MUST HAVE painting tools!!! Ladder Levelers
What happens here
Consult the instruction manual to determine the correct length for the square metal rod that will be inserted into the leveler feet. Measure the distance of the ladder webbing (e.g., 7 1/8 inches), then add 2 1/2 inches as specified in the instructions (resulting in 19 5/8 inches). Mark this length on the square rod, then use a jigsaw to cut the rod precisely to the calculated length. This specific example calculation results in 19 5/8 inches, which is 17 1/8 inches + 2 1/2 inches.
Goal: Cut the metal rod to the precise length required for the leveler mechanism.
