I appreciate trying to make a ladder safer, but gutters are not strong. I don't care if the gutter gets damaged, I just mean that even though the ladder is clamped to a gutter, that doesn't mean the ladder is secure.
Was thinking the same. It's not just the weakness of the gutters either, but also the gutter spikes and the wood they're hammered into. Have seen gutter failures from ladders being tied off on them (and the accidents that resulted by the failures).
I also agree but I think it’s meant to stop your ladder from sliding from side to side but the gutter won’t protect you if thhe ladder falls back since it’s that weak
On below posts, there has been some criticism on the ladder clamp. I own a construction company and had a ladder blow sideways in a strong wind. No one was hurt, but I did buy one of these items. It is not intended to keep people from shaking it hard back and forth as was depicted in the video. It keeps the ladder secured to the building in the case of strong winds, one leg settling/sinking into the ground a little, and it does help employees with the transition of going from roof to ladder. Just some real world feed back. I use it for my 40’ extension.
Op has obviously no gutter experience. The clamp is a safety hasard. No experienced constitution worker will lean a ladder against a roof. There's no point of damaging a gutter to get on a roof. No one in the gutter trade would support this device. There's a reason they make stand outs - stand offs. Only hacks would use this. A gutter is not designed to hold a person's weight. Period. Only inexperienced people would argue. I couldn't tell you how many spikes I've pulled out by hand. How many runs I've just yanked down removing the old. How many dents I've seen from people putting a ladder on a gutter, even when they think they're being smart putting something soft in between. Gutters are not made to support a person!!!!
@Squirrel Leader what the hell is a constitution worker, as a construction worker I've leaned a ladder against many gutters, after many years I've still never had a problem (probably because I do it right), so get off your self righteous high horse Karen
@wsf wsf when the work is scheduled, you do it... only excuse to avoid the job is lightning... A clamp to prevent ladder falling over is a good product.
Ladders shouldn’t be touching the gutters at all during access to avoid potential damage as guttering has very little load bearing strength. That’s why I carry stand off bars that attach to the ladder tops and support off brickwork etc…the only way to be sure is to fix an eyelet into mortar and rope your ladders in place.
As many agreed here, the gutter is probably weak. A secure connection to a weakness takes away from your reaction time. Just use a bungee, it gives time to react to side to side slip. For those that are using a product to keep the ladder from falling back while on it, the ladder was too short.
Sometimes when carrying materials of the ladder you don't want to have to move around the top of the ladder so it's better to have it fastened basically as you can just walk right up on the roof or up on the surface you're going to
But you're not wrong it should be four to five runs above the plane and standing at the bottom you should be able to stand with your feet at the bottom step reaching out with your arms straight in front of you and touch one of the rooms of the ladder level arms level I mean
9:00 -- I have one of these that was made by DeWalt. I got it maybe 6 years ago. I used it when screening in my back porch, and I found it invaluable for speed and convenience. Drill the hole... counter-sink it... then drive the screw. That used to be three distinctly different steps, where it actually made sense to -- no joke -- buy three different drills, because otherwise you'd be swapping between bits on each screw. At any rate, Kreg isn't the only manufacturer of this tool, and it isn't a new tool, either.
It's not designed to SUPPORT a fall...It's designed to prevent the ladder from sliding side to side or pulling away and CAUSING a fall as your transitioning from the roof to the ladder.
I can see spike-ease being quite the tool for anyone wanting to derail trains. Hopefully they are not available to the public. Someone that motivated though would likely create their own version.
great content: the problem with cool tools and inventions is the MSRP, nobody has a poor in mind. they all just want that money. that is why I and many others like knock-off companies.. the knock-offs may not be as good, and some better, but the thing is they are cheap enough for a poor to buy.
The Hilti product is meant to stop fire and smoke spread through firewalls, not really for climate control. Those tubes seal when it gets hot in a fire, and prevent fire from traveling through for several hours
I work in construction and I love these videos. Some of these items are kind of ridiculous, but a lot of them are very practical a few of them. I actually want to buy.
I used to have to climb on people's roof and my consideration to the home owner was to not scratch up and bend their gutters. Good idea here but I prefer ladder jacks spread wide on the actual roof. That new fangled Sawzall? I better get one. I already have 3 different types in my collection? The 4 inch roller is a mystery? My wrist does EXACTLY what this contraption does. Save a wrist and buy this thing. The Kreg Quick-Flip looks like a tool to have. The Fiber Optic strippa looks like a fine and useful tool. I would have one even though I don't need it. Be the first on my block principle! Spike Ease is a back saver. I seen a machine that rode on the tracks and it could reach over, grab a tie and shove it under the tracks so precisely. I watched for about 10 minutes, pretty awesome.
Thank you for switching to Metric but also keeping Imperial units on the video. I believe this helps cross referencing and hopefully ease the conversion to Metric one day.
Do NOT mean a ladder against a gutter! Professionals will lean it with extenders against the side of the building. It would damage & break the gutters which could cause the ladder & person to fall & could cause death!
NOBODY who works with tools would use a SAW to remove those nails. They would use a claw hammer and just pull them out. There are circumstances in which one would cut nails with a saw, but not in the one shown.
When we were hanging drywall in areas after demo, we would cut any excess of nails sticking out. Time is money and nobody has the time to pull each nail out, so we cut them off.
Brick tongs 3:07 have been around since 1925 (at least that's when they were patented). 98 years later, they're not exactly a novel idea. They're hardly what I'd call a "cool tool". Yes, they're useful... for their intended purpose. But they're only a "must buy" tool if you're actually a brick layer. Same goes for most of these tools. They're only useful if you're in a very specific line of work. And if you are in such a specific line of work, you're almost certainly not watching youtube videos to find out what tools you should be using.
Ez-path over Hilti sleeves. The opening of Hilti sleeves and not closing them means the fire protection is missing and easy to forget. In applications like hospitals they will get checked by joint commission and heavy fines occur if they are left open. There is no closing an ez-path it just works.
instead of the gutter clamp get a few helium balloons as they are more dependable 😁 The clamp should grab the eve of the roof and the roof it self at the truss below and SCREWED IN
I had to laugh at the gutter clamps. Do you think I’m going to put my faith and life on those things? Ha! You’d be better off tying a string around the ladder. It’s the same concept.
? Hmm... all the tracks I see still use spikes, but even if correct, the tool should speed up the switch to spikes. Now... I dont know who watching this video would need a railroad spike removal tool...
@@whochecksthis Well it's time to "update" those tracks because I cannot find a single spike on railroad tracks here (even those old abandoned tracks here have screws instead of spikes)
2:12 ... Imagine if it could put temporary holes in the wall that go away as soon as you remove it (like in magic tricks and cartoons). That would be one of the most useful devices ever invented. I'm certain it's possible, but I doubt we'll see it in the next 20 years. You never know with science though. Many inventions were once thought to be impossible (if not most modern inventions, like TV, computers, music/video players and electricity altogether... and cars, airplanes and possibly even glass at one point in time.
I enjoy looking at these videos but most of the items covered are not new or practical but you never know when the perfect idea could surface! Their railway spike remover got my interest today. I don’t know much about railway spike removal but this unit is driven by a cordless drill. Between spike removals I assume one has to reset it back to the start position which takes time and was not shown. I think the old fashion prybar approach would be as quick if not quicker and weigh about the same as this contraption and not need a power supply?
Ummmm the guy taking off the ladder safe thing broke rule number one. 3 points of contact on the ladder. His safety tool required him to use both hands to secure it to his waist so very unsafe 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
"Mini jumbo roller"😂 I have/use a similar debarker for making fence posts. I also know people with small mills who use them to save wear and tear on their blades. I also have been using battery powered Sawzalls for about 30 years.
What do you think people do for a living that these "are really worth buying"? I have a panel carrier and a saws-all, because I'm a normal human being, but I guess the next time I need to un-spike some rail road ties...
I appreciate trying to make a ladder safer, but gutters are not strong. I don't care if the gutter gets damaged, I just mean that even though the ladder is clamped to a gutter, that doesn't mean the ladder is secure.
I came here to post similar.
Why wouldn't one just use vice grips. It's a stupid product
Was thinking the same. It's not just the weakness of the gutters either, but also the gutter spikes and the wood they're hammered into. Have seen gutter failures from ladders being tied off on them (and the accidents that resulted by the failures).
I also agree but I think it’s meant to stop your ladder from sliding from side to side but the gutter won’t protect you if thhe ladder falls back since it’s that weak
I was just saying that the load would only be what the gutter can hold not the ladder or the clamp. That's the weakest link.

No
The Debarker at 04:03 is just what I need for the wife's toenails.
Reciprocating saw? Ooooooooooohhhhh!! This is Jetson's Space Age stuff here.
Next up -- The Cordless Screwdriver.
Been painting 40 years and I can’t think of a possible use for the angled mini roller that I couldn’t do with a regular one.
Industrial steelwork touchups maybe. Cheap enough to throw in the kit. I have one that accepts a brush and it's saved a lot of time over the years.
The only difference is - you are not making money by selling the angled version.
thats too bad, if you thought of it, you could have been selling them, making money and retired 20 years ago😊

Have you not heard of countersinking screws?
What freaking genius came up with the idea to clamp the ladder to the gutter that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.😮
Yes, they are as sturdy as tinfoil.
The market has gone insane.$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Problem with the gutter clamp is the gutter will not support that much weight in a fall. You just wind up dragging crap down on top of you.
It's not designed to SUPPORT a fall...It's designed to prevent the ladder from sliding side to side or pulling away and CAUSING a fall as your transitioning from the roof to the ladder.
At the 9:00 mark, that drill driver set is pretty much the same as the Makita kit I bought 30 years ago.
I think Milwaukee makes every kind of tool imaginable for people who hate to work hard but need too work harder
Wow. This did not go as I expected

Ladder gutter clamp is a sure fire way to break the seam seals especially the corner seals.

Someone should send a few hundred of the rail track spike removal tool to the Ukrainians. I'm sure that they would find a good use for them!

Worth buying really 😂
Some neat stuff there, but those prices are ridiculous!
Railway “spikes” are so 19th Century. Pandrol clips are the future
You don't set ladders on the gutters!!
Now you have an ER visit and have to replace a vinyl gutter held on with 10 wood screws.
I like them all
Love the loud and annoying "noise" at the beginning of your vids. What a nice welcome......
Love the ladder lock device, the guy installs and removes it AT THE ROOF!!
Obviously no gutter experience....☝️
Pretty cool combination using chainsaw and having a shaver in one tool very brilliant idea nice combo
im sure it will take the skin right off your leg too

Sure IT can withstand 100kg but that flimsy ass guttering ain't going to hold a feather 😂😂😂
You don't put ladders on rain gutters. (33 years of ladder experience)

lol ladder tips over so does the gutters ..... nota good choice

$164 for those ladder clamps! I can just use ordinary c-clamps with a couple pieces of wood for $10 and be just as safe!
A painters ladder stabalizer setting on the roof protects gutter and is very stable
*machines are amazing*
These are some neat tools but awfully expensive.
Great vid, keep it up guys!
You never put ladders against, or clamp onto, gutters. Gutters are not made for that.
Use a "ladder stabilizer" against side of house or roof.

Don't trust a gutter. The header board maybe rotten and pull off.

Good video. I need a couple of these.
American code prevent using strippers by twisting them around a wire. It leave a groove & weakens it & is a FAIL point!
very expressive keep it
For the ladder we always use a bungy cord. Hook into the gutter, wrap around a rung hook on the gutter again.
The gutter clamp is the dumbest idea. I had the gutter break on my 2 stories up and landed flat on my back on top of the ladder.
The painting roller looked like you couldn’t get any pressure

I’ve been looking for a good spike removal tool!

How much weight does a gutter hold not a hundred pounds lol.
