That's an excellent deal, thanks for sharing.

I thought so too and they are selling out in my area with a while supplies last disclaimer so if you want one jump on it. I almost bought one but realized that I really didn't need it as I have a rolling scaffold at my uncles house. I totally forgot about it as he borrowed it years ago.

Most confusing specs ever:

Adjustable : No
Assembled Depth (in.) : 48 in
Assembled Height (in.) : 6 in
Assembled Width (in.) : 12 in
Assembled depth (ft.) : 35.75
Assembled height (ft.) : 41
Base Width : 39 in

so its 41 feet high? or 6 inches high? Neither seems reasonable. how high is it really?
Is length or width the same as depth? Is it 35-3/4 feet long or 48 inches long or 39" long?

or how can it be 35 x 39 x 41 as the title states? It would be more like a cube?

[chopnhack]

I found that odd too, when I looked further online it was mentioned somewhere that its 21" high

Confusing dimensions notwithstanding, this has been one of the most useful things in our house. Just the right height for high-ish wall tasks- painting walls- cutting in edges, ceilings; mounting curtain rods, etc. It's length means fewer climbing up painting, climbing down, moving ladder cycles.

BTW, it's on Lowe's site for $22 as well.

may have to make a run Sunday after I get back from Houston.

These are soooo nice to have handy vs draggin the ladder around to do small jobs just slightly out of reach

The word is out...........went to two different HD's last night and both were sold out. Unfortunately, closest Lowes is about 90 miles away.

A bit more expensive ($99)... but if your local Rockler still has the portable scaffolding available I highly recommend it for those folks that missed out on this Werner deal. The Rockler scaffolding is about three and a half feet wide, has locking rubber casters, and has two metal shelves that can be adjusted individually to one of several heights. So you can have one shelf a foot or so off the floor (like this Werner platform) and another near the top of the scaffolding holding your paint bucket/tray and tools. REALLY handy. Or use one shelf as a stair to the higher one for jobs that need as much lift as you can get. Put both shelves low and stack heavy boxes/stuff on this thing to wheel stuff around. My local Rockler got their supply a bit before I bought a new house... I thought it was an odd item for Rockler to sell when I first saw it. Glad they still had some left once I got the house though; it's one of the most useful things I've ever purchased on a "why not, maybe it'll be useful sometime" whim. I've put mine to a LOT of use painting, re-doing trim, carting boxes around, carting a lot of lumber around, carting heavy tools I just bought at Rockler two weekends ago, etc. I've even used it to replace sawhorses while cutting trim for the new house.

The scaffolding snaps together/apart so it can be stored somewhat flat like a folding lawn chair too.

They had a stack of these at Lowes (Katy, TX) this afternoon, about 8 or more, at $22. Probably at other Lowes, too.

individually shrink wrapped, In boxes of 4-5 each along the main aisle.

Lowe's website and the local store had them at $44. Took in a copy of the HD webpage and got one for the $22 minus 10% competitor price match.

[chopnhack]

Good for you Pappy! Should have pulled out your DD214 and gotten more! :-) just kidding you already got a great deal and I am sure you will find numerous applications at your shop and maintenance.

I keep a couple of these in my work trailer & we reach for these a lot more than we do the ladders. If you have two of them, you can set a 2x10 between them for a walk board & do a lot more overhead. They are great. If you miss this sale, Lowes usually sells them for the same price during their Black Friday sale in November.

[LCHIEN]

funny, walked thru lowe's again today and they were still there, labeled $44. Go figure.

I guess you have to do like Pappy - bring a copy of the HD web page to Lowes and ask for a PM (price match).
