Handyman Tip - Improving Your Ladder

Al Carrell: I know what you're wondering, why is this man drilling a hole in this defenseless ladder? Well you know when you buy a step ladder, it doesn't have any accessories, no white sidewalls, no radio, no air conditioning. So, I figure that maybe you can do some things to help your ladder to become a better ladder. The reason I'm drilling holes is, this makes a great way for you to put tools up here on the top step of your ladder. And, it probably is even more effective if you have a taller ladder.

The other things that I've added to this will also help too. This is a little toothbrush holder and you can use that to hold some real small tools. You can also put one of these cup holders in here. Now the cup holder also has some places for tools, but it also has a place for a cup. So if you wanted to, you can put all the little fasteners inside here and that's a good place to keep those, or maybe if you like to have a drink while you're working. Why, you can do that too.

Now the next thing that I added to this ladder is really important. If you're carrying a full size ladder and you're walking along, it can come open, and if it does, well it can be a problem. So I put a screen door hook on there and now it can't come open accidentally and with a handle, which is nothing more than a screen door handle, I have an easy way to carry it. So you can see that a plain ladder doesn't have to be plain after all.
