Anyone know what country these are made in & if it works on a metal roof at all?

YES it will work on a metal roof however you sgould pad and ductape the part that fits over the ridge of the roof so that the metal roofing does not get scraped up.

I don't know the country, it might be England, I didn't have metal roof, but you have to invision of there is anything on the roof it can hook to. You can use either ends, depending how you install it. You still have to use caution, not to fall from the roof.

No idea where they are made. I used them on a steep metal roof with no issues. Pushed them up on the wheels and flipped them over. I am guessing you could scratch things up if not careful, but I had no issues with them. Only complaint it is made of heavy steal which at the end of a ladder can be unwieldy to move around.

I have no idea where these are made, but they are incredibly sturdy - and a no-brainer, simple design for sure. They will probably work on a metal roof, but if it bothers you on site, I'd just wrap the 'hook' end (the piece with the 'T') with something padded. Should work, no problem.

I don't see why it would not work on a metal roof, with the possible exception that there is probably less friction between the hook and the metal roof, so in the rare event that the hook somehow got jostled up it could be more prone to slipping off the roof peak. Also, the wheels tend to want to run off sideways as you are pushing the ladder up to the peak on its wheels, unless you are pushing absolutely straight up. This little problem could be greater on a metal roof. (Or less if the roof has vertical ridges in it.)

this ladder hook was made in China. The man who works with it feels that it should not be used on a metal roof.

I have used two of these on a metal "A" frame roof with no problem. As I was 30 feet in the air, I did tie a rope (600#) capacity to the end of the ladder and secured it to a heavy object on the other side of the "A" Frame. Also used a safety Belt.

Don't waste your money. This will not work safely on a metal roof. Will not hook securely over the top of metal roof. We threw our set aside and tied the ladder to a vehicle on the other side of the house.

I can't tell you what country the ladder hooks are made in at this time,but I can tell you there well made.As far as using them on a metal roof you can adapt them with rubber,just pop rivet the rubber on the hooks and they work great.Thick rubber maybe inch and a half will be fine.I hope I was able to help you.

I think they are made in the North Pole by Will Farrell, but if that is not the case, then they are made in China. Get used to it.

No - they are made in Scandinavia or Denmark, I forget which but definitely not China.

China. I just phoned the company headquarters. First she said "overseas" but when I asked said it was China. She said a few of their metal products are made in the USA.

Great question....I looked it up and they are made in China. Bummer about that but they do work great!

The motors are made in Germany. The rest of the unit is very heavy duty. So far I am extremely pleased. Plus it has a 25 yr warranty. My roofer said he hasn't seen any near as nice.

I have a couple of unopened packages and it does not say where they are made. It is by oaktea.com. I checked their website and it does not indicate what country they are made in. They work really well.

The ones I bought from Amazon 2 years ago have "Made in the USA" stamped right into the metal. These are the Pony 1301 spring clamps.

Sorry, I looked but could not find anything indicating where these are made.

They are made in China-supposedly at a well monitored "environmentally correct" factory, however, expect no customer service or true warranty on them, since you really have no one to reach. I have tried for a year to get a part for them and have not received any response.

They are made in China, however, if you go to their website, it shows that this product is tested extensively by the manufacturer, and the report is available for download. I did it, and the product is safe, in my eyes

I'm assuming mine are made in China. There are no markings as to where they are made, like some of the older ones.

Unfortunately they are made in China. They used to be made and designed in Spain.

Don't know the country of origin, but I would imagine China. Have heard of these causing interference. Mine is not creating any at all, but it is surrounded by steel.

I don't know where they are made but I bought these for my daughter in law for Christmas and she uses them everyday and they still look new. I would buy them again. I also read lots of reviews about rust and staining but these are great! Hope this helps.
