The Hangtight will Benefit Anyone Who Uses Extension Ladders
A pretty cool new ladder accessory came across our radar recently – the Hangtight Extension Ladder Tool Hanger. The guys have been buzzing about the possibilities of how they would use this to make the jobsite safer and easier to work on. We thought choosing the right ladder was the end of the decision-making process—now it seems we may start looking into helpful ladder accessories.
The Hangtight tool hanger allows tradesmen and homeowners to easily and securely hang tools, tool bags, buckets, or paint cans from extension ladders. This hook-like tool hanger is lightweight, compact, and designed to be durable. The accessory is rated to securely hold up to 35 lbs (15 kg) of weight. The Hangtight hook can be installed on either side of an extension ladder. It’s designed to fit all modern Louisville or Werner extension ladders and many others—we can’t wait to try it out on a Little Giant SumoStance extension ladder we have around the offices.
“The Hangtight ladder accessory is a great product for pros and homeowners that work between the ground and the roof. You can take the weight off of yourself while you’re working from the ladder. If something happens that forces you to stop, like needing to refill paint or cleaning solution, you don’t have to take all the accessories down with you. Most importantly when that happens, you’ll be able to climb with two hands available.”
