i'm gonna unbox these stilts i got off amazon and so one particularly dear like 130 quid
and the reason i have these and the reason i have these here as well i'm just going to talk to you
about the differences basically height job we're doing is going to be really high ceilings like
the ones in here and i can't reach them with that and i'm stretching because it's a bad bad
back when you do so these ones are supposed to go up from 24 inches to 40 inches of stealth and
i'll drop these links as well if you want to check them out yourselves
but basically so they're going to go up to 40 inches
let me just measure this is my marshalltown stilts and these ones let's see what they go up to
so that goes up to 30 inches so these ones should go up to there so that's a big difference that's
you know that's nearly a lot of difference and so i'll get them unpacked here and have
to see them they might not be assembled i'll probably have to assemble them even if they're
assembled just make sure you just check the bolts so let me get them on box freeze here
try and do as quickly as i can we'll get a look at them and hopefully they're good quality
it actually says this way up
so kms brands they give me five percent off switzer
all right so yeah they're not fully assembled anyway so
that's the heels guys that's the heated part and let me see
and
so the word black in the picture there's still are black but it's like a creamy color
so i'll just keep keep getting them out here quickly just to see what way if you've bought
them yourselves one way you get and i have brand new straps for this job i probably will
swap these straps over because they're just complete comfort
like the comfort from them is just unreal so that's three sides stabilizing bars
trying to take them out gently here
so
that's the beginning still there guys so you don't have to do major meters setting up
but what we'll do here quickly before i set them up i'm not going to do a mod video on setting them
up and if anybody actually wants to do that there is instructions with them but if anybody wants
that for you let me know and i'll disassemble them and reassemble them for you so just want to
take the bolts out and i'm going to make sure that they go up to the well already you can see
that's the foot and so that's where my foot will be and you can see already the difference i've got
there alone that's these ones set up there so there's already a nice bit of a gap there and
they do look a bit wider as well so that should give more stability when you're up high but i'll
get them all set up here and we'll get a quick look at them when they're set up that same belt
as you can see there and that's the difference between the big fully adjusted one that's
the height it's like right off the bat hip so what's that this is three foot four foot up and
and the smaller one which is pretty big i'm gonna measure it here as well because it said
it was 40 inches so let's find out
yeah it's 40 40 spot on so they are what they say they are which is good to know i'm sure they want
to get pulled if not but i just want to show yous again quickly that's that's fully adjusted
on these ones from amazon and these marshalltown ones this one's fully adjusted
so there's a massive massive difference there guys like
difference is unreal so this is really going to come in handy for them bigger shadings
you would not want to be going any higher than that on stilts but that's the difference there and
take them to fully height i hate adjusted ones away and this is the two that are fully down not
as much as of a difference but there's still about six inches of a difference so you know definitely
definitely gonna be if you're doing a bigger job and i had a quick walk on them feel ground
although i think with me at the big lad he's going to keep on in big scenes for me so if he's maybe
we clip that house and a big lad just going to turn away and knock all them scenes out there too
just by the javiers and we're talking about stilts wanna run through sort of what's warranted our own
stilts and also some things that i've broken were placed on other stilts i had some silver
stilts before these ones long time ago and but i'll quickly run through so weren't her these
pads do you tend to rip off you can see actually don't even have one and sort of just deteriorate
over time and this strap was an add-on that i got off amazon they don't seem to sell them
anymore otherwise i bought loads but basically these stops straps to fray as you can see that
it should actually replace them but it still goes around the foot but if it frays further
down you should replace that because i have fell off the stilts because a strap has snapped before
which was the the top bubble that goes around has actually snapped on me before so anything that's
fraying like that you should really report and the second warrant her thing you'll get is the feet
sort of the grippers run away you know they were away on you and but again everything's replaceable
so you don't have to buy brand new silts you can just completely replace every every part of this
and but let me run through a couple of other things that has broken have i've seen other
people's books so i used to tie these really tight these cups for your around your leg and i tied my
one so tight before that it actually snapped i snapped this up the middle i think a five or
six quid repaired it so it wasn't a big big fix and and i've seen a fella's spring break before
and i think the big lads spring actually broke as well not not a hundred percent sure
and so that i've seen that snap again it might depend what you're you know what are you cleaning
this with um you know when you're putting oil or grease on things i think they can't grow there
and i don't think they're even metal i think they're something else but it could be wrong
so that's the main things guys obviously the holes here i'll just show you this as well
just really quickly this is another bit of warranty you'll see that hole
has kind of got bigger it's not a big big deal but you don't want that to get too big
um otherwise you know it won't it'll be shaken a lot but the reason that once you're big is because
that's the bottom hole and that's typically the satin that would be used the most on these stoves
i think again the lock nuts they can be easily replaced you should probably always
have some backup ones because if you're on a job or whatever you're doing if you lose
them you can't go on the stilts again keep them checked and make sure they are fastened because
if they come loose they still can open up when you're walking and you can fall
or if you're up top if it comes loose you're going to shoot down and it'll be bad so again
always make sure they're tightened every couple of you know even every half hour dinner just give
so
