Ratings & Reviews for Werner Universal Aluminum Stabilizer For Extension ladders

Missing Info and Low Durability of End Cap

This stabilizer came to the market around 2014 as a great life saver. So why 3-star? Because of two reasons. (1) The instruction fails to mention one of the accessory components that are found in the bag: Narrow Angle Clips. How they can be used is missing. (2) Rubber end cap does not last long enough to function as was deigned for as it wears out faster than users expect.

Could be better

I wish this was designed with an adjustment for how far standoff can be. Only 10" standoff means ladder is way under the house eaves so not easy to stand on ladder and still clean gutters. I have attached a couple of pictures you can see with 20' ladder only extending to about 16' accessing gutter requires always hanging onto the ladder with one hand. Had I been able to make standoff about 6" preferably more accessing would have been much easier and safer.

Easy to assemble. Really helps to stabilize an extension ladder. Keeps ladder away from the window or vent you are working on. Had to do internet order, since it was not stocked at store.

Used product in the box

The white caps had obviously been installed before. The wingnuts had marks on them where someone had used pliers to tighten them. This product was returned for a refund. I really don't like paying for a new product and getting a used one.

excellent product

these are fabtastic. as for the review below that says make one out of PVC and U Bolts, that can spin while you are up on the ladder, and that can be very dangerous, i advise. The hardward provided with this unit has aluminum pieces which prevent this. Werner has researched the safety of these extensively, as well as others im sure , and i choose never to enter a roof or work on a ladder without one of these standoffs. safety factor in my opinion. multiplies in your favor many times over. thank ...

Nothing Fancy - Works Well

Easy to install on the ladder. Sturdy. Spans each side of a window for stability and access for installation, painting or washing.

Doesn’t fit all Werner ladders

Be aware that it doesn’t fit all Werner ladders. I have the orange 36’ Xtension ladder. the side rails are 3 1/4” wide so this DOES NOT fit.

Stabilizer bar

It stabilizes the ladder to secure the length it extends.

life saver

it makes getting closer to a house or working on gutters very easy

Easy to use

Easy to install and sturdy. Makes working a roofline so simple.

Stable ladder

Installed easy on my 20’ extension ladder, and was adjustable while installing rain gutter covers. Doesn’t rest on the gutter but makes contact with the roof and feels really stable. Much safer than doing the job without it. Don’t even know it’s there while moving the ladder around. Should have bought it years ago.

Functioned as expected

I would like them to be longer to push the ladder out further from the house to clean gutters but they still did the trick to help clean windows.

Works on Werner MT26

I have the MT26 multi folding ladder. It's true that the instructions say to mount on climbing side of ladder reducing the standoff. But that's only if you need it to fold and lock all the way. You can mount it on the underside getting the full standoff. And it will collapse and fold fine. Only thing is it won't fully fold so the top locks won't lock. The wing nuts get in the way I think. Still, if you don't mind the folding issue (I don't) or don't mind removing it when you don't need it...

Consider Me Stabilized

This works perfectly with the Warner extension ladder that I purchased. I feel much more comfortable using the ladder for taller projects with this in place.
