Ladder Saver

[EdEdgar]

I keep seeing this thing called a ladder saver on some of the equipment sites. Any body used one and does it help? It looks like a nipple end with a short tube welded on it.

Thanks Scott, This is why it is better to ask first then decide to do something stupid.

And no I won't be ordering one.

I love the x-jet

I hate Xjet. I hate the bucket. I use a dedicated pump for all chemicals and mix in my tank only what is needed. The fatboy will get between 30-50 feet depending on wind conditions and battery strength

Welcome Ed to the board,
We are doing some extensive research on how we can reach the hard to reach places where x-jetting and DS with conventional hose barbs and .030 nozzle can't reach.
People complain about the price, but if you ever get into a situation where a extra few feet or so depends on weather you can clean it properly or not.....
then you will be glad you have one.
It may not work proficiently on lesser GPM machines but on my 6,8 and 11's gpm rigs it out performs anything in my arsenal.
No doubt they are high in price, no argument there ..... but do a actual comparison to a 1/4 hose barb and see for yourself if hose barbs reaches farther w/ the right volume of water than a Ladder Saver.

I am not saying ds in better that xjet, I do both. What I am talking about if for the ones that ds and what to reach higher than hosebarb

I have one of these in my tool box and that's where it has stayed since I first used it, I have a Delco 5.5 @ 3500 and a hose barb far out performs the ladder saver.
