I am a 45-year-old woman who owns a ranch style home. I need to occasionally go on the roof to remove sticks and debris from the roof and, in the fall, clean out the gutters. I also like to put up Christmas lights on the roof. I had been asking others to go on the roof for me because of my fear of going from the ladder to the roof, until I found this product. It works GREAT. I don't fear falling anymore and have used it quite a bit this fall, and to put up the Christmas lights. The only thing I would change is the length of the screws that secure the handles to the end of the ladder. The screws weren't quite long enough to tightly secure the handles to the ends of my extension ladder. Love this product. Easy to attach and detach from ladder.
