Henchman... I went for the medium one (10'?). It is the safest and probably the best bit of kit I've got
!2 ft Henchman is a good size i find . As above reassuringly safe , a game changer .
thanks john
cheers adam
to each their own but the tripods are not the be all and end all in my opinion, i have a very stable and versatile ladder called a Little Giant which folds up a lot smaller and which i find preferable. i might invest in a very large tripod one if i get any seriously high regular jobs which call for it. my friend has a tripod called a Hendon which has steps you work from rather than a platform, the difference being that on a platform one you tend to work only from the platform whereas the step type you choose your own level, as it were
Which Little Giant and rung size do you have Billy?
Currently got the 8ft Henchman, often think 10-12ft would have been better with a 6ft, but you cant have them all! £££
the one i have is a 6 rung Revolution XE paid under £250 about 4 years ago from Amazon warehouse deal, it is just so versatile. Heavy enough to be safe but not too heavy to lift in and out of gardens. I did buy the platform accessory but in practice it never gets used. Am sure there are newer models out now but I can envisage it "seeing me out" as it were
I have the 8ft as well and I often think the 10ft and a 6ft would be better. The Henchman are very good ladders though and I would get the one with three adjustable legs, i'm always using them for uneven and sloping ground.
thinking of geting a 6 foot hendon i will have a look at henchman cheers james.
Yes, one like this. I've got a different make but these are very versatile ladders. I've got a 5 rung that sits on the wheel arch inside the van. Had it for about 12 years, looking to get a 6 rung.
