drywall stilts

[derrick1623]

call me crazy, everyone else has... but i bought some drywall stilts that adjust from 18-30 inches off the ground, so i no longer have to drag a ladder around, and go up and down it during new construction rough ins.

i thought, and still think that its a damn good idea, i have been practicing on them, and am pretty used to them now.


btw, graingers, 306 bucks...eek

Those are the only way to go. Have you goten good going up and down stairs with them on??? Now that is fun

i haven't had a chance to try around stairs, but i have a feeling it will be tricky.

I also used stilts years ago.

I found them useful for putting registers and grilles on.

I had planned to purchase a set of those stilts for when I had to set lay-in registers in drop ceilings. Found out I didn't need them much since all the ceilings I worked through were at 8 feet from the floor. I just reached up, grabbed the flex drop, tied it on and set the register in place. I was moving twice as fast as the guys hauling ladders around. May still get a set for those higher than 8' ceilings, they're a great tool for those type installs.
