The Werner Odd Job Workstand excels in providing a reliable and stable boost for numerous tasks around the home or job site. Its 0.5m height is ideal for reaching the top of standard-height walls for painting or wallpapering, accessing high windows for cleaning or preparation, and even for minor ceiling work. The large, slip-resistant platform instills confidence, allowing users to move freely without fear of slipping. The splayed base significantly contributes to its stability, making it feel solid even when actively working.
For example, when tackling a painting project, the workstand allows you to cover a broad section of wall or ceiling without constantly repositioning, unlike a step stool. The locking hinges ensure it remains rigidly open, providing a secure foundation. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to move from room to room, and its compact folded size means it doesn't take up much space in your vehicle or storage shed, making it a convenient tool for both professionals on the go and home users with limited storage.
Setting up your Werner Odd Job Workstand is straightforward:
Unfold: Grip the top platform and gently pull the legs outwards until they are fully extended.
Lock Hinges: Ensure that all locking hinges are fully engaged and clicked into place. This is crucial for stability and safety.
Position: Place the workstand on a flat, stable, and non-slippery surface before stepping on it.
This workstand is compatible with a wide range of indoor and outdoor tasks that require a modest height increase. It's perfect for:
Painting and decorating
Wallpapering
Plastering and preparation work
Cleaning windows or gutters
Garden maintenance tasks
Accessing high shelves or storage areas
It is not designed for use as a scaffold, for supporting heavy loads beyond its specified capacity, or for tasks requiring dynamic movement or significant reach beyond its platform height.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the safety of your workstand:
Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum frame and slip-resistant platform with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or the slip-resistant surface.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the hinges, legs, and platform for any signs of damage, wear, or loose components. Do not use the workstand if any part is damaged.
Storage: Store the workstand in its folded position in a dry area, away from extreme temperatures and corrosive substances. Ensure it's not stored in a way that could cause damage or bending.
