Hi All
Thanks for the posts on ladder safety. I bought a Wickes stand off made by Youngmans for £15 (on offer) and it's made a huge difference to my feelings about stability.
Used it today clearing some gutters and it made life much easier & safer.
What about feet widner makes shinning up the ladder a doddle when you get the wobblies.?
It did have the retaining spring to clip on a rung I hope? I've seen them in Wickes with the spring missing.
While the spring is necessary, it does "block" one rung ...
Yes it did. I made a point of looking after your post mentioned it. Thanks for that.
So you're up as far as the gutter then? Need must :-) I sometimes find it useful to extend the width by taping on a length of
2 x 2. Means you can work directly above windows etc without the ladder touching the glass
Was the offer only in your local store or did it look 'nationwide'? I could do with one but don't really want to make a special trip just on a wild goose chase.
Cheers

Its in the Wickes 'Great Gear Great Prices' offers booklet which is valid
7th Aug to 8th Oct so it must be national.
Thanks, I was passing close by to a Wickes today and called in and got one (with spring!). I have wanted one for ages but thought £25 a bit steep but at £15 couldn't pass it up.
Cheers for the tip off.
