The Hangman - MADE IN USA

[woodstockva]

Hey everybody

I just reviewed a pretty unique accessory for an extension ladder that is from a small company & is made 100% in the USA. It is called "The Hangman", and it acts as a 3rd arm when you are on an extension ladder & can hold up to 35lbs with no issues.

The design of it allows you to not only hold paint cans, but also tools, bags, or whatever else you need when you are working high off of the ground. In the video I show some examples that I thought of, but I am sure there are many more that would fit other situations.

It is made out of machined aluminum, and feels extremely well-built. Check the video out to see it for yourself.

Seems to do little which a welding rod bent to make a rung hook won't achieve.

Cool idea. I would consider one for $20

A full 5 gallon bucket of drywall compound weighs 47 lbs.
Junk

Great idea and the price definitely reflects the amount of machining/choice of material that they are using but I think they could have cut the cost and made it simpler/cheaper. I am sure the people who will buy it will love it though.

Great product. Where can you buy one?

The billet aluminum looks cool, but they could do a cast or composite tool with the same load rating for significantly cheaper.

$100?... did it fall off the Snap On truck?

The price of these innovative accessories really makes the consumer think twice about purchasing them. I'd wait until HF makes a clone for about a 1/5 the cost.
