Acro's ladder hook is a must have for safety. New updated design is even stronger and folds flat. Its adjustable lock works to secure almost any ladder to your roof, and it is especially helpful when working with weak decking, wet or icy surfaces, steep pitches and chimney or antenna repairs. The reinforced rod around the hook adds strength and durability and the caster makes it easy to roll up the roof.
Q:Is there a reason that there is NO WARRANTY on this item? This is a concern to me because some have mentioned that there are heavy/rough welds. So, my safety way of thinking is: Was this welded to meet specific standards for quality and durability!

A: I have no idea about warranty, but I can tell you that this is a very well built roof hook. The welds on mine are good solid beads. Some minor spatter around one but nothing else. Overall, I rate this as an excellent hook as far as function and safety.

Welding Job Can Slice Your Hand Open
I had to grind down slag, splatter and electrode wire that was a sure hazard to the hands. As a skilled tradesman of over 4 decades, I would never hand my work off like that without taking a couple minutes to clean up sharp edges.

The welding job was sloppy. Lots of splatter and a couple extremely sharp spots that were sure to lay open someone’s hand before I ground them down. As a 40-some year tradesman, I take pride in my work. This thing left the manufacturer in a way that would not have made me proud.

Ladder Hook
Works as described to climb steep slopes. Only challenge is the hook does shift to the left/right when moving into place. I had to work a few times to get it to mount centered and to a point I was comfortable to climb onto. Very sturdy construction - probably buy it for life type quality.

This ridge hook does what it is designed for but I feel it could have been made better, The hook is made of 3/16 flat bar stock so it is plenty strong. It list a 300lb weight limit but like many other safety products, I'm sure there is a wide margin of error built in. There is a 1/2 round bar stock welded to the top curve as a support. The welds, while sufficient, look sloppy and weren't ground smooth. I'm no Certified Master Welder but I could have done a better job. Also the paint looks like it had one quick pass through the paint booth. There were areas that received little to no paint at all so expect this to rust in short order. It would have been nice to include welded tie loops for safety lines. There does not appear to be any way to secure this if it were to slip off the roof ridge which could cause a fall or cause damage when it comes off the roof. Like I said, it works.....it just could have been made better.

I had a situation where I couldn’t install the ridge-cap due to the steepness of the roof. It just wasn’t safe to crawl on it. So, I ordered this ladder hook. It came in a few days and was undamaged. The construction is welded steel which makes it very solid. It has a wheel on the “back” side of it which makes installing it over the ridge better as it does not tear up the existing shingles. The wingnut and bracket that clamps to the ladder is large and easy to tighten by hand. I was working on a 12/12 roof pitch and it held well. Admittedly, the first time I used it, I very slowly and carefully crept up to make sure it was installed properly but once I gained confidence that it was secure, any fear of this not working properly went away. As a homeowner, this is something that I will use very infrequently but it’s one of those tools that you must have if you want to safely traverse a steep roof.

This is an interesting looking item that actually works well for added safety. How it works is interesting. Just mount it to the top of your ladder with the attached wheel facing the roof. Roll the ladder up the roof to the ridgeline and then flip the ladder over to connect on the peak. Although there is no warranty, this product is a real "must have" when you need the extra support for ladder security.

This hook is huge! Like a couple of rungs on a ladder huge! It is all cast iron metal and incredibly sturdy. This will last a lifetime from the looks of it.
You just hook it up to a rung or inside the top of your ladder and you have an instant hook to place your tool belt or paint cans while using a professional grade ladder. On the side of the hook, it also has directions to use on top of a roof and how to work the wheel and top latch to level it off and make it stay in one place. For my purpose it will be used for storage bucket (holding towels, rags, hand cleaners, paint thinner sprays, tape, etc) and then the actual paint can. I like it!
While I don't quite understand these instructions and likely won't use it on a roof, it says to use on the roof, to loosen "wing nut, with the wheel on the roof roll ladder past the peak of the roof, turn ladder over so that the hook rests on the opposite side of the roof peak, the ladder (should) be flat on the roof (sic) this product is not recommended for roots with vented edges (sic) do not over load (sic) 300 pound max." I don't really know what that means, but felt it worthwhile to share.
