A must for any diyer or homeowners. Also used it for paintwork. I'm not a pro that uses everyday but fine for this homeowner. The u * go a specific direct.

I leave it attached to my 17ft folding ladder. I also have a daylight basement, so the roof on one end of the house is about 18 feet high.

U-bolts are not long enough to attach per the manufacturer's instructions. Extends about 3 feet and hangs up on itself.
