Ease Of Use
The grips are designed to clamp onto most aluminum or steel gutters. They fit on each stile of your ladder and fit most ladder styles, either aluminum or fiberglass. Typically the only adjustment needed is the side pin, which easily slides into place to hold your ladder stiles snug against the lockjaw ladder clamp.
Another added benefit is that your ladder won’t blow off the roof while you’re up inspecting on a windy day. I’ve heard stories from fellow inspectors of forgetting to tie their ladder off to a gutter spike and then having to ask for help from a realtor or a client to get it back. Not only is this quite embarrassing, but a 28’ type II ladder can be tricky to lift up if you’re not accustomed to it.
Perfect For Home Maintenance
Speaking with a realtor recently, he was telling me that he was recovering from a fall off a ladder while doing some annual gutter cleaning. The ladder wasn’t stabilized and he fell backwards off the ladder and straight onto his back. Luckily it was onto a flat grassy yard Debris in the gutter is something that I call out on my home inspections every day. What good are all those gutters if you can’t keep them free of debris and fully functioning? But please, stay safe when you climb up there.
