And the sound of ladder companies and big box stores rejoicing could be heard 'round the world...
I legitimately wonder how the use of a "3rd-party" product like this would be handled in a workers comp or civil lawsuit?

We use ladderm8. Very good, all our guys have the pro plus version.

I used to be a painter back in the 90s. We always carried a box of shim that we got from the carpenters so we could build up a side on uneven ground. As long as you feel stable on the ladder, it's well worth it.

I like those old wobbly wooden 200 pound tripod ladders.

We use the single leg levelers (installed on each leg) and have found that they work great. The only problem is they add a lot of weight and that extra weight is all to one side. That makes the ladder very awkward to carry.
Just used it yesterday to access two poles that were mounted on uneven surface.

We are not allowed by law to use straight ladders over 3m without stabilizers in bottom. This is scandinavia, it is not allowed to use ladders i stair anymore.

So the lockdown does not work well on uneven ground, but does the Levelizer NOT work on level ground?

The levelizer looks like a decent product, although I'd like to see a wider footprint at the taller end.
The lockdown on the other hand... it's pads are no bigger than the ladders so on flat surfaces, that's a detriment with the already seen problem of it sliding being an issue. More strips will not mitigate that possibility. Raised non-slip surfaces would help immensely. As for grass or dirt, I find the claw feet of ladders to be more than adequate. I couldn't see buying this for $25, let alone $180 to my door.

This is the first time seeing such products, Normally I would find a door stop or some books to level my ladder. ....and prey to God it doesn't kick out
