Great video. I am a 68-years old man and I am going to climb to my two-story roof today.
😱😱😱😱😱🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am glad the video was helpful.
Comment back if you survived

Thank you for this video. A lot of people talk about safety with the ladder, but they don’t tell you how how to raise it and keep it latched
Excellent real world demo ! Better than getting smacked knuckles like I did yesterday with my 24 foot. Always keep your non-rope hand out of danger when zooming down...
Thank you I bought a 32’ to paint my house and I’ve been lifting it around wrong, and having a hard time raising it up. This helped a lot. I also hate heights, but I have to paint my house.
Good to hear.
I don't need to paint but I have to decorate for Halloween and Christmas and I gotta get up there - I know your pain with the heights part. Every season the first trip up freaks me out, I shake and go slow, and then after a few trips up and down I'm much better.
I just watched a few videos about how to use a ladder, don't know why they make it too confusing. You did it very simple . Now I know how to use mine. Thanks.
mario castillo Glad they were beneficial and made sense for you.
Thanks, it was easy to deploy the ladder, but I was having a difficult time collapsing it.. My dad wasn't handy. so I never learned this stuff you have to know as a homeowner. My best from Canada
My pleasure!
Thank you. Right to the point and great instruction. I do not need 20 minutes of safety blabber. Some people are so safe, nothing gets done.
Glad this was helpful to you.
This is the first video I found that helped me to get back the ladder. Everybody seems to excited to show how to extend the ladder, but then when you need to store it again, you can't manage to open the spring locks to lower the ladder because Werner ladder explanation on the side of the ladder leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, it's one of those marketing information that who actually wrote the instruction did it in an an office with AC, but probably never went out in the field and tried to follow his own instructions. It works if you already know how to do it. Thanks again for the help.
Thank you for these videos. I was on a job, borrowing a 30 ft ladder. Did not realize how crazy it can be. Found your videos really quick, and was back at it in no time!
Good to hear!
THANKS! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see to familiarize myself with. Informative video. 👍
Thank you. We hired a guy who only did half the job -=- it's been a year. He left his ladder so we used to finish it. He's never returned our calls. My initial take on him was that he was an alcoholic.This video was very helpful. We now own a 24 ft. Werner ladder but our out 800 bucks.
Glad the video was helpful.
Thank you so much. There were no instructions on my Gorilla extension ladder. I suppose they only expected builders who already have used one to buy it, but you pointed out the danger well. Thanks.
Alain Dubois My pleasure!😁
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. It really helped a lot to understand the functions and clear up some handling problems.
My pleasure.
Thanks, I was having trouble lowering mine and you helped.
Glad to hear Ryzen.
Thank you! Highly useful video .. I didn’t get what was the purpose of the rope initially but quickly realized I couldn’t get to the maximum height.
Good to hear Arun.
Thanks for the video. I am rebuilding an old extension ladder. I learned from your video about the little black fingers that allow the ladder to retract. They are missing from my ladder and I will have to fabricate them. They show clearly at 1:52.
Hey, glad it helped.
Thank you. This is what I was looking for. The last painters stole all of my Mom's ladders (terrible I know) but left her extension ladder & I was never clear how to use it. Now I get to fix gutters. Yay. So excited.
My pleasure. Glad the video was useful.
This is great - I just bought one and had no idea quite frankly - so thats super helpful
Great to hear!
Thank you ! I just bought my first 24 ft extension ladder and had no idea how to string the rope or what it was for...I thought it was extra protection to help secure the ladder from unlocking and falling down
Lol 😆
My pleasure.
Thank you for these videos. I never used a ladder and this helped me feel more confident I can do it safely
Glad to help.
Thanks for the video. I’m replacing the rope on an old extension ladder and needed some help.
Cool beans Chris.
Glad i watched your video series on ladders.
I hope it was helpful Barry.
@@Matthewspainting Very much was, this stuff isn’t as straight forward as it looks. Thanks to these i felt confident to safely handle a 36’ extension ladder to do work up in some gables.
Thanks Matthiew. I'd never heard of 40 and 60 ft ladders. In the UK, you'll be hardpressed to find a ladder above 25 ft :)
We only use up to a 32’ extension. Their are 40’ ones, but they are very heavy. If I said 60, I meant a 16’ :)
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Safety first!
My pleasure.
Very useful & important information about entensionl ladder.
Glad you liked it
so great, you're an awesome instructor! really clear
Thank you Cheryl.
Omg you make that look so easy I'm jealous!:) Thank you for all of this sharing of really useful knowledge!
You bet. Glad this helped.
Much appreciated. For a bonehead like me, this is essential stuff, well shown and explained.
We all need this. Thank you.
Clear explanation
Good to know!
No BS, clearly explained, thanks!
You bet.
Lifesaving video. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure.
It seems like as the height extends, the weight you’re lifting with each pull lessens. That’s why in the beginning you assist with your hands, but later that’s not needed. It would be good to know that. But great video, thank you
Thank you for the explanation and demonstration.
Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for your help every informative
My pleasure Martin.
You do a great job on these videos. Thanks!
My pleasure. Glad you are benefiting from them.
I just restrung my ladder because the rope had practically disintegrated, after not using my ladder for 15 years. I noticed that the rope on that ladder is loose on one end, and the other end has a crimp, instead of a knot, to attach the rope to the rung. Must be the original rope. The video I saw on restringing a ladder had me tie both ends of the rope. Any disadvantages to that? It still seems to work ok. By the way, I admire your honesty in admitting even pro painters don't always operate these ladders smoothly.
We just tie the loose end when we are moving the ladder around or loading the ladder onto our vans so that we do not trip on it and so it is not dangling on the ground from the cargo racks.
Great job
old vid, but a good one, thanks for the explanation
Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for your knowledge!
You bet.
Love your ladder videos.
Careful wrapping the cord around your index tho no?
Simple and to the point
Thank you.
Great!! Thanks
My pleasure David!
Great video on the safety.
Thanks 👍

Excellent video. Easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks man your video helped me today
Physikal Jnr My Pleasure!
Great explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Thx from a new hvac tech
Thank you so much- great video!
I have the 28' fiberglass werner ladder. It has the rope. I weigh 230 lbs. I can hang on the rope and I can't get the ladder to raise or lower. I have to lay the ladder down, adjust the extension height and then it takes two people to raise the ladder. The fiberglass ladder is so heavy I wish I had not bought it. Thanks for the video.
Double check to make sure the wheel in the pulley is spinning freely. Also, make sure the rope is not frayed and make sure the rope is moved to center of a rung before raising up and down. This should help.
@@MatthewspaintingI finally replaced the rope and now it works great. Apparently the old rope got stiff from too much sun.
That's cool Extension Ladder .for safety use..
Thank you.
You make such hard work of it. Pull the base out to where it should be, for every 4 feet of height, position the base of the ladder 1 foot away from the wall. In other words, the distance between the wall and the base of your ladder should be one quarter of the ladder's height (putting the ladder at a 75° angle). This applies whether you're measuring in feet or metres. left foot on the stabilising rail, which you don't have..!!! and lift the fly sections with your right hand. Then the second section easy......30 second job. I live on ladders just about. What a pain to do it your way...
I am glad that works for you Paul. Do you feel someone brand new on ladders, who just started working for a company, would read your comment and understand what you just said?
Paul - what do you mean?
Thank you.
Good video here......very helpful
Glad you liked it.
i like the doggy door with the little ramp lol. good video, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
I got one of those gorilla multi use ladders to decorate my house and those things are unwieldy as hell! If you want a multiuse, get the 16' one and call it a day. Anything taller, get an extension ladder.
Thank you.
Can i do this with only one arm. . because i want to wash windows and do it fir myself. Tired working for others making bare minimum
I believe so. I would add to wear leather gloves when doing this.
None of the other ladder videos show the pulley and I really wanted to see one working. Do they come already attached to a new ladder or do you acquire them seperately and fix them on yourself?
great vid
Glad you liked it.
u the man
Glad you liked it.
But why do ladder makers have you reach around the back of the ladder to pull the rope. It's much more convenient, especially with a continuous rope, to turn the ladder 180 degrees and pull down on the rope in the front of the ladder. Anyone know?
I would guess in case it comes crashing down, it would be in the back and not on the top of your head.
Did you raise it to what would be considered 3 rungs from the top
I cannot recall.
Why is the rope not tied to the ladder,cheers
👍
Hope this helped.
This video was everything I was looking for. Thank you so much! 🙌🏻🪜
You're so welcome!
