Ladders are no joking matter. Every year, more than 90 000 people receive emergency room treatment from ladder related injuries.
Safe ladder use, of course, depends on using proper technique, like keeping your hips between the rails and not overreaching and avoiding trying to level a ladder with objects that might slip or fail, but ladder safety also relies on using the right equipment.
ProVision Tools, makes a line of ladder accessories that reduces risk while making ladder use easier and more convenient.
This is the pivot ladder tool, a ladder leveler for extension ladders that sets up in seconds, just slip it underneath to keep the ladder stable and upright on uneven or sloped ground. The leveler has no moving parts, and yet it's completely adjustable. As grade steepness increases, it adapts to the change by simply being slid further underneath the ladder.
The ladder tool can be used in several other ways. It hooks over any extension ladder rung to provide a safe, stable support surface.
The pivot platform, also from ProVision Tools, snaps onto the ladder tool providing a handy work surface for a roller tray or a one gallon or five gallon can. It can also hold a variety of both hand and power tools.
The ladder tool and tray can even be used as a work platform, creating a standing surface that is stable and comfortable, especially when spending extended work time on a ladder.
By using a pair of extension ladders with a ladder tool attached to each and a plank spanning the distance between, a stable scaffolding can be created that allows access to a wide work area. Here too the ladder tool and platform provide a very useful surface for holding paint containers.
This same accessory can also be used as a ladder standoff, in situations like this, where the ladder is used directly in front of a window.
Extension ladders leaning directly against gutters can cause denting or bending. This tool called the Ladder Helper prevents that from happening. It features a non-slip material inside and simply hooks over the gutter ridge using an extension pole. When the job is finished, the accessory is easily removed, again using the pole.
This versatile system is ideal when it comes to working on interior stairwells, the Ladder Tool is placed on a step with these gripper fingers preventing slipping. The extension ladder is then set on top of this anti-slip grit surface. A second ladder tool is snapped onto one ladder rung and a plank is placed on top with the opposite end resting on a step or landing. The resulting scaffold provides a stable platform that allows access to the entire stairwell.
Ladders are essential home improvement tools, make using them as convenient and safe as possible by choosing good quality equipment and accessories like those we've just seen.

Ron, you have no idea how long I've been fallowing you. I've watched you on TV for the longest and now I fallow you on YT. Thanks for the video's. As always, you're a big help around the house.
No one else commented on how he has the ladder BACKWARDS in some shots!
Lmao, I noticed that myself.
Funny
Thanks for safety info. Never can have too much of it. Also appreciated the handy other safety
accessories.
Looking forward to your next video.
I like this guy, no fluff and straight to the point great video👍🏼.
1:30 One MAJOR PROBLEM with this device: you never show in the video how one would climb over the ladder tool in order to stand on it! Where is that demonstrated?
The same goes for the scaffolding scene right after your scene.
I was thinking the same thing!
I think they picked him up over it using a crane and that safety strap.
Then moved the crane out of the video shot.
Get yourself some ladder mitts, Ron, they can protect you and the siding
You can also place it right underneath the ladder to prevent the ladder from slipping easily
Looks like a great accessory but I have a question. We see you standing on the tool in place on the ladder but it seems to take up most of not all of the rung width so how do you climb over it to have a place to stand? I can't see climbing up then reaching down to position it.
Perpetual ladders lol
He probably used another ladder to get on top of it. Lol
Really love this idea
0:50 STOP, flip the ladder. You’re having it wrong.
yes I can see that could be a very helpful accessory, thank you sir. where to look for that item?
gonna try that tool for sure
👍Good products
I have two Pivots.. very, very useful.
That harness will tighten up shorty after your face hits the ground
Hot damn! I need 10 of these!
At 1:32 I thought it was just his shoes resting on the device... His pants just blended into the background
Awesome..thank you.
Great video Ron just like all your videos. I suggest you look into proper fall protection training. The way your harness is connected to good more harm then good and gives you a false sense of safety.

Can you explain why you use the ladder the wrong way round?
would have been more convincing if you'd shown how you climb past the thing when suggesting its use as a comfortable platform to stand on
Go back to 1:30 in the video when he's standing on a backwards set up extension ladder. How safe can that be lol...
😂 why is his ladder backwards at 1:30
🤔
Sheesh, actually after watching the entire video he set the fiberglass ladder up backwards almost everywhere. Just curious as to why. It’s awkward to walk up an extension ladder this way.
amazing
I have those products and love them 🤙🏽
Does the ladder tool come with the yellow platform?
Looks like I have been using my extension ladders "back to front" for thirty odd years 😂
Straight claw hammer = dig hole for the ladder's foot when on a grade.
Vital information, thank you sir
This is not a ladder safety video. It’s about a couple handy gadgets. I encourage everyone to do an Internet search for ladder safety. Use the correct ladder and when you use your ladder give it your full attention.
Buying 2
It surly has some uses but I still prefer the versatility of ladder grips from Scotland
P.S.A-don’t put the ladder backwards like he did
Hey Ron you need to put aint the the paint brush or you will never get the house painted.
All serious though you have helped me out a lot with all the info. Thank you..
Ladder is backwards
A harness on a stairway? Wouldnt you land before the slack tightens? Lol
I was cracking up!
Ha ha! I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he"s just covering his bases for legal reasons.
You’d be dead, but the stories they’d tell about you! 👍 Worth it 💯
LOL
He’s too cool to land😂 before the slack titans😂
Do you have an Amazon link?

they dont sell a 3 pack at a discount
These comments are hilarious. Video not so good but I'm convinced with the product. Other than trying to figure out how to climb around it
Ladder is set up backwards the entire video
♥
You carry the tool up and put it on. Then you can’t get down to get the can of paint
All that care and attention, then forgets to put a sheet down when painting
Conveniently not showing how you step over the platform to get above it. No doubt the product looks sturdy, but you're giving a sales pitch that leaves out the details. 🤔
I thought that voice sounded familiar….
How is that standoff going to be of any use as a tray to hold you paint can, at that rate the paint would be above you and you would have to lean backwards to dip your brush in the paint, who’s kidding who here.
Theres no paint on that mans brush?!?!?!?
This thing is so expensive, it's better to just hire someone to do a job requiring ladder climb.
I put something in front of my ladder.
All unsafe. - including the body harness use. Safest are levelers mounted to the ladder legs and attached standoff stabilizers at the top.
Do not trust this guys safety tips. He has attached his lanyard to a small branch of a tree, and has a 9' lanyard that will have him hit the floor before fall restraint, lol
Wtf lmao. Dude just hammering the shingles on a backwards ladder lmao
