Customer Reviews for Werner Short-Body Extension Ladder Jack

Very good product for the job

Used maybe 2 times and just found after using this bolt fell to the floor as it completely sheared in half.

I bought two. The first went together ok, a load bearing shoulder bolt sheared on the second while tightening. Brought it back, bought another, same thing happened. Please stop using cheap, cast bolts and crappy lock nuts. Highly uninspiring in a product meant to keep me safe.

Just out of the box, never even used, and the shoulder bolt BROKE upon assembly! A bolt of this size should never break like that. if that happened while up on a ladder, you could be killed or seriously hurt and that is not ok! Read the reviews here and on Werner's website and you will see many people writing in about this problem. Typically Werner has a good name, but something has changed if this is happening...either a different manufacturer (currently they are made in Mexico) or a different, cheaper material being used. If you call Werner, they will ship you out a new replacement hardware kit, which includes all the hardware needed for 2 ladder jacks.

Doing its job.

Bought a pair of these today, brought them home and began assembly, the shoulder bolts and "lock nuts" are a joke, cheap Chinese hardware that serves a pretty critical role. On assembling the shoulder bolt and nut on which the platform support arm pivots with a spanner and 1/4" socket wrench the bolt itself sheared off! I guess I should be thankful it happened during assembly and not while I was 10' in the air!! I've never sheared a bolt with a small socket wrench.... I'm shocked that the included hardware in a sixty-five-buck assembly required device is so cheap, is it really worth the five or ten cents Werner saved vs. buying some actual quality hardware.

Very good jack. Safety features built into it. A little spendy but well worth it I feel.

Bought ladder jacks and werner walk board to repair and replace soffit and repair rafters. Having fallen off a six foot ladder 30 years ago, i didn't want a repeat. Was able to secure walk board, but wanted to be safe prying off old boards. Bought two more ladder jacks and a two by four to bolt together to use as a safety bar. Worked like a champ!

Equipment difficult to assemble / parts were missing as it had been purchased and a previous attempt was made to assemble / I have purchased other ladder jacks from different manufacturers pre assembled that worked as intended and designed

I bought this is to run scaffold in a stair well with 17’ ceilings. I rest the one end of the scaffold plank on a ladder at the upper floor and the other on the ladder jack. The ladder jack adjusted to level at the angle of the ladder and was plenty strong to hold me and the scaffold. It made the job a lot easier than trying to set a 16’ ladder on the stairs

It takes two to make it work. Only one in a box, not readily noted/ labeled. Guess I was in a hurry and read a "2" which indicated "for a 2 rung ladder".

Easy to assemble! They work well

Well made ladder jack for wide planks.

The ladder jacks worked absolutely flawless. It was the the Werner extendable scaffolding that was the issue. Unable to fully extend it completely so the ladder jacks became paper weights unfortunately

Works well. Sturdy and easily adjustable.

Best bang for your buck. Only a few bucks more than a 2 rung. well worth the money. Held 2 men and multiple bundles of shingles on a 19" wide 16' long aluminum pick along with multiple bundles of shingles. Only used for one job so can not speak to longevity.

To expensive for just 1!!!!!!!

Works like it should!! not much more to say,

Worked as advertised
