Summary: Works great with the $69 16' ladder from walmart
Comment: I needed to created a secure way to access my roof for putting together my 2008 Christmas light show. This included bringing up numerous 60lb sandbags and a giant 8' tall rooftop star.

With a $69 16' walmart extension ladder and this stabilizer ... it was a fabulous combination. This sits right on my roof (not the gutter) and makes the ladder very stable. I have made many trip up and down in no time because of the added confidence this stabilizer gives me.

It goes on and off very easily and is a cheap investment in greatly improved safety on your ladder. Highly reccomended. Does not seem to fit a A-frame ladder, so must be an extension ladder.

Summary: Werner QuickClick Stabilizer AC78
Comment: The ladder stablizer came in the mail very quickly. It was packaged very well and was very easy to put together on the top rung of my extension ladder. The part, however,was a bit too long not allowing the ladder to retract fully (slide togther to its original shortest length - i.e now one rung larger). Even with that inconvience, the part worked as described on the internet. It was very convient to take apart and put together. One problem though. I had the ladder flat on my roof during the day causing the rubber tips to "partially melt" and become somewhat deformed. And now do not hold to the ends of the stablizer very well. Will need duck tape to hold the tips to the ladder.

Summary: Convenient, well made
Comment: I bought this ladder stabilizer, to help when I cleaned the aluminum gutters on my house. I've had issues before where my ladder would dent the gutters when put against them. This stabilizer did a fair job of keeping the ladder away from the gutters, with the stabilizer arms pushing against the roof, but it would have been nice if the standoff distance was a little greater, or better yet, if the arms were adjustable for different situations. The plastic arm caps were too soft and got cut pretty fast. They should have been made out of a harder material, I had to duct tape the caps on to protect them. The stabilizer's pluses,though, outweigh it's negatives. Easy to install or remove. Real value compared with other models I looked at, that probably wouldn't have worked as well as this one.

Summary: Good, but rubber feet could be better
Comment: I purchased this after I had the roofing company repair my gutters. The workers had this stabilizer on the ladders and rested them on the roof. This enabled a large angle as to avoid the landscaping in the front of my house.

In using them, I realized that in that position (which is probably not the intended use) the feet tend to slip off. As another reviewer mentioned I am going to try to glue mine although the feet are a wearing item and are sold separately.

All in all this was a good purchase.

Summary: A must for tall ladders.
Comment: I bought this after trying to climb a 26' ladder and deciding to go down at 1/2 height as it felt like a pure suicide.

The stabilizer fit on my generic ladder wihtout any problem (it is designed to fit onto many different types of steps and locking mechanism is very well designed).

The only beef I have with it is that rubber ends detach way too easy. They feel off twice on me in one day and you have to folder the ladder to re-attach them since once off, they expose sharp metal edges. I will be gluing mines in since I don't see any reason for them to not be permanent anyway.

The stabilizer also comes with a hook as well, you can move the hook to either side of stabilizer.
