Are multi position ladders safe as extension ladders?
I recently decided to get on a ladder to re attached a downspout bracket that came off and I’m wondering if I’m just a wuss by getting off the ladder? I got a Stanley multi position 18’ ladder and when extended fully reaching 12’-15’, the ladder feels shaky and if I moved even a little off center, it felt it could kick out. At lower heights or when using it as a standard ladder with 4 points of contact (not extended), it was fairly steady For reference, the downspout was at the corner of the house making it difficult to reach Was I using the wrong tool for the job or using it wrong? submitted by /u/zerocoldx911 [link] [comments]
