This is exactly why I bought this stabilizer for my 20' Werner extension ladder. My house is only 1 story but I have been a bit nervous to set it up to clean my gutters, especially on the walk-out basement side of my house. This definitely cleared things up and gave me the confidence to go do it! wish me luck lol
This is excalty the video I needed for the new ladder I just purchased and you are 100 percent correct in your placement of the ladder, it's not supposed to lean on the gutters as it would damage them!!
I have a 17' Vulcan multi ladder, heavy as heck, and had to run out today looking for a standoff. Lowe's had one of these and I snagged the last one. You're right, they do fit on these types of ladders even though the safety sticker on the ladders caution against using standoffs. I know it may be foolhardy to people to bypass these cautions but hell a ladder is dangerous in and of itself. I had to have one, this Vulcan is the only ladder I have to install my gutter guards, so I'm siding with you here. The Werner fits secure, just like you showed it being put on. And with mine, even that top locking clasp snaps in place under that first rung. I just had to give it a solid whack with the palm of my hand. I tested it and everything works just fine, so looks like I'll be getting these guards put on my gutters this evening after it cools down outside! Thanks for making this video, brother. Update: the standoff proved dangerous for use with the Vulcan (derp), me almost taking a spill because the little pin bent out of shape due to the weight... so I now own a 20ft Werner aluminum ladder with this standoff attached, per specs. Oh, and I repaired the pin. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS STANDOFF WITH MULTI LADDERS. TAKE THE COMPANY'S WARNINGS SERIOUSLY!
Love the Video, Bro... no waste time on non important info. Thank you very much for the info.... by the way.. I am starting out... what should be a good rate to charge to clean gutters... I live in Houston Texas. Any tips or advice. Thank you
02:42 that is supposed to lock it in place on ladders that this is supposed to be designed for. Otherwise your only locking mechanism is that little pin at the bottom. If you're comfortable with that, then do this at your own risk.
I was trying it yesterday on my 22' gorilla. Seems tough to fit it on correctly, I was literally kicking it into place (rubber mallet would be better). I've seen videos where it's way easier to put on a regular extension ladder; you can do it with one hand.
Thanks for the video. I have both a werner and a little giant ladder. I was wondering if this would work on both. And, you're correct, that roof really needs replaced.
I’m glad I could confirm this for you. I have had a lot of questions on how to put the stabilizer on these types of ladders. Yes, this roof is really bad.
It can be positioned wherever you want it, however you will have to extend the land so that the rungs you are putting it on are not obstructed by other rungs.
I have this exact same attachment though, once attached, it can still easily move from side to side. So, I can't safely use it. I'm using a Werner ladder (like the one you have in this video) and the attachment is also Werner so don't know what's going on.
It won’t work on a little giant 26 foot. Ladder wrung is too far outside ladder frame. It also won’t work on most 14 to 18 foot newer multi ladders that have metal braces on the first step. You can flip the entire slide around and put the stabilizer on the second step, however I don’t recommend it since the rungs will be on the wrong side and braces may become tripping hazards.

My guy ! I’m here in Lowe’s with both in my cart wondering if they’re compatible. You’re the man, no diddy.

Was looking at this but Werner specifically says it not to be used on the multi-ladder. Glad I found this video
How did this go? Did it work?

i was wondering if it would work with this type of ladder, thank you for clearing this up for me!
Thank you for doing this video.
Fast and simple thanks
Your welcome!
That’s roof has years of longevity still. It just needs cleaned desperately.
Well done sir
Thank you!
Perfect, thank you I just wanted to know if it would work with my ladder & you gave me a bonus tip on how to clean my gutters faster. Woo hoo!
Good job.

I charge a $1 per foot for a single story and $2 per foot for 2 story.

god bless you
I hope it will work with similar gorilla ladder 😅 Thank you for the video!
You’re welcome!

I’m glad I could confirm this for you. I have had a lot of questions on how to put the stabilizer on these types of ladders. Yes, this roof is really bad.
What's the difference between the Werner Universal ladder stabilizer and the quick click?
@@curioustgeorge I have no experience with the universal ladder stabilizer so I couldn’t tell you.
So can you go 3 runs for stability for climbing onto the roof?
what if there is only 3.5 feet of space to put the ladder on the 20 ft house is it still safe to use the ladder because of the wooden fence
Does it have to go on the top rung or can it be positioned a few lower to allow roof access?
It can be positioned wherever you want it, however you will have to extend the land so that the rungs you are putting it on are not obstructed by other rungs.
Can you put this stabilizer 2-3 steps down to climb onto a roof?
@@jacobryan4341 I believe you can, though I have never tried it.
How’s this on tin roofs? Any suggestions.
I have this exact same attachment though, once attached, it can still easily move from side to side. So, I can't safely use it. I'm using a Werner ladder (like the one you have in this video) and the attachment is also Werner so don't know what's going on.
Why does Werner say it’s not for use on multi position ladders?
Good questions. I don’t know.
It won’t work on a little giant 26 foot. Ladder wrung is too far outside ladder frame. It also won’t work on most 14 to 18 foot newer multi ladders that have metal braces on the first step. You can flip the entire slide around and put the stabilizer on the second step, however I don’t recommend it since the rungs will be on the wrong side and braces may become tripping hazards.
Your remarks, "I don't know but it doesn't matter" as you call 911 for Paramedics.
I have been using this particular stabilizer for 7 years, it has never even come close to coming off or failing.
Maybe 3
What happens if you extend the ladder more than 2 rungs (say I wanted to extend it to its fullest height) prior to attaching the stabilizer?
Works the exact same.
Would this work with the 21 foot mastercraft multitask ladder?
I have no idea, I’ve never used a Mastercraft ladder.
So if you use the stabilizer you can’t reach the full height of the little giant right?
Don't want to ruin your metal panels too.
If you’re a lawn care company and you need a ladder I think you’ve left it too long. 😉
Guy is telling you how to use the unit and tells you he doesnt know what the lever is used for. Nice
Lol that’s not my problem.
"That is NOT my job!"
I just bought one for 20 bucks just like your at a pawn shop.
