Very helpful thanks for the assistance and your time for making this video!! My gutters were filled with leaves and finally was able to go up there and cleaned them!! Thank you again Sir
Thanks for the short but straight forward video. Why someone would take 10-15 minutes to explain this i just don't understand . Will visit your site again.
Thanks for that straight-forward demo, Grizzel. Please add a caution about keeping your hand out from under the melting rope when using the lighter. Also, to spit on your finger tips before touching and shaping the melted rope... that plastic stores a lot of painful heat and will blister you when it sticks to your skin.
I have the 28' Werner fiberglass ladder. It has the rope. For some reason I can't get the rope to raise the extension. I weight 230 lbs and I can hang on the rope and it won't raise. I have to lay the ladder on the ground, move the extension and then raise the ladder. I've inspected it many times and I can't see what's wrong. The rope is the original black poly and it's pretty stiff. I wonder if a newer, more flexible rope would make a huge difference? Thanks for the video.
Thanks with one note however inexpensive the chin rope is and it was easily identifiable by patterns colors etc, its a dangerous inferior rope and will pop break in pretty soon as it does not weather well. Be advised Use only quality materials lest you have a collapse due to rope fail. thanks again!
Well enough said and advised, also might be making note on rope diameter because fitting a too large dia rope inhibits smooth movement or any at all if too large and too small dia gets jammed between the pulley hanging it on its pin, made the latter mistake myself! @@Grizzel
Doesn't matter. The rope isn't required to be load bearing. It's just to help move the ladder in between locks. Also, that rope isn't inferior, just depends on the job. The superior diamond poly rope is still Inferior to my paracord 1250, yet UV will destroy it all the same on a ladder. This rope is the superior. 😆 Trust me.... I use both these rope on each one of my boats.
Nice job, but I would like to see it in action. I can't quite visualize how it works. Lots of lame videos just leave the rope dangling. Your way looks like the right way.
Very nice video and worked for me. I also learned how to do a bowtie knot. Also, I like the video is concise (short) and to the point!
Now, that's some educational shit for sure! Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you! On this one, I indeed knew Jack shit. Hurray for UA-cam teaching me things I should already know.
Good straightforward video that's short and easy to follow.
I was pretty sure I was on the right track but I'm glad I checked just to be sure. Thanks for making this video!
Nice video, quick and concise, thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing that knowledge
Thank you so much brother God bless you , I'm at work and didn't know how to do it you just saved my day 🍻

How thick should the cord be? Mine is second hand and the cord is long gone. 😅 it’s about 50 years old and all aluminum.
1/2" should be fine

You are absolutely correct. I had a job that day and this was the only rope I had.

Is there a certain rope to buy to restring an extension ladder? Thanks
I'd go with solid nylon
I don’t know why we have to immediately shape molten plastic after doing this every time but I’m guilty of it as well. Usually burn myself.
Lol, yea same. I just don't want the frays.
nice video grizzle

What is the point of the rope
The rope pulls the extension up. So that the ladder becomes taller to reach higher places.
Uhhh dumb question but how do you pull it when you tied it down on both ends? 😳
The rope will be tied on each side. So when you pull, the latch will move up each rung to lock in.
Which rung do you tie the second knot on?
Bottom of the opposite side.
Thanks brother
No problem.
Nice
Thank you
You're welcome.
What size rope?
I used 3/8.
My extension ladder doesn't have that. It sure would be handy tho.
Doesn't have what exactly? And good to hear from u bro.
@@Grizzel the pulley for a rope
Oh, just put it of that rung in the ladder then.
Gamers know knots!
Would it be easier on sawhorses? I bend the knee for no one ! Nice vid though.
For sure lol, put it on horses.
W gamer
Should the bottom rope and the top/outer rope not be tied to different ladders? you have them tied at the bottom to the same ladder?
or perhaps not !
@truelyirish100 the rope needs to be tied to each side of the ladder, like shown in video.
@@Grizzel Cheers, i was looking at it wrong, good video, thanks man
wise man said if you cant tie knots, tie lots
