Everyone thinks they know about ladder safety … including the more than 100 people who die each year in ladder-related accidents, as well as the thousands who suffer disabling injuries.

Little Giant puts a new spin on the traditional stepladder. The HIR staff tested the new King Kombo 3-in-1 All-Access Ladder Model 6-10.

The No Bull Bullhorn Ladder Stabilizer Bumpers
(2-Pack) are heavy-duty, non-skid rubber guards that protect your siding and other work surfaces.

The easiest way to raise a long extension ladder is to do it with two people. One person “foots” the first rung, holding the bottom of the ladder securely to the ground, as the second person walks toward the house with the other end of the ladder, raising it with the first person’s help, as needed.

The HIR staff had the opportunity to test a new 17-ft. Werner Multi-Position Pro, which functions as five ladders in one and can be configured into 24 positions.

We had the opportunity to test the Vosker V200 Wireless Security Camera — a system that works without Wi-Fi and interfaces with your mobile device using LTE connectivity.

The Werner Quick Click Stabilizer protects work surfaces such as roof edges, windows and gutters from damage by an extension ladder.
