Yawn
If anyone is looking at a Weber Genesis grill the $100 off is nice. Webers rarely go on sale and they're generally excluded from coupons.
good deal on faucets! also the ladder deals are alwaysngood!
X 2 on the ladders. The Werner work platforms alone are worth the trip. Don't think they had them on sale last year. Past years I've picked up quite a few for friends and no ones been disappointed. I like them better than the Gorilla ones HD puts on sale. YMMV.
Why do you like the Werner platforms better than the Gorillas? I need a platform and am wondering which one to buy.



Check both out in person if you can, again...YMMV.The main difference use to be the tops. The Werner has more of a grate type top, whereas the Gorilla has a "solid" top. Some might prefer the latter, but IMO Werners top has better traction.
All that said, I based my opinion on past models. It appears the Gorilla legs have been re-designed and it now folds almost totally flat and the leg locking mechanism has been changed. Not a fan of plastic parts, but I'll have to give the Gorilla another look, it might change my opinion of them.
Probably haven't been much help in helping you decide.Check both out in person if you can, again...YMMV.
Thanks for your thoughts. I think I'd like the solid top more. And the fact that the Gorilla folds almost totally flat is a plus.
Also, the Gorilla is 47.25" wide vs. the Werner at 39.5" wide.
Overall, it looks like maybe the Gorilla is the better buy now?

How is the work platform different from a standard 3-step stool? Is the platform height adjustable? I feel I need to try one myself.
You'll be fine. I've seen them hold 400 lbsI'd love a Werner platform...but my weight hovers between 225 and 230 pounds year round. I think I'll have to find something slightly more substantial.
Which Werner Model are we talking about here? There appears to be a couple of models, one being just a little over 3 feet wide.
Here's this,

Would the Gorilla be the way to go in this case because of size difference? Or should I stick with the Werner?
Thanks
Is the Gorilla available for you guys to order right now? Lowes shows ~100 of the Werners in stock at the sale price and available to order, but HD doesn't allow me to add to cart.
Same thing happening to me at Home Depot. I've got a bunch of BF items in my cart for local pickup but the site is showing every store in a 100 miles with limited quantity and won't let me put the order through. I'm hoping they release the hold at midnight. I can get it shipped, but I'd rather pick up. A few things I'd like to grab, but nothing so bad that I want to be there at 6am.
