I bought this a few months back following a thread on here but have only just got round to putting it together. Took me about 30 minutes to assemble and has to drill 4 holes......pretty straight forward really. Seems pretty stable and packs away nice and neat. Shall put it through it's paces tomorrow :)56b57d17-5488-12fa.jpg56b57d17-549a-2f66.jpg56b57d17-54ad-b114.jpg

You won't regret it I've just replaced mine as it was several years old and a couple of the spring loaded snibs had dropped out.

Invaluable for hedge work.

I'm going to see if I can mount mine far enough from the bottom of the ladder to fit one of these too http://www.northerntools.co.uk/pages/access/t_basemate.html

 

If you go all the way up that ladder you'll be kissing the deck pdq!

Looks like a good bit of kit but ladders scare the hell out of me and i just wouldnt trust it. I can branch walk out to the thinnest of tips without a heart flutter but put me on a ladder and you better stay out of the way of whatever falls out my trousers:lol:

only way for me is to fix it to something solid then i am ok.

Well the instructions say not to climb above the top strut, so we'll see how tomorrow goes

 

 

The first time you start to overbalance is a touch unnerving but you soon learn to put the ladder against the hedge and use the hedge as a cushion. I've hung weights off the bottom rung before now for a particularly high one but Ankalad wouldn't approve. Great device.

It's coming in really handy today for these conical yews. Any other ladder would struggle to reach the tops without actually leaning the ladder against the yew which is out of the question. With the ankalad I'm able to pull the struts apart to straddle the yew and reach the top easilyd4b78048-793f-780e.jpg
