June 24, 2008 at 6:10PM
More than 200,000 people are treated annually in emergency rooms for ladder-related accidents, according to safety officials. Those accidents are often caused by reaching for a paintbrush or hammer left on a lower rung.
The Professional Ladder Utility System features an attachable tool bucket, paint tray and other accessories so equipment is located at a level you can safely reach. The accessories fit any step, extension or multiuse ladder, and the tool bucket can be mounted on either side. $29.95. Available at some Home Depot, True Value and Do-It-Best stores; also available at www.proladdersystem.com or call toll free 1-866-869-8115.
