does anyone use stilts. seems pretty handy to cut in a standard size room, while your other guy is cuttin in the bottom and rolling. if so whats a good size to start off with?

I have never used them for painting, but used a borrowed pair for nailspotting a drywall lid once. They were abt 20" if I remember.

Don't see them much.
I think they may not be legal here in CA???

I know a guy who uses them in his plaster company and I've seen 1 painter use them, but not too many guys out there are. I'd say 20" seems about right-but obviously it depends on the height of the ceiling and how tall you are.

Just be careful, they are akward at first and I wouldn't recomment using them on finished floors.

New construction, crown molding, you can save huge time, caulking putty, and painting, i used to watch carpenters hang crown with them on.:thumbsup:

Repaints, I wouldnt worry with them myself.

I have thought about using them but just never have. I have a painter friend of mine that uses them.

Stilts are NOT legal in California per Cal-OSHA, check out the link:

but that are legal in some states, so you'll need to check with your state regulatory office.

Have a great day!

I've used them quite a bit and they are pretty handy once you get the hang of them.

Have in the past. But I don't anymore because of my knees

Ditto...

I used to love them for commercial jobs. I could run around the grid in half the time and still bend over to refill my work pot sitting on the ground. I have wanted to get another pair and use them when I can but had the knee cut on last year and I am a bit leary of hearing my wife wear me out with the "should of known better" speil
