5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish I Had Bought This 30 Years Ago, August 23, 2010

I first saw this product (portable scaffold) earlier this year when we had some extensive wall and ceiling repair done prior to my painting a room. The man doing the wall/ceiling work just set his scaffold up, got his mud and smoothing knives ready and went to work. Didn't so much as use a ladder. Very, very efficient. No going up and down ladders.

Over the years, in doing interior painting jobs in the house, I have always used a ladder (9 ft. ceilings) -- going cheap. After seeing the wall guy use the scaffold, I said, "Never again". Get the right tools for the job -- get a scaffold and stop this silly ladder thing. I ordered the Werner portable scaffold a week after the wall refinishing was done, ready for painting.

The scaffold is quite ingenious in its design. It is absolutely safer and more stable than most ladders I've seen, though don't work from the top level of the scaffold. After finishing a wall or some windows, I unlock the wheels and roll it to the next work-point, relock the wheels and continue with the work. The scaffold is easy to carry (in sections) and stores compactly. Simply: I wish I had bought this scaffold 30 years ago! My married kids will now be getting portable scaffolds this Christmas.

An added plus: Amazon's price was much lower than the national big-box hardware stores here, sufficiently lower that I bought a "Amazon Prime" membership to quickly ship the scaffold, and get a year of Prime 2-day shipping service. I have been using Prime in every purchase since. Happy camper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saves time on ceilings, painting, drywall; nice work cart, August 9, 2010

This portable scaffold really saves time on projects. Instead of climbing up and down the ladder, you can simply roll on to the next area with the handy well built casters. It is narrow enough to roll through hallways, but has enough space for a 6'2", 230lb guy to stand on comfortably. It may not hold up to the wear and tear of everyday use of a contractor, but for the DIY crowd, this is nice addition to the toolset. Saw it for less than 100 at the HD.

I bought from amazon, shipped 2 days with prime. Box was beat up, but there was not a scratch on the blue frame. ( It didn't stay clean too long, but it has already been worth double the cost in time savings.)

I'm insulating my house with loosefill rockwool and this scaffold is proving to be very very handy. Sometimes I stand on it and others it's rolling along next to the ladder keeping the bag of rockwool and tools within easy reach. It has been in constant use since recieving it (extremely easy to set up) but it'll be nice to store since it takes up very little room for its size. I was concerned about a comment that the wheels bent but these are very sturdy pins that took some force to push into the legs, so it's hard to envision that happening on this one. In fact, I'm thinking of buying a second one and linking them for some upper wall work.
