[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 584705, member: 240839"] OK i'll give my two peneth here As Rolf & Satelliteman has said you can't go wrong with a Bosch GBH 24v. I find mine useful as you can sling it so you can just throw it round your neck when your climbing up the ladder. I also find an SDS nut runner a good idea to tighten up the wall bolts. Using your drill is definitely faster than using a spanner. I use 3 different sets of ladders , 11 rung, 13 rung and 15 rung. I get the most use out of the 13 rung ones, the 11s are too short if your working on flats, ok upto the second floor though and the 15 rung ones are too heavy and only useful if your going past the 3rd floor. A ladder stand off bracket and Ladder spurs are also a good idea With regards to safety gear you will need a 20mm eye bolt and a 5 meter ratchet strap to tie your ladders to the building, this also takes all the flex out of the ladder when your climbing it. You will need a rope to BS standard, a rocker, at least 4 lanyards, 3-4 karabiners and a good safety harness. I find the front fastening ones are the best as they are useful when working off a ladder if you need both hands :-rofl2 I got mine from Screwfix if i remember rightly. Its a snazzy bright orange and yellow one :-rofl2 Oh yes and dont forget an Expandable Shock Absorbing Lanyard, very useful when you fall off a ladder With regards to meters, i use a Rover DM16C Digimax which i think is the dogs danglies but unfortunately you won't get much change out of £2500 for a new one :eek: Mind you the older Rover DL4 aren't bad if you can get hold of one. As for the roof cat ladders a two piece ladder with lockable brackets is definately the way to go. :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
