I have the 28' Werner fiberglass ladder. It has the rope. For some reason I can't get the rope to raise the extension. I weight 230 lbs and I can hang on the rope and it won't raise. I have to lay the ladder on the ground, move the extension and then raise the ladder. I've inspected it many times and I can't see what's wrong. The rope is the original black poly and it's pretty stiff. I wonder if a newer, more flexible rope would make a huge difference? Thanks for the video.
Thanks for that straight-forward demo, Grizzel. Please add a caution about keeping your hand out from under the melting rope when using the lighter. Also, to spit on your finger tips before touching and shaping the melted rope... that plastic stores a lot of painful heat and will blister you when it sticks to your skin.
Thanks for the short but straight forward video. Why someone would take 10-15 minutes to explain this i just don't understand . Will visit your site again.
Very helpful thanks for the assistance and your time for making this video!! My gutters were filled with leaves and finally was able to go up there and cleaned them!! Thank you again Sir
Thanks with one note however inexpensive the chin rope is and it was easily identifiable by patterns colors etc, its a dangerous inferior rope and will pop break in pretty soon as it does not weather well. Be advised Use only quality materials lest you have a collapse due to rope fail. thanks again!
Well enough said and advised, also might be making note on rope diameter because fitting a too large dia rope inhibits smooth movement or any at all if too large and too small dia gets jammed between the pulley hanging it on its pin, made the latter mistake myself! @@Grizzel
Doesn't matter. The rope isn't required to be load bearing. It's just to help move the ladder in between locks. Also, that rope isn't inferior, just depends on the job. The superior diamond poly rope is still Inferior to my paracord 1250, yet UV will destroy it all the same on a ladder. This rope is the superior. 😆 Trust me.... I use both these rope on each one of my boats.
Nice job, but I would like to see it in action. I can't quite visualize how it works. Lots of lame videos just leave the rope dangling. Your way looks like the right way.

Very nice video and worked for me. I also learned how to do a bowtie knot. Also, I like the video is concise (short) and to the point!
Thank you! On this one, I indeed knew Jack shit. Hurray for TH-cam teaching me things I should already know.
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for sharing that knowledge
Nice video, quick and concise, thanks.
Good straightforward video that's short and easy to follow.
Nice!!! Learnt something new today
I was pretty sure I was on the right track but I'm glad I checked just to be sure. Thanks for making this video!

I gotta say dude, I like your shit. I think I'll subscribe.
Which rung do you tie the second knot on?
Bottom of the opposite side.
Thanks mate….this method worked….
Going to replace mine , was wondering how to tie a knot on the rung, found out, thanks

Man, Thank You I should have watched you sooner... I followed the rope from the last knock head!!! I was like why is this shit not working... 🤣😂😅
Nice

Thanks brother
No problem.
Thank you
You're welcome.
What size rope?
I used 3/8.
Gamers know knots!
I don’t know why we have to immediately shape molten plastic after doing this every time but I’m guilty of it as well. Usually burn myself.
Lol, yea same. I just don't want the frays.
What is the point of the rope
The rope pulls the extension up. So that the ladder becomes taller to reach higher places.
Uhhh dumb question but how do you pull it when you tied it down on both ends? 😳
The rope will be tied on each side. So when you pull, the latch will move up each rung to lock in.

You are absolutely correct. I had a job that day and this was the only rope I had.

Is there a certain rope to buy to restring an extension ladder? Thanks
I'd go with solid nylon
My extension ladder doesn't have that. It sure would be handy tho.
Doesn't have what exactly? And good to hear from u bro.
@@Grizzel the pulley for a rope
Oh, just put it of that rung in the ladder then.
W gamer
Should the bottom rope and the top/outer rope not be tied to different ladders? you have them tied at the bottom to the same ladder?
or perhaps not !
@truelyirish100 the rope needs to be tied to each side of the ladder, like shown in video.
@@Grizzel Cheers, i was looking at it wrong, good video, thanks man

Would it be easier on sawhorses? I bend the knee for no one ! Nice vid though.
For sure lol, put it on horses.
wise man said if you cant tie knots, tie lots
