edge of the shingles should hang over a roof between an inch and an inch and a half - or between a half inch and three-quarters of an inch if drip edge flashing is installed.
Thanks for the vid. Borrowed my neighbor’s. Watching your vid helped me figure out how to lower it down to its original state.
Thank you. I've watched this 3 times and am going for the ladder you recommend. Great job!
Hey, you taught me how to tint my windshield! Great recommendation thanks for the video
Any time!
Great demo, simple, precise.
surfer2151 Thanks for the comment. This is still my favorite ladder.
Thanks so much. I have the trifold that is 6' long. Wasn't sure, exactly how to work it. Very nice video!
Glad to have helped!

Isnt the ladder suppose to be 3 ft above the roof for safety ?
For fire fighting purposes, usually it's 3 to 5 rungs. Commercial I'm sure it's recommended. But idk who's actually enforcing it
@@aaronautry1981 The law of gravity is its own enforcer.
@@danderson68 hahaha got that right
I've always been told 2 feet

Great review.
Thanks for the great demo!
+Shane Wooll Thanks for your comment!
I pulled the two upper and lower sections of my ladder aapart. How can I resemble them? Thanks
do you have standard 10 ft ceilings per floor? trying to understand if 24ft is enough to get the 2nd floor gutters of a standard house. thanks!
I went with a two section 28' to reach the top of my two story home. Easier to get on and off the roof if need be. You should extend the ladder 4-5 rungs above gutters if getting on the roof. Use a harness and rope as well.
Instead of blocking your Main Breaker Panel. You should put it below the panel. Probably easier to put it up and get it down if it's lower as well.
Looks great. What is the height from the ground to your eaves?
Around 22'
@@dial2fast wow ok. Mine is just over 20' but I was concerned because it days the max reach is 23' but I didn't know if that was taking into account a 75 degree angle
Big help
Thank you!

For my roof, I can rest the stabilizer at the edge of the roof and the ladder will not rest on the gutter.
Just had my roof and gutters replaced. I asked the gutter guy about resting a ladder against the gutters and he recommended this exact stabilizer from Home Depot. The reasons are to avoid squeezing the gutter and more important, stopping the ladder from sliding sideways on the gutter.
that was great, 9' is very good, shall look for a price soon
Home Depot was cheaper than Lowes at $219

Yes you can install the stabilizer lower if you want to.

Louie Louie thanks! That helps. I was worried about difficulty handling by one person. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great review
+WCSD Thanks for your comment!
That looks like a cheap ladder and hard to work with? Similar to what we used to do back when, tie in another section.
Thank you. But please don't cover your breaker panel. You should have quick access in case an emergency arises.

since you find it necessary to nitpick, it's actually a 3ft' requirement for frontal panel access
Shutp idiot safety Nazi.

How many stories is your home?
2 stories
225lbs capacity - so that means unsafe for the average American then?
The stabilizer now on 2022 cost $77 wow

seems a bit over-designed to me.
Great video but is anyone else confused about thoes leaves up there 🤷🏾♂️ no close trees around
Nobody has this fucking ladder in New Jersey
If you have an electrical emergency at your home and you are not there, your wife or child will have to remove the ladder. Just sayin'
Car? Lol

Shingles are supposed to overhang. You need some glasses to read the installation instructions better.
Quick to the draw huh
Idiots and blah blah blah rather than asking for the reason being.
