This sounds stupid, but, I've waited all year for black Friday just for this. I regretted not buying 2or 3 more of these last year when they were on this sale. What a great little platform.

I bought one of those a year or so ago. Never use it.
If I'm cutting in and moving fast, I use my 2' ladder. If I need a platform to stand on for a bit, I usually use my small 4' scaffold. Just never found a decent use for this little platform. It is a hassle to open and close, and not easy to move with one hand.

I dunno, sounds a bit much. A 12x12x8 room you would need 12 of em. 200 bucks just to walk around a room to gain a few feet does not sound all that great. Just the setup and taking em down would take longer then just moving a 4' around.

I'm 6'2 and can cut 8' ceilings with out a ladder

Xmark, speaking for myself, I'm not offended. I think nearly everyone here on PT has developed a system that works for their outfit. For instance, I've tried using the small rolling tower that Oden posted about. It didn't work well for us and our approach, but it obviously works for a lot of other guys. EDIT: even TJ, apparently.

We picked up the first one of these for a very specific job. After that, we found that we were using it more and more, so we picked up another.

I'm thankful for that every day, not just today.

It does make it more work when I just need to hire someone for the day....

EDIT: Unfortunately, that's also how far away the real paint store is.
