I’ve been cleaning the gutters on my 14 foot high garage for 40 years with an extension ladder. I was always uneasy doing it. I can’t believe how safe I felt and how stable the ladder is with this thing on. Some people were saying about the rubber pads making marks. The pads are beige colored and soft and leave no marks. This is a great product and wish I had gotten it many years ago.

There were a couple of problems. Putting it on the ladder is not very easy to do. There are too many little parts that have to be fit together. I had a different kind that was really easy to put on, Basically it just fit over the two rungs and easily locked on. Problem was it only pushed out 13inches from the wall. This one is a pain to put on. It pushes out about 25 inches from the wall, which I like, But it is really wide. Too wide. So, difficult to assemble, the pads that rest against the wall are extremely wide BUT it does push out a good distance from the wall.

This ladder standoff arrived with all parts and no damage. The product is well made, strong steel parts and has proven to be reliable. Assembly was simple and fast. I use it to clean the rain gutters on my home. The overhangs required that I use a standoff that could keep the ladder at least two feet from the wall. That way I could safely clean the gutters without resting the ladder against the gutter. This standoff rests its feet against the wall of the home, this is preferable to using a standoff that rested its feet on the roof shingles as I did not want to damage them. The amount of standoff exceeded 2' and worked perfectly. This standoff is also adjustable and that became unexpectedly valuable when I needed to do work on the wall itself. With a simple but sturdy adjustment mechanism I was able to reduce the standoff distance and easily perform work on the wall. Also, the pad attachments were excellent. Made of white rubber pulled over a very thick strong plastic support, they proved very effective at not allowing the ladder to slide and they left no marks on the painted surface of the walls. Also, the standoff comes with wool pads that can be placed over the rubber pads, I did not use these. However, the instructions were understandable, if you want to use the standoff on a non porous (slick) surface, you can add a silicone sealant (not glue) to the wool pads, work it in and let it dry, place the wool pads over the rubber pads and then the standoff will grip the surface. I am very happy with this tool because it has allowed me to safely work on my home. I highly recommend this product.Read full review

I like the adjust-ability of width in the arms. It looks like the picture has the arms installed incorrectly. The arms pin out to the side and not forward. The pads that contact the siding surface come with slip on covers that are soft padded. Decently thought out ladder stabilizer.

The tubing and hardware are very good, a bargain. Assembled and trial use very stable. For years I have used my 24 fiberglass ladder for 2nd story gutter cleanout. The ladder is much more stable with this standoff in max position. It does add some weight to the fly section while raising and lowering.
