How did I get by without this?

Does as advertised. Really stabilizes the ladder. Now I feel un-safe when I don't use this.

Item received in good condition, was easy to install on ladder and does its advertized job of stabilization and standoff from the structure. Installation was easy and fast as is removal of the stabilizer

Well engineered, well constructed, easy on/off. I would purchase another if necessary. I no longer have to worry about crushing the gutters on my house when cleaning them.

A must have

For safety sake, you pretty much have to have a stabilizer if you're working more than 16' off the ground - and this is simply the best. Simple installation on my Warner extension ladder(it just slides on and two pins hold it in place), it's aluminum so it doesn't add much to the weight when you're trying to hoist it, and the hook that comes with it is adjustable to either side for hanging a paint can or a bag of tools. Well made, easy to use, and indispensible.

Convenient, well made

I bought this ladder stabilizer, to help when I cleaned the aluminum gutters on my house. I've had issues before where my ladder would dent the gutters when put against them. This stabilizer did a fair job of keeping the ladder away from the gutters, with the stabilizer arms pushing against the roof, but it would have been nice if the standoff distance was a little greater, or better yet, if the arms were adjustable for different situations. The plastic arm caps were too soft and got cut pretty fast. They should have been made out of a harder material, I had to duct tape the caps on to protect them. The stabilizer's pluses,though, outweigh it's negatives. Easy to install or remove. Real value compared with other models I looked at, that probably wouldn't have worked as well as this one.

Good, but rubber feet could be better

I purchased this after I had the roofing company repair my gutters. The workers had this stabilizer on the ladders and rested them on the roof. This enabled a large angle as to avoid the landscaping in the front of my house.

In using them, I realized that in that position (which is probably not the intended use) the feet tend to slip off. As another reviewer mentioned I am going to try to glue mine although the feet are a wearing item and are sold separately.

All in all this was a good purchase.

A must for tall ladders.

I bought this after trying to climb a 26' ladder and deciding to go down at 1/2 height as it felt like a pure suicide.

The stabilizer fit on my generic ladder wihtout any problem (it is designed to fit onto many different types of steps and locking mechanism is very well designed).

The only beef I have with it is that rubber ends detach way too easy. They feel off twice on me in one day and you have to folder the ladder to re-attach them since once off, they expose sharp metal edges. I will be gluing mines in since I don't see any reason for them to not be permanent anyway.

The stabilizer also comes with a hook as well, you can move the hook to either side of stabilizer.

Fantastic addition to a ladder

I don't normally feel compelled to write a review unless something is really good or really bad. This is the former. It's one of those things you wonder how you did without once you use. I still hate cleaning my gutters and of course, it's really no fun climbing a ladder but this makes it so much sturdier that I no longer dread each climb. Simple to put on/take off and appears to be very well made.

I'm a bit surprised anyone would consider it a problem that you can't lower the ladder to it's lowest position with this device installed as it is so easy to install/remove. If I'm going to need a ladder that short I'll probably use my stepladder anyway.

Great product, I'm never climbing a ladder without one of these again!

Stabilizes but Doesn't Avoid Gutter

2008-01-07
This is a good product for stabilization but it dosn't set youout far enough from the house to avoid the gutter as I had hoped. I was trying to keep from crushing gutters but this didn't help that. You almost have to have a ladder leveler on the bottom whem using this too, there's no cheating a small angle, but, its not really safe to do that anyway. It goes on and comes off very fast and easy, I work alone and have no problem, much easier than I expected. I was very pleased.
