Ladder mitts keep your ladder from slipping and prevent damage to support surfaces
A screeching building owner is something you do not need. You can protect your sanity and a building’s siding when you use a set of ladder mitts from Werner’s. Not only do they keep a ladder from denting or scratching siding, they also prevent the ladder’s sliding out of position.
We have all seen a cartoon or comedy skit involving a character riding a ladder to the ground as it slides down the side of a house. In real life, you could do the same thing, windmilling your arms, making scary faces and screaming as you get near the ground.
What is funny in a cartoon is not that amusing in real life. Gravity is not our friend. A colorful pair of ladder mitts adds a hint of style to an extension ladder. They can also save the day for you.
They are boringly easy to install. Just slip one over each of the end caps of the ladder’s side rails and you are done. Werner’s ladder mitts are very flexible and will fit most ladders’ three-inch end caps.
If your mind needs a little more stimulation, you can try drawing smiley faces on them if you want to. The operative word is “try” because these ladder mitts resist paints, stains, solvents and thinners, which is very good when you want a piece of equipment that stands up to chemicals and stays looking good for a long time.
There are any number of ladder stabilizing tools and strategies, but ladder mitts are the simplest and easiest to use. Of course, ladder mitts will not solve all your problems. You still have to pay attention to good safety practices such as not standing on the top rungs, using a ladder that is long enough to do the job without overreaching and placing the ladder on a level and stable surface.
Use Werner’s ladder mitts to keep building owners and your spouse happy. The owners will be glad that you did not put scrapes and dents in their expensive siding. Your spouse will thank you for not coming home from the hospital in a body cast.
