LADDER STABILIZING TOOL

摘要

A ladder stabilizing tool for use with an extension ladder may include a U-shaped brace coupled to a ladder grasping member. A pair pivotable of feet may be attached to the ends of U-shaped brace permitting the stabilizing tool to secure an extension ladder to a roof at any slope between zero and ninety degrees. The grasping member has a pair of tapered supports configured to fit within the apertures formed in the rails of an extension ladder. The stabilizing tool ensures stability of the ladder for the safety of an operator, while further providing clearance from any gutter attached to housing fascia.
