Northern Tool Product Review: MetalTech Baker Scaffold - A High-Quality & Safe Scaffold System

- Chances are that if you watch channels like mine, you’ve heard of Northern Tool + Equipment. They’ve been in business for over 40 years, and have over 120 stores in over 20 states. In their catalog and on their website, you’ll find over 100,000 items of tools, equipment, and supplies, including MetalTech construction equipment. MetalTech has been making equipment for the construction industry for over 60 years, including scaffolding. Northern Tool asked me if I’d be interested in trying out something from their MetalTech collection and it didn’t take me long to settle on their 6’ Baker scaffold. I asked if they would include the guardrail kit and they agreed and also offered to include the outrigger kit, so I was thrilled!

Consistently among the BEST review videos on the net! "Professional grade" Thank you!
Thank you very much, Tom! I really appreciate your kind encouragement!
Martin, we have had our unit for about 5 years. Love it! No guardrail unit. No outriggers. My wife and I have spent 100's of hours on the scaffold. We never raised it to full extent as the legs are unsupported and start to get wobbly.
We re-painted our old house including ceilings and we did a major remodel on an old 1890's farmhouse. The scaffold was perfect for removing 10,000 ceiling tile staples. It works best for us with one on the ground and one in the scaffold. The person on the ground is the 'go fer' and pushes the scaffold around. This person also paints lowere surfaces (no sitting around). We always lock all 4 casters. We built a custom ladder for the scaffold that we tied to the scaffold with bungee cords to allow the person on top to get up or down as needed. It had much shorter steps for our old knees.
The outrigger kit may have been useful in a few cases but in many cases they would have kept us from getting close to the wall, which we needed to do, or prevent use in some of the smaller rooms.
My wife and I had a similar system with a borrowed scaffold when we were adding on to and renovating our house. I was on the scaffold and she was the “go for” while I was on the scaffold. It had no guardrails so we made some with some lumber and clamps. Fond memories! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Northern Tool for the donations. It's great to see this unit assembled, and it's stability. Will keep it in mind this summer during my house addition.
LOL! Yes, I thought it was a sweet deal to get that complete scaffold rig for making a review video of it which I had fun making. AND it’s a really well-built scaffold too!
Great video Martin. Northern Tool couldn't have found anyone to do a better review than you do. You are someone that we all trust to give us a good, honest review. Northern Tool made a good choice in you.
Thank you, Gary! I really appreciate your kind and encouraging words! I’m excited that Northern Tool wanted to work with me. AND I got a great scaffold system too. Thanks for watching!
I know what my first purchase is going to be as soon as my barn is up and enclosed. Thanks for the very clear and detailed review, Martin. Looks like a "must-have" for me
Hi Dwayne! Yes, I scaffold is great to have when you have a building with a high ceiling like a barn. Thanks for the kind words!
💥 Great review! That scaffolding also makes terrific shelving for tractor implements. Nice between the feet reverse box opening method! 👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks, Jon! Yes, I remember seeing a couple of your videos covering how you store you implements on scaffolds. Very clever when space is limited. I parked my scaffold over my carryall so it takes up almost no extra floor space. Thanks for watching!
Good evening Sir 👌😉👍 This a very well engineer scaffold and strong built too 👍💪👌😉 You do will need to clean you LED light if your are doing more metal welding work 😉👌👍 Outstanding demonstration Sir and keep warm mon ami Cheers 👍👌🍻
Bonsoir Dave! Yes, I agree. It’s well-designed. Good point about cleaning the lights! And now I have a safe way to do it. Thank you for the kind words! Cheers!
The northern tool sponsorship is awesome !!! I wish I had one local but I do a lot of ordering from them. The outriggers really do make a big difference, especially if you decide to go two high. Awesome review Martin!
Hi Richie! Thank you! Yes, I was very excited about it and hopefully will get more opportunities to try their products.
I have the same issue here. The closest one to me is nearly 90 miles away. I have ordered much stuff from Northern Tool and have yet to have a bad experience. I don't know how well they handle problems because I have never had one. I have never talked to anyone who has.
Just set mine up and I like it on level one. I did go two levels, and the wobble factor scared the shit out of me (mostly because I did it solo). Like I said, it's great for one level, if you go higher have a couple shots of whiskey and hang on for scaffold surfing.
If you stack two, make sure you get the stabilizers for it. Even so, the taller you go, the wobblier it will get. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYMyWay I'll get them, thanks.
Great review on an item I wish I had! Building a home a few years ago, I 'borrowed' the drywall contractors scaffolding. Boy, I wish that it had those railings!!! Mike from SW Ohio
Thanks! Yes, I REALLY like having the railings. I’ve been on scaffolds without railings and it’s not a comfy feeling! Thanks for watching!
My dads a painting contractor so he has scaffolding everywhere in his garage and that unit looks really neat!
Hi Jay! I remember you mentioning your dad is a painting contractor in one of your videos. Yes, it seems really well built and I’m very happy to have it. Thanks for watching!
I have the exact same model but without the guardrail and outriggers, it came in handy when I painted my stairwell. It’s a solid unit 👍🏻. Great review as usual Martin 👍🏻. Have a great day 🙋🏼♂️🙂👍🏻
Hi Luc! Yes, Baker scaffolds are very handy, especially since they can be set up in stairwells. Thanks for watching!
Great review and assembly video. I just got a fuel transfer pump from Northern Tools and their products are nice.
Thanks Robert! Yep, they sell some good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Awesome review, Martin! I was going to rent a set to change out my fluorescent fixtures to LEDs like yours, but I'll probably pick up this system. Northern Tool is a really awesome resource. I have a video coming up at the end of the week reviewing something else from Northern Tool! Thanks for sharing, my friend! :)
Thank you, David! Yes, NT sure is. Looking forward to seeing to seeing what you review! Thanks for watching!
My pleasure, Martin!
Those attachment handles are great!
Yes, they’re one of the features I like the most. It makes changing the platform height easy. Thanks for watching!
Great video Martin👍This is exactly what I need thanks for showing this product.
Thank you, Mitch! For your pole barn, you’ll need two of them and the outriggers and guardrails.
You are amazing! Thank you for all the work you do to create this awesome content.
Thank you for the kind words, Karla!
Nice video! Very informative and professional.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great review, thanks…
As always nice job Martin
Thank you, Sam!
Very good review Martin. Looks real steady. Have a good week! See ya!
Thanks, John! Yes, it seems to be. I hope you have a great week as well!
Thank you for sharing your expertise and insights. This was a very high quality video instruction.
You're very welcome, Greg! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
You are so creative 💡
Excellent tool 👏👍 para el trabajo 👍 greetings from México 🇲🇽
¡Hola Ricardo! Sí, lo es. ¡Gracias por ver!
First off Sir, absolutely great video and description and showing just how easy assembly is. I've had one of Harbor Frieght's Franklin's versions years ago and just recently went and purchased another one but it's still in my product room Uninstalled.
Need another to stack and run across the video of metaltech's new version of scaffolds. The nearest dealer for Metaltech scaffolds and went and purchased one last night.
The newer version is absolutely amazing with the safety features and the quality over the Franklin's version is night and day. I made a call last night to sell my new Franklin scaffolds and soon as I sell it I will be getting ahold of Northern Tool to purchase another Metaltech scaffold with the 14"out riggers and the cage.
Thank you Sir for a well put together and top quality video and to let me know ow Northern Tool carries these nice Metaltech Scaffolds.
Subscribed and looking forward to more great videos Sir! Thank You.
Thank you! Glad you liked it! I’ve been very pleased with my Metaltech scaffold. I don’t use it often but when I need it, it’s great. Thanks for watching!
How's she goin'? These are nice scaffold systems eh!! It's nice that you got the guard rails and outriggers. I find mine gets pretty wobbly when I have it set up near it highest position, so the out riggers and guard rails would be a welcome add for my scaffold. You'll find tons of uses for this now that you have it. I use one for storing some of my tractor implements!! This was a nice review Martin and thank for sharing. Take 'er easy!!!
Hi Mike! Yes, the higher the position, the wobblier they get and the older I get, the wobblier I get so the guardrails are really nice to have! You and Jon Ritter make clever use of scaffolds for storing implements. Thanks for watching!
in the new model，you can climb to top inside
Wow this is a great idea. I hadn't considered one of these but since my ceiling in my shop is 16 ft at the highest point, it sure would be nice to have. I have some wiring to do and guess I will be making a trip to Northern tool soon. Thanks for the great video! Also, it would be interesting to see how you plan to store it when not in use. Maybe partially disassembled and hanging from a wall or something?
Hi Marty! Sounds like you really would benefit from having a scaffold. I thought about disassembling it an hanging the pieces on the wall but it so happens that the scaffold perfectly straddles my carryall so it does take up an extra floor space. I might leave like that for now. Thanks for watching!
I don't mean to be a downer, but you better be careful getting high like that Martin. You need to be especially careful of the downers!
(Great review! 👍😎)
LOL! Right you are! That’s why I appreciate those guardrails so much. Thanks for watching!
Excelente 😊
Bought a few things from them, as far back as when they were Northern Hydraulics. Find shipping costs make many items cost prohibitive.
Hi Landon! Very true but those living within driving distance to one of their stores can avoid the shipping charge. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nice, well thought out system. Thanks for the video. Do you know where it's made?
Hi Terry! Yes, it seems to be well designed and made. The company is based in Canada but I don’t know where it was made. You can probably find out from the MetalTech website or the Northern Tool website. Thanks for watching!
Before used to be installing on the same top of the scaffold. Wondering why now is like that.
Great video. My lights are at a 12 ft height. Can they be reached with this scaffolding?
Yes, assuming you are 6ft or close to it. Thanks for watching!
Voy a fabricarlo muy útil
Yeah I got mine from Harbor Freight is exact same thing and a lot cheaper in price one company makes it with everybody puts their name on it
Cheaper price is good. Free is even better, so I prefer the MetalTech one since they gave it to me. Thanks for watching!
Can you connect two of those on top of each other?
Yes, I believe so. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYMyWay thank you.
Why did they give Mr. Burns anything, he must be broke.
Who is Mr. Burns and why do you think he is broke?
