ST-ORS-3 Ladder Accessories, Chrome

Been using this for awhile now and I have to say it’s super easy to apply to your ladder. It also give you a lot of support and it doesn’t slip.

I am installing aluminum gutter guards on my 2nd story gutters that are 18 ft. off the ground. I have a folding ladder that is 16.5 ft. tall, too short to reach the gutters. I bought this in hopes the standoff would allow me to stand on a high rung and manage the gutter guards installation, which is slid under the first row of shingles with the opposite side screwed down to the gutter lip; and it is a perfect, stable standoff from my wall, making it easy for me to work the four foot span of each gutter guard. I am a 73 old man, and to carry the ladder fully extended without a standoff is a challenge; so any standoff has to be light weight, and since this one weighs less than two pounds total, I can carry and move the ladder by myself.When I first opened the box, I was so skeptical of its capability that I carefully saved all packing material; but it only took me a couple of minutes to insert them the first time, and I was totally sold when I repaired the calking on a tall window and then carried the ladder to reach the gutters. I immediately tossed all packing material. This is a keeper; it's a remarkable product. I only wish I had bought is forty years ago.

Wow, I wish I had known about these years ago! I'm often on all kinds of roofs for repairs. Usually need a helper, and when it's windy 30 feet in the air, it can get scary. NOT THE CASE if you've got these bad boys! I was able to do a flashing & gutter job by myself, & ive never felt more secure! Added bonus is that they won't dent or scratch the gutters! No hardware, just put them in, & feel immediately safe. I'm glad I splurged & got these. Worth every cent! Also, I weigh 300 pounds. No problem. And the rubber padding on the round parts that touche the roof are very thick & durable.

This takes a bit of trial and error to work with ALL rooflines. We have had some issues with different angles on rooflines where it took a few minutes to get a safe setup. If you need to move the ladder around the house a lot (gutter cleaning) like we do, expect to take abit to get it right. We are freaks about safety and having these versus setting up on the gutter itself has been a real relief. I'm not sure how long the rubber will last seeing how it runs against the course roof shingles daily, but for this price, I'm happy to have a safe LIGHTWEIGHT alternative to add onto our 20' and 28' ladder.

Sadly, another great product that doesn't last more than a day. The good news is they really work - nice and stable on the ladder just as advertised. The bad news is today was my first use and already the (VERY SOFT) rubber or foam protectors have already worn through and the metal is showing. So let's take some aerospace quality aluminum in a good design and then put cheap materials around them? Also the black caps on the ends come off every time you take them out of the ladder; annoying as I assume they are there for a design reason? So now I am in the process (yet again) of trying to retrofit a brand new product to get some life out of it.Is there anyone else besides me that would LOVE to pay a couple of extra bucks for a well-made product? *sigh*

I will except these and can work around what I received however I specifically went with this style shown in the picture because of the groove in the inserts as well as the silicone/rubber grey pads versus the black.we are a solar company and use these daily so under our experience with these stabilizers the grey pads last longer per shingle rubbing and the grooved inserts can fit where the ladder rungs have the support bracket that may have a screw in the way. Just for future ordering for someone like me.please let me know if there is a way to select that specific one for future orders incase it was an error on my end.

Makes a stable, 4-points of contact platform out of your otherwise "iffy" ladder. All of a sudden you don't mind climbing (even though you shouldn't) with things in your hands. It's recommended that the top of the ladder still be tied off, but most "Harry Homeowners" won't bother w/this step when using these as the ladder becomes so Much more stable with just these installed.Gave 4-stars because even though they work great and could save your life. I found the price is a little high in my opinion ($68 - $70plus on line for the set). Also the soft foam on tips will get torn up not long after coming in contact w/your shingled roof.(No problem; just use a wad of duct tape.)

I bought these months ago and finally used them when dealing with ice dams. Our siding is new and so are the gutters, and having this attached to the ladder (which was super easy) was way kinder to both gutters and siding than leaning the ladder directly on either. Easily removed so ladder stores easily. And easily used on other ladders as needed.
