      Construction and painters used them mostly in pairs and would run a plank from ladder to ladder to set there cement or paint on as they worked off the ground ...my best guess

      Also good for working on things like gutters that you can't lean a ladder on. Handy ladders.

      Yeah Dizzy, would be great for that. Getting mangoes, soursop, genips etc..

    6. Dizzydave Dizzydave, 8 years ago
