A great height I've found!

Always love stuff that makes any job easier

I bought one about 15 years ago and it's still going strong, a few splats of paint and plaster on it now.

They are good but I don’t think they will ever fully replace the traditional upturned plastic beer crate

Make sure you put the clips on properly!!!

The site manager had a purge on a site I was working at, he banned all step ladders and ladders but he allowed the plasterers to carry on using upturned beer crates!

Sounds about right, the only thing you’re allowed to use is the one not designed to stand on.

I have one for servicing wall hung boilers. Perfect height for me. Makes the job much easier.

I sit me blasting pot on one of them next to cabinet just the right height for the grit regulator to be operated

Plasterers and carpet fitters are gods and we all must bow down to their wishes or that is the way it appears some days.
