Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use these on a gravel surface? I'd like to use these to repaint my boat, which is currently parked in a gravel boatyard. ?

That is dependent on your health-care coverage. It's difficult enough to use these- In comparison to shoes, your feet are unable to sense the surface. If you mean washed or crushed loose stone, then gravel is what you're looking for. Then no, it'd be a waste of time to double the risk. If you mean real gravel that is hard-packed, level, and free of any loose material, it isn't much riskier than a floor. However, I believe a good ol' ladder would be far safer in this situation.

How much do the stilts weigh?

The stilts have a weight limit of 228 pounds. Each pair of stilts weighs 6 lbs 4 oz.

Is it possible to buy them as a set?

They are, in fact, a duo. For the price, it's not too bad.

How much weight do those zancos carry?

The limit is 228 libras; if you go over that, you won't be able to do it.

For the do-it-yourselfer, it's well worth it! That's exactly what I needed to get started on my drywall mudding
5/5

I'm a do-it-yourselfer, so I didn't need to spend $300 on drywall stilts that were "professional" grade. I was able to find a video on YouTube that really helped me figure out how to fit and use them. I was able to walk around my basement without difficulty after the second time I used them. Because I don't have to climb up and down a step ladder every two minutes, these have saved me a lot of time. I'd have needed to move 3 feet. You should be able to use these if you have any kind of coordination. I also plan on using them to hang Christmas lights and possibly paint our first-floor vaulted ceilings. My only "issue" with them is that the foot plate on which you actually stand doesn't completely support my feet, so after about 90 minutes of use, my feet begin to ache, but it's tolerable. br>If you're a do-it-yourselfer like me and only need them for a few projects, these are well worth the money, and they're not that expensive to begin with.

For the do-it-yourselfer, it's a good deal
5/5

These stilts aren't professional-grade, and they're unlikely to withstand the demands of a 9-to-5 job. The biggest complaint I have with them is that the feet leave black marks on a tile floor, but if you have a small job to do, have occasional work requiring stilts, or do the parade gig, they will serve you fine. It's not difficult to clean up, but it's still an annoyance. Overall, they're sturdy, and having worked in stilts before, I had no trouble walking with them for several hours at a time. However, getting them properly adjusted is critical for comfort and safety, and it's best done with the assistance of a second person. Otherwise, you're going to have to fight them. a dozen or more times until they're perfect. Take your time getting them adjusted, I'll say it again: take your time. Fine-tuned, or you won't feel balanced, your feet will fall asleep, you'll get blisters, and you'll be unhappy. Make certain to double-check. Before you put them on, tighten all of the hardware. To put them on and take them off, you'll need to sit on something sturdy, so plan ahead. sturdy.

Why hadn't anyone told me about such a simple solution for moving ladders around rooms? Holy Cow! I can't believe I've never had one of these in my adult life; why didn't anyone tell me there was such a simple solution for moving ladders around rooms? I'll use these for our home remodeling project, which includes a lot of ceiling work, but I'll also use them for painting and anything else that necessitates the use of a mid-sized screwdriver
5/5

a ladder of different heights They were quick to arrive, and there was almost no learning curve. I took a few minutes to walk around before getting down to business. I keep a ladder on hand to keep all of my tools at the appropriate height.

This is my first pair of stilts, and they are very easy to adjust
4/5

They walk with their legs crossed in a bow shape. For $80, you'll use them more than step ladders on the job. They were used for nearly two weeks in a row. I'm a big drywaller, weighing in at 300 pounds.

THIS IS A LIFESAVER! I LOVE THESE STILTS (CAME AS A PAIR GREAT PRICE) SORRY FOR THE YELL CAPITALS there I was working on three big rooms spackling ceilings (yikes spackle dry second coat then dry then finally sand down for customer) without these stilts it would have taken me two hours with the stupid ladder for three 4 by 8 ft sheetrock spackle I could have died by then i finished the three rooms today in about seven hours still need to finish One flaw is that the company provided incorrectly sized bolts for the feet
5/5

Fortunately, I am handy and drilled through and replaced the bolts myself. Other than that, these stilts ROCK! People also complain about loose straps, which I addressed (thanks to the reviewers who encouraged me to read on so I could arrive at the job site prepared). JUST DUCT TAPE AROUND THE STRAPS AND IT WORKS SUPREMO!.

This is a must have! These drywall stilts were purchased in the hopes of making my dry walling project go more smoothly
5/5

They were successful! It's simple to put them on, but standing in them can be difficult. You should be sitting on something more substantial than a chair. The quality appears to be satisfactory, but I have no prior experience with stilts. They only needed a little tweaking to get them to fit correctly. I'm six feet tall, and my head was about four inches below the eight foot ceiling with the stilts on the lowest setting. These stilts allowed me to reach the ceiling without having to bend over to look up. My house's fascia boards were also painted with them. Because I didn't have to climb up and down a ladder all the way around the house, I was able to finish the painting much faster. I wish I had bought these much sooner!.

Excellent value for money
5/5

In most cases, you get what you pay for; however, you get more in this case! br>br>I've been finishing drywall for 15 years, so I think I know a thing or two about stilts (Dura stilts $360ish are some of the best out there, Warner stilts $360ish). I can't justify $350 for stilts, so I bought warner before they broke after 8 years (never let people borrow your tools) and now I have a tall set of tool pro, which walk a little funny for no apparent reason! When stepping, the left leg pulls out to the left, which is extremely irritating. br>br>However, these stilts walk fine and are of comparable quality to Warner stilts at a cost of over $100 less. br>br>so low-cost, high-quality Shipping was extremely quick! You're the one who gets to make the final decision. br>br>I just set them up and will be working with them for the next week. I'm hoping they hold up.

and discovered that these were reasonably priced and received positive feedback
5/5

The stilts were simple to put together (though not without some difficulty). I'm a do- I'm not a do-it-yourselfer and have never worn stilts before, but I've been doing some drywall work recently and was tired of having to move ladders every time I needed to move. On a whim, I looked up the cost of stilts and discovered that these were reasonably priced and received positive feedback. The stilts were simple to put together (not too difficult), and once you got used to them, they were fairly easy to maneuver in. Getting on and off the stilts was the most difficult part for me, but once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze. These are exactly what I was looking for, and I'm pleased with my purchase.
