I am a house painter and I put together some many scaffolders. Here's a tip, put the wheel last because you fight with them even though if you lock them. I found out that old dogs can also learn new tricks, try it out.
Woo boy that does look like a lot of movement. Good thing painters are sort of standing still in order to do the cut its. I just bought some of these exact sets and I might have to try a couple things and see if I can stabilize it. I have older Perry scaffolds that don't rock that much I think, even when stacked.
They're wobbly but that's not a result of poor design. We've extended ours on a number of occasions to the max of 4 vertical sections and address the wobbles (and remain compliant) with out riggers and also placing additional cross bars in. Far as the HF units go...... Have to ask.... How much do you value on your own safety when in the air?? You can easily and inexpensively rent these well as higher quality ones at box or specialty stores and not have to purchase one. Or risk life and limb and buy one of the junk HF ones.
"I love it when the tools to do a job cost more than I get paid for a job!" NO SHIT RIGHT! Years of buying tools for jobs. My ship is DUE TO COME IN!!!
We've got 4 different Werner scaffolds and have stacked them the max of 4 high on a number of occasions with no issues. Rare occasion we've had anything larger though have gone about renting equipment and if you're a contractor with half a brain factor that expense into the job when doing the quote. If not, welcome to the 'ol "cost of doing business".
Use a shim between the legs and the braces. I do it all the time and there is no movement at all.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing

Nice! Is there any way to make it more stable? or is it just wobbly by design? I wonder how the harbor freight one compares?
Robert Dailey awesome! Ya I can see how a scaffolding would come in handy!

Robert Dailey Yeah I'm sure you get used to it once you're working.

Mary S it worked out. A few weeks later I had a shiplap job come it. Without the scaffolding I would have passed on it

Than you didn't bid correctly
I hate those scaffolds. It's like working on diving board. I ended up buying a AWP and have never looked back.
Just bought one for $149
Wobbles so you can roll
