Thor-Stand Ladder Leveler Promises to End Roof-Hanging Hijinx

I bought a ladder leveler from Home Depot nine years ago, kind of like this one, and it cost me around $40 not $320. Works fine. This particular one costs around $90:

I've been using these for years with no problems. The Thor looks like a non starter. I don't think people that have to climb ladders for a living are going to want to fight their way through vegetation with one of those giant things on the bottom.

They have actually come up with a version of those that you don't have to plug into the wall, old timer.

Who are you kidding??????????

How could it possible work with no wires????

Do you take me for a fool???

Its true!

They even have cameras now that can work as a phone if play around with its options long enough!

I wish the political comments here would be more than kneejerks.

And why should the political comments here be any different than MOST OTHER comments here?????????????????

Most political comments here are well thought out to the person making them...this forum gives us a place to vent.

You won't have a kneejerk reaction if all you do is kneel.

My political comments appear to be knee jerk, but they are based on current information as I understand it. I doubt that anyone noticed, but I sneak them in whenever I can.

And yeah, I don't have, nor want, much of a social life, so this is where I do my talking....................amongst friends. I have no expectations of having people agree with me. In fact, I enjoy the debate.

Do you think that only your political comments appear to be knee jerk???

I post from a place of make believe understanding of everything...............final answer.

_{We have a lot in common.}

tcmtech, good for you folks! Make as much $$$ as you can while you can. At least someone in this country is finally making a decent wage, no thanks to the Nobama Administration....

If it wasn't for the harsh winters out there in ND and the missile silos (ONE BIG TARGET) I'd be moving out there myself to grab some gusto!

Well so far the missile silos and ND in general have had a 100% zero bombing record since day one whereas how many people have been killed in the cities everywhere else by who knows what?

Oklahoma bombing, World trade centers, pearl harbor? need I say more?

The winters however are how we weed out the soft, the lazy, and the witness protection program people from the rest of us.

Oklahoma bombing, World trade centers, pearl harbor? need I say more?

Not in the same category. I am disgusted by Timothy McVeigh's method, but his message was valid.

I simply picked three different bombing events that happened for three different reasons in US history and not one of them ever happened in ND let alone over our missile silos.

In fact this is the worst bombing event our state has had that has even been news worthy. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/north-dakota-confronts-nasty-trucker-bomb-problem-article-1.1050862

BTW you can have your own still and never be hassled for emissions compliances on anything either. Still sound like a bad place to live?

All I'm saying, is keep it the way it is. Keep the feds out.

Between bribery and extortion, they will own you.

Wasn't that picture of the man hanging actually a prank by the home owner?

Also, the only real benefit of the thor-stand over the two alternatives mention by members is it "Broadens ladder base by 100 percent".

Yup...they sell those everywhere now
