What happens here

A ladder hook is a useful accessory that comes with the 3M hand masker (or can be purchased separately). To attach it, align the ladder hook's prongs with the two designated holes on the masker's handle. Insert the prongs through the holes until they click into place. The speaker recommends securing the ladder hook permanently by wrapping 3M 2020 masking tape around the masker's handle and the base of the ladder hook. This prevents the hook from sliding or coming off, which can happen with the standard rubber band often supplied. Ensure the tape is wrapped tightly and smoothly for a comfortable and secure grip. You'll typically wrap about two layers of tape for optimal security and grip. The ladder hook allows you to conveniently carry the hand masker in a front or back pocket while working, keeping your hands free.

Goal: Permanently attach the ladder hook to the hand masker for ease of use.

to set up a 3M head masker. In this video, we're going to be showing you how I actually set up a 3M M3000 hand masker to have a ladder hook or to use it to hook onto my backpack's pockets. I like to have these ladder hooks so I can carry around my hand masters on my pockets. And the handmaster actually comes with a wire device that looks like this. And what this device is is actually a ladder hook. And I take my hand masker and it's came out of the package just like this. You're going to take this hook ladder hook and you're going to put it on your hand masker and it fits on the handle inside these rails right here. And I actually like the the ladder hook to actually be pointing in the same direction as the hand masker like this. Either straight or off to the side just like that. And the master will hang in your pocket and straight down just like that. Then I actually take 3M 2020 tape and I'm going to take tape to actually keep this ladder hook on your 3M hand masker permanently. It actually comes with a rubber band, but the rubber band actually slides up and down and the ladder hook will actually come off pretty easy. So, so I'm going to continue taking tape. Now, I like how the actual tape feels on my hand. And the tape actually will last on here for several years. Just keep taking tape, pulling it off. We're going to cover that whole wire that goes down the handle. Continue doing that. If you have inch and a half tape, inch and a half tape will go a little bit faster, but I don't want any wrinkles in the tape. I want it to be nice and smooth cuz you're going to be using these things all day long. So, you want the grip to feel nice and smooth in your hand. And I'll usually put about two layers of tape on that thing that it's got a nice good grip on it. And this ladder hook is not going to come off. Now then the last step, you just take your blade just like this. And I'm I'll be using 1 in or 1 and 1/2 in tape. And that's the first two holes. The inch one inch tape uses the second hole over. And the hand masker has a little spring-loaded pin right there that actually goes into the hole. We'll just take snap that right into place. And the hand masker is set up and ready to load up with your tape or paper plastic.
