Good grief GJ, I don’t know why I haven’t purchase one of these before. Working on my back porch doing what those framers should have done. I made many trips up/down my 6’ ladder. Killing my knees and ankles to point I have take many breaks, by end of day I am in pain. Well I seen this at Lowe’s figure give it try. Wow having a 4’ work platform so I could reach few more joist in a trip. Verses two joists to one trip up ladder. Well it’s still not cure all, still take few breaks and I still hurt little at end day. But I got more done and in the voice of James Brown “ I few Good” just random post

Mine isn't as fancy, but I have had a gorilla platform for years that is super useful. It was a little too tall for the combo of my height (6'4") and the ceilings in my last house (7'6"), so I cut the legs and reriveted the supports and hinges.

I have a pair of them. When I've painted, I have a helper move the one I just finished using ahead of the one I'm on, and can cut in the whole room without having to get down. I've also used the pair of them to hold a plank for a longish scaffold.

I like your thinking, I ask if Santa could bring just one more

I have a similar one and it has proving itself worthy, use it quite a bit.
After a couple of house painting jobs I had to power wash it to get all the paint off of it so it would fold decent again.

The other thing that surprised me with how much I use it is the Keter folding table.
It has proven itself super handy working on the kid's houses.

Work platforms along with folding tables, work benches, mini scaffolding, ladders, ladder platforms, and lighting always seem to be the underappreciated tools. I think I am over sketchy work ergonomic situations and working off the ground when I don't need to.

Genius stuff right here. You can bet I'll be borrowing a second platform to go with mine next time I have to paint my 10' walls.
