ontmarkLadder Gurus. - Werner Ladder any good.
I may be buying a used Werner Type A1 MT-22 ladder to do some top Fascia Board Painting.
Price of $90 dollars seems good.
Are these ladders any good??
Thanks
Roy

eldeWerner is a first class product. I've been in the ladder business since 1996...recommended.

konata88I have an 8’ step and had a 22’ extension. Both are great (Al type) and had no concerns of safety while on the ladders. Would buy again.

FredwardLadder gurus have elevated status. We tend to look down on others. It's a step up, you see.

Just make sure you don't go the extra step.

striker1I have a few Werner MT ladders. All type 1A. I never use them as extension ladders. I have a 16’ fiberglass Louisville and a Little Giant 22’ 1AA for that.
FYI, the Werner 1AA ladders were
recalled.

Cotton balls? Yes. More so the related product of cotton swabs.
Ladders? Extra load capacity balanced by ease of transport. The MT-22 is a forty pound ladder with a 300 pound load capacity.

Thanks I saw that as I was looking on the net for pricing. Found this one for sale on Nextdoor Neighbor in our town.
Had pictures and said one side has extra padded leg ends. Price and pictures looked good. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't getting something that was wiggly or weak.
Wife is going to paint the Fascia Board for I have bad knees. She started yesterday with an old aluminum 18 foot step ladder that is wiggly.
God Bless Her.
She said she would do the whole house Fascia Board maybe if I just help to move the ladder at times for her. No problem. She looked at the accessories for this ladder and is already scheming on making a paint bucket holder.
We have one side of the house that has a very narrow walkway between the house and neighbors retaining wall. Looks like the option to take it apart and use as a low scaffolding ends will be real handy too.
Thanks Everyone

Excam_ManWerner is my go to for ladders.
However, I'm not a fan of these multi-position ladders. In fact, I wouldn't use one if it was given to me! Finger pinching, biting and holy cow are they heavy and ockward.
Give me a standard fiberglass step ladder or extension ladder. And that is what i have in my fleet of ladders.

charlie12My girlfriend found a 8' Werner fiberglass ladder in the road on the paper route about 10 years ago. I'm sure glad she did it's been a good one.

Second that. I have one of the folding origami Werners that seems to do everything except what I want it to do at the time.
