    I bought a Gorilla 19 ladder on ebay, arranged to go to Sydney on Saturday to get it. Have received messages from the husband demanding I pay to his account first and that under NO circumstances am I to pay cash to his wife when I pick it up (from her place which I guess WAS their place). He has stated he will lodge a non-payment complaint with ebay blah, blah..... I've sent both him & her texts saying they can keep the bloody ladder....really p!ssed off as I wanted it!

    you're right there courty; I wanted the 19 for the extra length - you don't see them for sale anymore, not even on the Gorilla webpage

    Exactly, Bunnings listed them but I went in & they did'nt have them
    I have 3. The new ones have their rungs rivetted instead of welded.
    Bailey & others do a copy of this style ladder, but Ive never seen it in the 19.
    They r fantastic, only downside is the weight if u have to repeatedly shift them particuarly in Garden beds.
    Do what u have to...........just get one!
    Cheers Fred.

    home hardware had a 19' multifunction ladder advertised (no name given) in their catalogue about 2 weeks ago i put a link up to it but i just checked and the link doesn't work anymore as the catalogue has expired but might be worth giving them a ring it was advertised as 120kg rated for $219
    : link to store locator page http://www.homehardware.com.au/home/stores.asp
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I did the same thing with the hedge trimmer, filled up the tank then went to tip it over to lube the blade with out putting the fuel cap back on.

    i asked if he had been sick as we hadnt seen him for a few weeks. the mum flabbergasted me by saying " oh i dont like going out in the evenings in winter". the lazy cow is too crap to bear driving 5 minutes in the cooler months so that her son can attend a class that he was really enjoying and getting loads out of.
    i know it takes all sorts of people to make a world but a few less of her type wouldnt hurt
