with the cold weather coming on i was thinking are they any good , every time my laddo has to get the pointer off the van he moans about the ladder being freezing .so can you get em to fit a pointer and were do you get em from. thanks in advance guys ;)
-
No, they won`t fit on a pointer,way too small.
They fit on a sausage dog very snugly though.

Tell the laddo he lucky to have a jobbo. I'd concentrate on showing him the correct way to use the ladder so you dont end up in courto. 75 degrees, maintain a 3 point grip, never repair a damaged ladder, that sort of stuff. Anyone who knows and respects a ladder would never be led into a false sense of security and complacency by complaining about it s temp. They should be banned anyway, bring on the WFP baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a pair off gloves off WCC for about 25pound and my hands were nice and toasty all through the winter.I think they were seal skin or something

I got some orange ones off of the ebay last year, stupid things are to small and very uncomfortable, i wont be wearing them this winter.

I find the strings that keep the mitts attached to my jacket annoying, they keep tangling with my woolly hat, but they are good in the fact I never lose them as they are permanently attached ;)

Anybody know what type of foam is used on the ladder mitts?
-
i couldnt get on with MITTS , mainly because when i rest my ladder on the upper sills ,in which case the mitts are in the wrong place. I now have bike inner tube rubber wrapped around the first 18 inches of my ladders and this grips good

I was wondering if you took out the steel rim in a tyre and cut it could the tyre be cut into 3ft lenths and fixed to each side of the ladder, this would be ideal as you could still put the ladder up and down and it would not be in the way, i think you could then move the ladder on to the cill at a height that you want instead of just on the top rung! and it would protect the cill and would give good grip!

that sounds a good idea , but i think car tyre rubber would be too hard to cut. another idea i have just thought of is 2 slats of wood,width of ladder, fitted paralell to an upper rung . 1 slat above the sill and 1 slat is below the sill . this would mean the ladder could not slip sideaways. might not work in practice?, im just writing down my thoughts,ignore if u want to /// and if the 2slats were fitted in a V shape they would grip the sill edge well

Bobby i was thinking bike tyres not car tyres! :)
