Can this be used as scaffolding between ladders for interior and exterior painting properly secured? Too short for workbench or scaffolding for me.

Personally, I would not use it in the type of application you have described. It's construction is aluminum and plastic with 3/8" MDF top

I wouldn't recommend using this as scaffolding, it is not designed for that purpose. This bench is pretty heavy and it's designed use as pictured, two reversible tops to choose from. The main support and rigid table top is a diamond weave design, although sturdy it was not intended to support a full grown man.

brackets on this corner buddy are adjustable. Having said that, I am unsure of restrictions to which it may or may not find ladders of smaller dimensions! Good luck!

You would probably still need a ladder. It might work, but would be awkward. I wouldn't recommend it.

The 22 footer is about 5ft off the ground when used that way. I was able to paint the first floor of the house (outside) that way. The ladder is heavy, note the wheels.

Yes, somewhat, i did for siding, caution however due to TORQUE...long reach and tilted spray head does make it a bit hard to hold, but it works...max i effectively coudl use was about 20'+-and yes I did even stand on a ladder for higher areas...be careful, good equipment quality and value...fits well

It should work as long as your rung spacing is standard like other extension ladders. Once you install the Standoff, it does add additional weight to raise the ladder off the ground to the desired height.

The top step is 5'7". Add to that your 5' and the reach of your arms and tthat is 10' and some inches. So if you are trying to get to 13' I don't think this will do it. If you are using some sort of long handled device, for example a paint roller on a short pole, then maybe yes. I would personally err on the side of caution and get more ladder than I need, not less. No point straining and stretching. This is supposed to make a job easier.

Yes good idea , especially for heavier folks. I attached to dock and as the bottom end of laser was close to bottom , I just added a couple of flat 6X10x2 inch landscaping bricks from Home Depot to fill gap and reduce stress on upper portion of ladder. All in all quite sturdy , but would recommend bracing bottom of ladder if not touching bottom.

Should be ok to use while on a ladder. It is very lightweight and can be used with one hand.

I don't believe I would recommend that. It is more for situations when there is something supporting the ladder from behind, such as a house elevation, etc. I probably would not do well with nothing supporting it from behind.

I don't think it would work as you need a solid surface such as a wall to put the hook part of the ladder against in order for it to function safely, and the wrought iron gate is probably not solid.

Sorry, I wouldn't know because I don't own that ladder. I have mine on a standard aluminum extension ladder, so I would measure the width between the sides and height between rungs on yours and then go to a home depot or the like and compare the measurements. If they are the same, then you should be good to go.

Sorry to say, no. It has spring clips (for want of a better term) that have to be set for each section on both sides, as the ladder is being extended. Think that's why it failed for that one guy. In a pinch you might be able to do this, but it would mean being able to reach down two feet and that doesn't take into account being able to open the hatch door which is designed to be locked from below.

Hi. I would think that this ladder could be used on a dock assuming you have a brace of some sort where the center rung could rest against. On a Pontoon boat that center rung is resting against a pontoon. Unless you have this brace i would not recommend it as it would not be strong enough. The only other suggestion i could offer is to make a ladder out of 2 x 4s.

I'd say yes as long as your ladder is secure. Suggest strapping to the ladder too.

Because we have had many painting projects recently I have those supplies around our home and was able to use a hook that could be used with any painting can or 5 gal. bucket and was able to attach it to the top of the ladder quite securely. It could be filled with items to move into or out of cupboards or shelves. Any hardware store has those hooks and buckets.

Honestly, the answer is NO, it is too short to really work as a joiner. That being said, if you are careful, using this will probably produce a better edge that you'd get from the hardware store, or maybe even a lower end table saw.
